    *Cast Breakdown: *

  * MAN IN CHAIR Age Range: 35-55: Musical theatre aficionado who mourns
    the end of the Golden Era. His recording of "The Drowsy Chaperone"

    requires a strong actor who can sing and dance some. He is onstage
    for the entire show.
  * JANET VAN de GRAAF Age Range: 25-35: Leading Lady type -- and strong
    singer, dancer and actor -- a true triple threat. Strong dance and
    acrobatic skills a must. Vocal Range: G3 -- Eb

    she could play the ukulele. Vocal Range: G3 -- Db5 (Alto)
