The Story
Set in Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties, vaudeville performer, Queenie and her volatile partner, Burrs, host an evening of excess for her guests; a collection of the unruly and undone. The jazz and gin-soaked party rages to a mounting sense of threat as artifice and illusion are stripped away. When midnight debauchery leads to tragedy at dawn, this dark and decadent musical reminds us that no party lasts forever.
*This show contains adult content.
Character Breakdown
* The age range for each character is flexible and all ethnicities will be considered.
There are only a few times throughout the show that people leave the stage. All of these characters must be very strong singers, actors, and move well.
Phil D'Armano: (Male.25-35. Baritone) Oscar's brother and lover who dresses as his twin. A composer and an entertainer in every sense of the word. Very flamboyant. Has one featured song and will be in all group numbers as well.
