Breakdown

For Lake George Dinner Theatre:

THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES

“The Marvelous Wonderettes” is a jukebox musical featuring pop songs from the 50s & 60s. Act 1 takes place at their 1958 high school prom and Act 2 jumps ahead to their 10-year reunion. Lake George

Dinner Theatre is a small venue and actors will not be wearing body mics. This show will be performed with piano only. All roles open to any race or ethnicity.

First Rehearsal: Monday June 22
Opening Night: Friday July 10
Closing Night: Saturday Sept 5

Cindy Lou (18, 28) Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt: E3–F5. She knows she is the prettiest girl at Springfield High. She knows she will be named Prom Queen and acts out against her best friend Betty Jean when things don’t go her way. She makes the biggest change between Acts I & II, having learned the lessons of true love and loss. Sings melody line on most songs, so the other girls hang their vocals on this voice. Among the songs she sings lead are: "Allegheny Moon," "Son of a Preacher Man," and "Maybe."

Missy (18, 28) Vocal Range: Soprano: G3–A5. She is the over-achiever of the group. Very controlled, very concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and perfect. Head of the Prom Decorations Committee, and absolutely smitten with her music teacher. Her best friend is Suzy. Wide range, floating high vocals and belting throughout the show. Among the songs she sings lead are: "Secret Love," "You Don’t Own Me," and "Wedding Bell Blues."

Betty Jean (18, 28) Vocal Range: Alto with strong low range: D3–E5. She is the class clown and tomboy, always vying for attention with Cindy Lou, her best friend. It’s also highly probable that Betty Jean wants to be with Cindy Lou herself, but just doesn’t even know what those feelings really are. Cindy Lou steals Betty Jean’s boyfriend away, which causes a lot of the friction at the prom. She holds this grudge against Cindy Lou until they make up at the ten-year reunion. Among the songs she sings lead are: "Lipstick on Your Collar," "I Only Want To Be With You," and "That’s When The Tears Start."

Suzy (18, 28) Vocal Range: Mezzo-Alto with both sweet and soulful voice: G3–E5. She is the gum-chewing, happy-go-lucky, go-along girl. Super-best friends with Missy, Suzy is always a little giddy and a little silly and finds great pleasure in everything she does. In love with the lighting operator, completely surprised when named Prom Queen. Frustrated, sad, hormonal, and pregnant in Act II. This role requires an excellent part singer and an expert comic actor. Among the songs she sings lead are: "Stupid Cupid," "Hold Me, Thrill Me," and "Rescue Me."

THE 39 STEPS
“The 39 Steps” is a comedic adaptation of the old Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same title. It is a fastpaced and action-packed romp whose main performance requirements are sharp comedic timing and physical stamina. All roles open to any race or ethnicity.

First Rehearsal: Monday Aug 31

Opening Night: Friday Sept 18

Closing Night: Saturday Oct 17

Richard Hannay – 40s, Male presenting. Any race or ethnicity. 1930s leading man type. Suave, dashing Band debonaire. Intelligent and resourceful. A touch full of himself. Maybe more than a touch. Actor must be able to maintain an upper-class British accent and be an adept physical comic.

Annabella/Pamela/Margaret – 30s - 40s. Female presenting. Any race or ethnicity. Primarily the classic 1930s British ingenue, but also plays a German woman and a Scottish farmer. Must be able to perform all of the applicable accents. Must be an adept physical comic and create all three very different characters.

Clown #1 & Clown #2 – 30s-50s. Any gender, race, or ethnicity. The two clowns portray over 150 roles over the course of the play and are essentially EVERYONE that the two leads are not. They must be physically agile and have a great deal of stamina, in addition to having a slew of accents (especially European) and voices at their disposal. Exemplary comedic timing is essential! Must be able to lift certain set pieces and move adroitly throughout the stage and between roles.
