Michael Todd
SEEKING LEADING CHARACTERS and ROBUST ENSEMBLE (Male & Female).
Based on the hit comedy film starring Dustin Hoffman and ranked as one of the best comedies of all-time on American Film Institute's list of "100 Years...100 Laughs," Tootsie has had audiences rolling in the aisles in what was hailed as "Broadway's funniest new musical!" (The New York Post). With music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner David Yazbek (The Band's Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and a laugh-out-loud book by Tony Award-winner Robert Horn (13 the Musical, Shucked), it comes as no surprise that Tootsie won Best Book of a Musical and received a staggering 11 Tony Award Nominations, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
Michael Dorsey is a skilled actor with a talent for not keeping a job. Desperate and out-of-work, Michael makes a last-ditch effort at making his dreams come true...by disguising himself as actress Dorothy Michaels. In a meteoric rise to Broadway stardom, Michael (disguised as Dorothy) soon has audiences enamored while falling for his co-star, Julie. It isn't long before Michael realizes that maintaining his greatest acting success is going to be much harder than he expected.

MICHAEL DORSEY / DORTHY MICHAELS
Michael is an actor’s actor. A focused perfectionist, outspoken, stubborn, abrasive and frustrated at where his career hasn’t taken him. Highly intelligent and desperate to do the one thing he loves more than life itself… act. Dorothy Michaels is strong-willed, understanding, and humorous. Slightly coy, slightly vain and completely lovable.
JEFF SLATER
Michael's roommate. A sardonic realist who lacks the ambition and drive to live up to his potential. The voice of reason that swirls just outside the eye of Michael's chaos. Jeff sees the humor of situations and has no reluctance to point out people’s flaws – even his own.
RON CARLISLE
An incredibly successful director. He demands respect and is often disrespectful in return.
JULIE NICHOLS
An actor at a crossroad in her life. Focused, self-aware and self-assured. She masks her pain and longs to connect.
SANDY LESTER
Michael's ex-girlfriend, now a friend. She’s neurotic, pessimistic, self-deprecating, childish, and easily flummoxed. She makes her anxieties known incredibly loudly and really just wants to be happy.
MAX VAN HORN
A self-obsessed actor with a limited wit. A firm believer in his own hype who can’t imagine anyone not being attracted to him.
STAN FIELDS
Michael’s overworked agent. Always to the point, he plays the game, but hates it.
STUART
The composer of Juliet's Curse.
SUZIE
The lyricist of Juliet's Curse.
