AUDITIONS – 45th

Anniversary Summer Season 2013 CHARACTER BREAKDOWN for CHICAGO

Roxie Hart (Lead - Mezzo with Belt/Strong Dancer) Female, plays 20's-50's. Quick-witted, chorus girl, whose sexy

innocence belies her willingness to do anything to have her name in lights - including murder. Excellent dancer, with strong sense of self.

Velma Kelly (Lead - Mezzo with Belt/Strong Dancer) 20's-50's. Exotic vampy, well-known performer who's used sex

appeal and keen, manipulative skills to keep her in public news. An imprisoned murderess who sees Roxie's growing fame to be a threat. Excellent dancer with strong sense of style.

Billy Flynn (Lead - Baritone/Strong Mover) Male, plays 30's-50's. Dashing, good looks and charm. A smart, wheeler-

dealing lawyer good at manipulating truths with a likable demeanor. Strong mover.

Matron 'Mama' Morton (Alto with Belt) Female, plays 30's-50's. Matronly with an edge. Runs the Cook County Jail

with slippery loyalties to female inmates. A fan of the girls' fame. Character actress with comic ability and tough power. Great belt a must.

Amos Hart (Baritone) Male, plays 30's-50's. Roxie's gullible husband. Vulnerable, social misfit, blind to Roxie's true colors by his needy love for her. Must have an affable likability and sincerity.

Mary Sunshine (Counter Tenor - Falsetto [Sopr. Range] High Bb) Male to play female. A talk-show hostess, gossip monger who feigns a good-natured exterior to grab the scoop for her gossip column.

The roles of Fred Casely, Sergeant Fogarty, Go-To-Hell-Kitty and the "Cell Block Tango" Ladies will be cast from the ensemble of strong dancer-singers.
