2 roles
Tenor with riffing B2-A4. A la Hedwig (the one with the Angry Inch, not the owl), but trapped in a rugrat’s body. A quintessential first child whose world was rocked when another human infant suddenly appeared in their house. Equal parts loving and cynical, sweet and competitive, inquisitive and reckless. Wants to know if we’re there yet. Doubles as Waiter, Birth Class Instructor.
Alto with belt and riffing Eb3-F5. Little Orphan Annie meets Wednesday Addams meets Aretha Franklin. The spunky youngest member of the nuclear family. Often an afterthought, she gets her family’s attention by belting their faces off. Darkly humorous but deeply loving. She’s rubber and you’re glue. Doubles as Nosy Lady, Birth Class Attendee, Jingle Gal.
