The Bard. Over the top with a huge ego. A Renaissance rock star and sex symbol. Can’t stand that someone (Nick) is trying to take his spot as the best there is Baritone/Tenor
A Puritan woman who loves poetry, theater, and ultimately Nigel. Torn between her father (Brother Jeremiah) and religion, and the joy and freedom offered by art and Nigel Soprano
A soothsayer, the nephew of the more famous Nostradamus - often mostly probably kind of correct, sort of. Big personality to back up his big predictions Baritone
Portia's father. A Puritan who thinks Nick and Nigel's plays are sinful. Any plays are sinful. Music is sinful. Everyone else is sinful…except himself Baritone
A posh patron of the theater. Pompous but terrified of falling out of line
An avid theater enthusiast and investor to whom Nick and Nigel are in debt. Tevye, if he were a rich man
Our narrator and storyteller. Plays the Lute. Joyfull, energetic, and attention grabbing (only second to Shakespeare in this regard)
