3 roles
Diana and Dan’s overachieving teenage daughter. Intelligent, musically gifted, and ambitious, but feels invisible in her own family. Natalie struggles with resentment toward her mother’s illness and her father’s preoccupation while hesitating to trust Henry’s genuine affection. Her journey is about finding her identity in a chaotic household. Vocal range: Mezzo-soprano with strong belt, G3–G5.
Diana and Dan’s son, vibrant and magnetic. Gabe represents Diana’s idealized vision of him, a memory frozen in time, yet his presence is deeply tied to the family’s pain. Equal parts charming and unsettling, he is central to Diana’s delusions and a constant reminder of their shared loss. Vocal range: Tenor, B2–C5 (falsetto to D5).
Natalie’s boyfriend, easygoing yet perceptive. A laid-back musician with a kind heart, Henry offers Natalie understanding and acceptance. He’s a steadying presence in her tumultuous world, even as he navigates the complexities of her family dynamic. Vocal range: Tenor, A2–A4 (falsetto to C5).
