Hey
I just learned that our fall musical this year is "Brigadoon." Now, I need help on characters. Can somebody post the voice ranges and descriptions for the lead and supporting male roles? Thank you so much!

I did this show a couple years ago...I'm going by memory here, so don't hold me to any of this:

Tommy is the lead male. He and Jeff, the other lead, are best friends. He's got a LOT of songs, and a lot of solos...definitely not an incredibly low voice. Got some high stuff in there.

Jeff (previously mentioned) is very funny. He doesn't sing. Like, at all.

Mr. Something-or-other is the guy who explains to Tommy and Jeff the whole Brigadoon deal. I don't think he sings too much, but probably in the chorus.

Charlie is "supporting" I guess, but definitely a main focus. He gets married to Jean. Two solos. Great part.

Harry is the "villain" type. He tries to destroy Brigadoon and crap. I don't think he has any solos but he definitely sings. He's fun because he's not a nice guy like everyone else..

That's the most of it.

Charlie is a high tenor and should have a boyish quality.

Harry Beaton, the villian, is a dance role.

If yuo rent the movie, don't be mislead. The movie had Tommy and Fiona dancing a lot, because it was Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, who were better dancers than singers. There are really singing roles with very little dance.

Thanks to the both of you for your help. Does anybody know what Tommy's highest note is? What would be some good audition material for him? Thanks!

Anybody? Would "Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame(Disney) work? Also, should I use a dramatic or comidic monolouge? Thanks

Hey!
I just found out that I got the role of Stuart Delrymple!!! It's not a very big speaking part, but I do have some pretty big solos. I'm happy. I ended up doing "Hey There" from The Pajama Game for my song in my audition. I thought it went well.
Thanks to all of you who helped!!!
