________________________
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN reunites us with (4) familiar archetypes in musical theatre literature: the prim SOPRANO, the brassy ALTO, the self-absorbed TENOR and the barrel-chested, romantic BARITONE. We meet them discontented in their safe, secure world of art, where everything is provided: songs, words, thoughts and, as always, a happy ending.
Overcome by feelings or personal and artistic restriction, they decide to escape the dimension of their fictional world and see what it’s like to explore the "real" one to see what it's like. Many issues arise along the journey. The show follows whom they meet, what happens to them, what they learn and how they end up…happily or otherwise.
