Hello all!

I'm looking for more neurotic/awkward male characters in the same vain as Oscar in SWEET CHARITY, Brad in ROCKY HORROR, Leo in THE PRODUCERS, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Not quite so much the nerdy, vaguely effeminate type of neurosis seen in most musical character men, but Mr. Wormwood in Matilda is one hundred percent nervous energy, physical tics, constant bluffing and braggadocio with a constant streak of paranoia running underneath. The way his character is written and portrayed strongly implies but does not ever state that there has been some cocaine involved.
