BREAKDOWN

LIZZIE

SEEKING:

Lizzie Borden -20s to 30s-Mezzo soprano (F#3-F#5 with a high mix-belt or scream-belt to A5) Our anti-heroine Lizzie is both a tragic victim and a terrifying culprit. She鈥檚 a brooding social outcast and a magnetic celebrity. She expertly wields charisma and charm, and she knows just what people want to hear.

Emma Borden-30s to 40s Alto/Mezzo belt (F#3-D5 with the ability to growl and rasp) Twelve years older than Lizzie, Emma is an outspoken and protective older sister/maternal figure. She鈥檚 realistic, grounded, and fiercely loyal. Emma resents her father and despises his second wife.

Alice Russell - 20s to 30s Soprano (G3-A5 with F#3 ghost notes in one song) The sweet girl-next-door, Alice is caring, tender, and utterly in love with Lizzie. She might not be equipped to handle the real Lizzie, but beneath Alice鈥檚 innocence lies a romantic and seductive passion.

Bridget 鈥淢aggie鈥� Sullivan - 20s to 50s Contralto/Alto (F3-E5 with E3 ghost notes in one song) Occasionally serving as the narrator of our story, Bridget is the Bordens鈥� witty and sarcastic housemaid. Although she鈥檚 often disrespected by her employers, she is bold and outspoken, with a cheeky sense of humor. Speaks in an Irish dialect.
