CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
- DR. FRANK 'N' FURTER: Male, age 25-45. A sweet transvestite (and Alien) who is equal parts masculine and feminine, and comfortable with wearing women’s clothing (lingerie, corset, fishnet stockings, stiletto heels), showing a bit of flesh, sexual situations, and physical contact with both men and women. Baritone or Tenor.
- BRAD MAJORS: Male, age 20-35. An everyman who is nerdy and stalwart, yet romantic at heart. Must be comfortable performing in underwear only, as well as women’s lingerie and heels (Floor Show). Baritone or Tenor.
- JANET WEISS: Female, age 20-35. Brad’s innocent fiancée, who journeys from prim to prowling over the course of the evening. Must be comfortable performing in bra, panties and slip only. Solid belt mix.
- RIFF RAFF: Male, age 20-40. Works as the Doctor’s Butler, but is actually an alien with an agenda. Outrageous, creepy, and over the top. Rock Tenor Belt.
- MAGENTA/USHERETTE #1: Female, age 20-40. Works as the Doctor’s Maid. She is also an alien with an agenda, and Riff-Raff’s sister. (As the Usherette, she opens and closes the show.) Overtly seductive and slightly off. Solid Belt.
- COLUMBIA/USHERETTE #2: Female, age 20-35. Hyper, manic, bipolar, prone to adolescent mood swings. Must be able to tap dance. Character Belt.
- ROCKY: Male, age 20-35. The idealized blonde muscle man, as built by the Doctor. Must be muscular, and comfortable performing in a speedo. Rock Tenor.
- EDDIE/DR. EVERETT SCOTT: Male, age 30-45. Eddie (high baritone/tenor) is a bad boy who has a complicated relationship with both Frank and Columbia. Dr. Scott (baritone with good low notes) is a scientist with a German accent, uses a wheelchair. Will consider splitting these roles.
- NARRATOR: May be Male or Female, age 30-70. Minimal singing. Stuffy, droll, must be able to roll with extensive audience interaction.
- PHANTOMS: Male and Female, age 20-40, all vocal ranges. Must dance or move very well.
PLEASE NOTE: All actors must be comfortable in skimpy or tight fitting clothing, showing flesh (no nudity), liberal theatrically sexual situations, extensive audience interaction, being wild and outrageous, and taking chances.
