LIEUTENANT FRANK CIOFFI (30’s - 40’s): Sweetly endearing local Boston detective who idolizes the world of musical theatre. The undisputed central character of the musical. Requires deft and charming comedy, good singing, solid dancing. NIKI HARRIS (20s-early 30s) Pretty, almost too innocent ingénue, a local performer in a small role hoping “Robbin’ Hood” will be the Boston production that at last takes her to Broadway. Requires a legit soprano and strong dancing. GEORGIA HENDRICKS (30’s – mid-40’) Female half of our show-within-a-show’s songwriting team. Ends up taking on the leading lady role. Must sing and dance extremely well. CARMEN BERNSTEIN (45-65) Brash and brassy Broadway producer. Terrific comedic actress with a belting voice. AARON FOX (30’s - 40s) The composer of the show-within-the-show. Hes a handsome, intense, somewhat tortured artist-type. Requires a strong vocalist with comedy. SIDNEY BERNSTEIN (Late 50’s-Mid 60’s): The always-angry, sleazy, philandering producer. rough around the edges and completely self-serving. Requires a cartoon-like character actor who is funny on arrival. No singing required. CHRISTOPHER BELLING (40-60) English director. Very camp. Very droll. Noel Coward meets Addison DeWitt meets Clifton Webb. Requires a superb comic actor. BAMBI “BERNÉT” (Early 20s-early 30s) Genuinely brassy and artificially blonde. Requires great dancing, strong “street-smart dumb blonde” comedy, and singing. OSCAR SHAPIRO (45-65): A likeably gruff man who knows nothing about theatre and frets over every dime of his that’s spent. Requires good “rough around the edges” comedy and singing. BOBBY PEPPER (30’s to early 40’s) The Gene Kelly of “Robbin’ Hood,” its choreographer and male star, and a handsome rival to Aaron for Georgia’s affection. Requires strong dancing, singing, comedy. DARYL GRADY (30’s-40’s): Caustic and smug theatre critic for the local Boston newspaper. Patronizingly pompous, enjoys using his power to make or break shows during their Boston tryouts. Does not require strong singing or dancing. JOHNNY HARMON (30s-60s) Stage Manager of the show-within-the-show, and both drill sergeant and mother hen to the cast. Barks orders but has a pleasant side as well. Comic actor who can sing. JESSICA CRANSHAW (40’s-60’s) Faded Hollywood star, a grand diva with no right to be one. Must be skillful enough to sing hilariously out-of-tune and ineptly, and adroit enough to dance perfectly out of step with the rest of the cast. ENSEMBLE (Various ages) stars and performers in ‘Robbin’ Hood’. Singing and dancing in show stopping numbers. Performances August 7-24.
