CHARACTERS

DEAN: An arrogant, stubborn divorce lawyer who is cynical about love. He is very opinionated and competitive, and he thinks that he knows everything and can win at everything. He is so used to anticipating every possible outcome and having an intelligent plan to deal with it that when he finds himself in an unexpected position, he freaks out. Vocal Range: Baritenor (C3-G4)

VICTORIA: A capable, strong, intimidating divorce lawyer (and Dean’s rival). She has incredible empathy, but expresses it via fierce protection and firm guidance (if she’s on your side) and ruthless attacks (if she’s not). She is proactive and likes to win, but only if she won fair and square. She is terrified of being vulnerable, and of other people seeing her as a vulnerable person, because she does not ever want to get hurt again. Vocal Range: Mezzo (A3-Eb5)

NICK: Dean’s paralegal. Seemingly helpful and sincere, but with a shallow and arrogant side (which he is aware of and trying to keep in check). A former high school jock and bully who believes he is a much better person now. Vocal Range: Tenor or Alto (D3-A4)

WALKER: Dean’s confident and practical receptionist. She is very upfront and unapologetically herself. She earned her confidence by going through a lot of bullshit and learning to not care about it. Vocal Range: Mezzo (Bb3-F#5) OR Baritone (Bb3-F#4)

ZOE: Dean’s sister. She is soft-spoken and meek. She is currently unsure of pretty much everything in her life. She is afraid of definitively figuring out what she wants, because then she would have no excuse for not going for it. But at the same time, she desperately wants to figure it out. Vocal Range: Mezzo (Bb3-F5)

SUMMER: Dean’s quirky but laid-back ex-girlfriend. She is resolute and secure in herself, and she seems “cool”, but she avoids drama at all costs, shying away from problems rather than letting herself get worked up over them. Vocal Range: Alto (E3-B4)

SAM: A former client of Dean’s whose divorce was completed about a year ago. Extremely insecure, but also can’t help being generally enthusiastic. Sam is so busy trying to put herself out there and find love again, she doesn’t see what is right in front of her. Vocal Range: Mezzo (C#4-F#5) OR Baritone (C#3-F#4)

CASEY: The owner of The Sandbar (restaurant/bar where Dean is a regular). Sweet, sensitive, almost suave, fun, and warmly supportive. Basically, exactly the type of guy you would expect to be friendzoned. He’s been in love with Sam for years. Vocal Range: Baritone (C3-F4) OR Mezzo (C4-F5)

MAX: Dean’s best friend. He is patient, stoic, and kind, and tends to assume things will work out as long as he keeps working calmly towards the desired outcome. But when things do pile up enough that he starts to get overwhelmed, he tends to implode. Vocal Range: Baritone (Ab2-F4) OR Mezzo (Ab3-F5)

ADRIAN: A manager at the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum, and Max’s fiancée. Well, former fiancée, unless Dean can fix things. He is caring and organized, but also incredibly emotional, easily flustered, and uptight. Vocal Range: Tenor OR Alto (D3-C#5)

APHRODITE: The goddess of love, and she’s a foul-mouthed, bitchy, feisty diva. Unfortunately for you, she has a short temper and a scary streak, and she gets impatient easily. Vocal Range: Soprano (Ab3-Ab5)

CUPETTES: Aphrodite’s minions. They follow Dean around, observing, singing back-up, and reporting back to Aphrodite. Vocal Range: Dove is a Soprano (Bb3-Bb5), Myrtle is a Mezzo (Ab3-F#5), Sparrow is an Alto (F#3-Eb5)
