ABOUT THE SHOW: WORLD PREMIERE! Deadly, by Vanessa Stewart, is about the infamous "Murder Castle" killings during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. It is both horror musical and examination of the lives, hopes, and dreams stolen by America's first serial killer. Although this musical takes place at the turn of the 20th Century, Deadly is very much about our current situation in light of the #metoo and #timesup movements. All roles except for H.H. Holmes are color, ability, and gender inclusive.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
All roles are open to all ethnicities, except H.H. Holmes.
Emeline Cigrand - Female, 20s/30s, Contemporary musical theater Mezzo
- Warm and trusting. A nurse who longs to be a Suffragette.
Evelyn Stewart - Female, early 20s, Legit soprano - Adventurous
and brash. Quick witted and highly ambitious. Tends to take matters into her own
hands.
Julia Connor - Female, mid 20s to early 30s, Soprano
- Frustrated housewife attracted to the danger represented by Holmes' advances
Pearl Connor - Female, 12 (can be older but must read as pre-teen)
