Orpheus - The main character. A rockstar who falls in love at first sight with a woman who could not care less about the image he presents to his adoring public.
Eurydice - The heroine of the story. A free-thinking, outspoken liberal girl severely out of place in Ancient Greece.
Julia and Claudius - Orpheus's best friends
Megara - Eurydice's best friend who wants to stay on top of some of the latest trends. Tries to adapt to Eurydice's Hades-May-Care style of thinking, but finds it hard sometimes to do so.
Hades - Ruler of the Underworld
Persephone - Hades' reluctant wife and Queen of the Underworld during winter and fall.
Penny, Polly, and Peggy - Three vapid, blonde Orpheus fans who may not be all that they seem to be.
Cassandra and Tireseus - Two seers each with their own disabilities. Cassandra is unable to make anyone believe what she knows to be true, and Tireseus is blind. Each uses their special gifts to help narrate the sad tale of Orpheus and Eurydice as it unfolds.
In the coming weeks, I will be slowly releasing tidbits of music to be featured in the musical, prospective performance dates and locations, cast and crew, and scraps of the ultimate plot.
