After a long hiatus from the Blogging world, Orpheus Updates are now back in full swing!
First, the music is done, and work proceeds on the script. It is projected to be done by the end of next week in time for auditions. (See Next Post)
Also, the character list has been finalized, along with cast size:
Cassandra – A woman who nobody believes but is always right about the future. Serves as one narrator.
Tireseus – A blind man who can tell the future. Serves as one narrator.
Orpheus – Lead singer in the most popular band in all of Greece.
Eurydice – A student at the local university against pop in all its forms.
Penny, Polly, and Peggy – Three vapid and shallow girls who go to every one of Orpheus’s shows.
Megara – Eurydice’s best friend
Claudius – Orpheus’s best friend and co-manager.
Julia – Orpheus’s best galpal and co-manager.
Hades – God of the underworld.
Persephone – Hades’ wife
In addition to these 12 principle roles, up to 6 other chorus parts will be cast. The chorus will have parts in most scenes, playing many different parts. All characters except Orpheus, Eurydice, Cassandra, and Tireseus will at some point sing in the chorus.
