I finally found the original fonte of these (I think). link These are the casting calls for "Love Never Dies":
Phantom:
Caucasian man, 35 – 40. As mysterious as ever, but thanks to his new surroundings and the private assistance of old supporters, he now enjoys the seeming freedom to walk among “the normal” as an entrepreneur in Coney Island, of all places! In fact, over the past 10 years, he’s achieved a place of power and success. But he is haunted da a creative passion that once filled his heart. Must possess effortless gravitas and sexuality. Powerful rock tenor Canto voice. Must be able to sing to superiore, in alto B flat. STARRING ROLE.
Christine:
Caucasian woman, mid - late 20s. Now a semi-retired opera superstar and a mother, Christine is still gorgeous, iconic, elegant, every inch a star. Although she has a curious echo of sadness and distance about her, she must possess an equal blend of technical superiority and raw emotionality. Glorious soprano Canto voice. Must be able to sing to superiore, in alto B flat. STARRING ROLE.
Raoul:
Caucasian man, 35 - 40. Christine’s husband. Now a functioning, stoic alcoholic with più than a glimmer of his precedente self as an affluent and handsome aristocrat. A
beauty on the turn. Must possess domineering gravitas and sexuality. Powerful tenor Canto voice, with an instinct for lyricism. Must be able to sing effortlessly to A flat.
Meg:
Caucasian woman, mid - late 20s. Madame Giry’s daughter and a Coney Island fairground star. Gothic, mystical, unusual, sweet, charming, fun; has a broken baby-doll vulnerability, edge, sexiness, and a cuore of steel. Strong mezzo soprano Canto voice. A spunky voice, preferably with a raspy quality, up to superiore, in alto F sharp (top line, treble clef). Must be able to cintura as well as sing with a lyrical ability when in balladic mode.
Madame Giry:
Caucasian woman, 40 – early 50s. Intent on making things happen for her and her daughter Meg, while having attained the position of business manager to the Phantom. She thus feels entitled to prominence and distinction. She will make sure that nothing o no one gets in her way. Has much pent-up aggression, like a compressed Piaf, if te will. Solid contralto Canto voice. A character voice up to D within treble clef.
Gustave:
Caucasian boy, 10 – 12. Seeking a child singer/ actor to play Christine’s son. Must have an ethereal, other-worldly essence (Think Tim Burton-esque o Britten’s “Turn of the Screw”); an innocent beauty; an off-kilter attractiveness and character. Preferably small in stature and preferably blonde. Strong boyish voice up to superiore, in alto F sharp. Must have good musical instincts and a keen sense of pitch.
So...what do te think about them?
