THE FOLLOWING ROLES WILL BE CAST…

Satine
Female, in the 30s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. Satine is a star. Beau­ti­ful, glam­orous, sexy, com­mand­ing. Ful­ly aware of her worth. Wicked sense of humour and smart… But beyond this, our hero­ine has a deep human­i­ty. She has suf­fered and her wounds are very close to the skin. Must be an incred­i­ble singer. Pow­er­ful High Belt and strong mix voice.

Chris­t­ian
Male, 20s-30s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. A hand­some young Amer­i­can. There’s a spe­cial inten­si­ty and dri­ve behind his easy and nat­ur­al charm.

Hen­ri Toulouse-Lautrec
Male, 30s-40s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. The famous French artist. He is a bold vision­ary and a tough-mind­ed anti-roman­tic roman­tic. A doomed genius. Extreme­ly charis­mat­ic and fer­vent­ly elo­quent. Must be a strong singer. Baritone.

Zidler
Male, 40s-60s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. The M.C. and Impre­sario of the Moulin Rouge. He seems almost a human car­i­ca­ture – too grand and showy. His man­ner is sly and insin­u­at­ing. He’s know­ing and wise, crafty, and venal. All in all, irre­sistible. Must be a strong singer. Baritone.

Duke
Male, 30s-40s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. A hand­some, vir­ile man. Drip­ping with wealth and pow­er. Old French aris­toc­ra­cy, mod­ern atti­tudes, and tastes. He car­ries real class and grav­i­tas. Dan­ger­ous­ly sexy. Must be an incred­i­ble singer. Tenor

San­ti­a­go
Male, 30s, BPoC (Latin Amer­i­can her­itage). San­ti­a­go is a com­i­cal­ly dash­ing fig­ure. He’s the great­est tan­go dancer in Paris – and the great­est gigo­lo. A fero­cious Argen­tin­ian swash­buck­ler, he lives for the extrav­a­gant tor­ments of love. He’s wild, dan­ger­ous, and unpre­dictable, dri­ven by his pas­sion­ate emo­tions. A bril­liant dancer. Must be an incred­i­ble singer. Baritenor.

Nini
Female, 30s, any eth­nic­i­ty is wel­come to apply. Lead dancer at the Moulin Rouge. Sharp, ambi­tious, sexy, and cun­ning. Has all the assets of a real star, except for warmth. Hard and gor­geous as a gem­stone. Bril­liant dancer. Must be a strong singer. Strong High Belt.
