SEEKING: 4 Male Actors to fill the following roles-

Billy. Age 18-21. Any body type, should be smooth-chested. Tenor, with a clear High B-Flat.  Naive.  Young.  Innocent.  Inexperienced. Awkward. Unsure. Introverted. Curious. Virginal. Idealistic. Sincere. Vulnerable.

Maurice.  Age Early 30's to Mid-40's. Medium-build.  Depending on casting for other characters, he should appear the oldest.  Pop-Baritone to a High A-flat. Should have a killer Maurice Chevalier impression  (Think Lumiere in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) for Bathhouse ABC’s. . Billy’s foil.   On the surface: Charming,  Insincere, Smarmy, Manipulative,  Aggressive,  Self-serving.  Inside: vulnerable, lonely, longing for his past, for his lost love. Though not necessarily the most attractive Bathhouse member, he should exude a sexual magnetism unparalleled by the rest of the cast.  Witty.  Everyone knows Maurice at the Baths and looks up to him, which is why he can’t show his inner pain.

Teddy.  Age 21-25. Twink, lean, swimmer’s build.  Little to no chest hair.  Should appear at least relatively Billy’s age.  Tenor to a B-flat (Falsetto C).  Sweet, good-natured, cute, excitable.  Boyish.  He was in Billy’s position not too long ago. Has gained the wisdom that Billy learns throughout the show.  Loves his hairy men.  Must have the ability to make the audience fall in love with his wide-eyed innocence.  Think Barnaby in Hello, Dolly!

David.  Age 28-40.  Bari-tenor.  Pop Baritone with high G’s.   Should be able to riff and have a strong pop falsetto.   Hot, Ripped, Muscular.  Named after the Michelangelo statue of the same name for his impeccable physique.  Though David serves as eye-candy for the entire Bathhouse population, we learn that he is in fact lonely, since others are actually intimidated by his looks.  We also learn, that he trapped and is a slave to his body now.  We find and get hints throughout the show that he might have interest in Billy.  His passion for working out stems from the insecurities of being formerly overweight.
