[JAMES/JUNSEO] - Character is male (cis, transgender or nonbinary), 40s–60s, Asian. James is Oliver’s former owner. James was in his late 30s when Oliver began working for him, and in his 40s when Oliver last saw him. Oliver probably remembers him on the younger side. James loves jazz and all sorts of outdated fashions and technology, passions that he has passed on to Oliver. Will Double as various other characters that Oliver and Claire encounter in the world. Bari-tenor who can sing with clarity and simplicity from B3-F4. Piano skills are a plus.
[U/S OLIVER] - Character is male (cis, transgender or non-binary), 20s—30s, Asian. Boyish and innocent appearance. A robot, specifically an obsolete Helperbot 3. Despite appearing very human, his emotional levels and physical movements are a bit less gradated than the Helperbot 5. He loves other forms of outdated technology, like LP players and paper maps and books. Optimistic by design, Oliver has always believed his former owner is eventually going to come pick him up from the discarded Helperbot apartment complex. Baritenor who can sing with clarity and simplicity from A3 up to a strong G4. Facility with straight tone is welcomed, as well as comfort with falsetto or light mix. Great physical control and movement, as well as comic ability. TO BE PLAYED BY DARREN CRISS
[U/S CLAIRE] - Character is female (cis, or non-binary), 20s—30s, Asian. Girlish and innocent appearance. A robot, specifically a Helperbot 5. As a model 5, she is capable of slightly more nuanced emotional shadings than the 3. Somewhat impatient with less advanced models. Claire has also forsworn any kind of long-term emotional bond, having observed at close range the broken relationship of the couple that owned her. A voice with clarity down Ab4 and a clean belt or strong mix Eb5. Most essential is control of mix/head voice up through D5 and facility with straight tone, perhaps erring outside of a traditional musical theatre sound. Great physical control and movement, as well as comic ability. TO BE PLAYED BY HELEN J. SHEN
[U/S JAMES/JUNSEO] - Character is male (cis, transgender or nonbinary), 40s–60s, Asian. James is Oliver’s former owner. James was in his late 30s when Oliver began working for him, and in his 40s when Oliver last saw him. Oliver probably remembers him on the younger side. James loves jazz and all sorts of outdated fashions and technology, passions that he has passed on to Oliver. Will Double as various other characters that Oliver and Claire encounter in the world. Bari-tenor who can sing with clarity and simplicity from B3-F4. Piano skills are a plus.
[U/S GIL BRENTLEY] - Character is male (cis, transgender or non-binary), 20s—50s, any ethnicity. A popular American big band leader from the mid 20th century, now remembered by a select few. Gil Brentley was James’ favorite jazz musician, and therefore is Oliver’s as well. Everything Oliver knows about human relationships he learned from Gil’s songs. Sings/croons in the style of a singer of the 1940s—50s (like Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole). C3 to G4. Jazz piano skills a plus. TO BE PLAYED BY DEZ DURON
