*Please be aware that we are turning this into a musical using modern songs (Think Baz Luhrman’s Moulin Rouge). Some roles like BALTHAZAR are being designed to narrate along the show through music. I have combined the roles of URSULA and ANTONIO for story telling purposes making Ursula more of a central character. I am still working on the adaptation and song selections. Some songs may be altered, changed, or completely cut in the rehearsal process as we see what works best specifically for our cast and show. I will have a rough draft of our script available soon on the show page… Remember it is a rough draft and things are subject to change.
