All roles are available. We are looking for a diverse cast with a variety of body types.
ELIZA DOOLITTLE (Female-presenting; able to play 20s-early 30s)
A poor girl who dreams of working in a flower shop while she sells flowers in England's Covent Garden; she employs Henry Higgins to help her with her speech and begins to transform herself into a regal figure fit to consort with nobility. In the end, she not only passes for a duchess, but becomes an independent woman. Vocal Range: A3-G5
HENRY HIGGINS (Male Presenting; able to play 30s-50s)
A middle-aged confirmed bachelor, a professor of phonetics and an expert elocutionist; he is an unconventional man who goes in the opposite direction from the rest of society in most matters; he is impatient with high society, forgetful in his public graces, and inconsiderate of normal social niceties. He has no desire to have romance of any kind in his life. Vocal Range: B2-E4
COLONEL PICKERING (Male Presenting; able to play 50s-60s)
A kindly, middle-aged man who shares Higgins' passion for phonetics; Pickering is always considerate and a genuine gentleman who helps in the Eliza experiment by making a wager of it, saying he will cover the costs if Higgins does indeed make a convincing duchess of Eliza. It is Pickering's thoughtful treatment towards Eliza that teaches her to respect herself. Vocal Range: C3-D4
ALFRED DOOLITTLE (Male Presenting; able to play 50s-60s)
Eliza's father, any ethnicity; a dustman, or trash collector, who has a very unique "morality," in that he is very happy to be a freeloader; when he learns that his daughter has entered the home of Henry Higgins, he quickly follows to see if he can get some money out of the circumstance. His unique brand of rhetoric, unembarrassed, non-hypocritical advocacy of drink and pleasure (at other people's expense) is amusing to Higgins. Vocal Range: G3-E4
FREDDY EYNSFORD-HILL (Male Presenting; able to play 20s-early 30s)
An aristocrat, although he has no income of his own; he becomes lovesick for Eliza, and courts her with letters. A romantic. Vocal Range: C3-F4
MRS. HIGGINS (Female Presenting; able to play 60s+)
Professor Higgins' mother; a very refined lady of the upper-middle class; she sees the Eliza Doolittle experiment as idiocy and is the first and only character to have any qualms about the whole affair; when her worries prove true, it is to her that all the characters turn. Because no woman can match up to his mother, Higgins claims, he has no interest in dallying with them.
MRS. PEARCE (Female-presenting; able to play 40s-60s)
Higgins' housekeeper who helps to care for the well-being of Eliza Doolittle; she is an observer of this experiment and watches to make sure that Eliza is kept safe. Vocal Range: E4-G4
MRS. EYNSFORD-HILL (Female Presenting; able to play 40s-60s)
Freddy’s mother. Proper, well versed in society. Babies her son and financially supports him.
