Characters: (all roles available)
Phil Connors– Vocal Range: F#2-B4, over it and everybody, a burned-out TV weatherman, resentful, entitled. Phil grows and changes throughout the course of the show and needs to also show a great deal of emotional depth and real acceptance of the ramifications of his previous behavior.
Rita Hanson – Vocal Range: F#3-E5, a TV producer, professional, down to earth, empath, but knows what she wants, and knows what she does not want even more.
Larry – TV cameraman, constantly disrepected by Phil.
Ned Ryerson/Healer – Vocal Range: Ab2-F4, An old friend of Phil Connors’ from high school. A comedic, fast-talking life insurance salesman who crosses paths with Phil every morning.
Nancy Taylor – Vocal Range: F#3-B4, Self-aware, up against the odds. A fatalistic surrender to her never-changing lot in life as the “pretty one.” In a rut of her own.
Mrs. Lancaster – Vocal Range: A3-F4, A chipper, older, bed and breakfast owner with a huge smile and broken coffee maker.
Freddie/Psychiatric Pharmacologist – Vocal Range: D4-A4, Freddie is a pro wrestling fan and marching band member. In a relationship with Debbie (but afraid to pop the question). Upbeat, huge fan of Phil Connors.
Ralph – Vocal Range: G3-C#5, Punxsutawney Townie who hangs out at the local dive bar, aside from shooting cans in a field somewhere and sleeping in every day.
Debbie – Debbie is a pro wrestling fan and marching band member. In a relationship with Freddie (but no ring yet). Upbeat, huge fan of Phil Connors.
Doris/AA Person – Diner waitress. Can’t sing but still needs to sing.
Buster – Vocal Range: E3-Bb3, Upbeat and offbeat Town Elder who oversees Punxsutawney Phil’s annual prediction. Leads the parade and takes care of the famed groundhog.
Gus/Bartender Billy – Vocal Range: A2-F34, Punxsutawney Townie who hangs out at the local dive bar, aside from shooting cans in a field somwhere and sleeping in every day.
Sheriff – Vocal Range: F3-D4, One of two town cops. Forgetful, lackadaisical.
Deputy – The other town cop. Sheriff’s sidekick.
Five to seven additional ensemble members who must sing and dance well
