Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Andrew Jackson | M | 0+ | A roguish, man's president. Deeply charming and sexy, so much so that you somehow don't mind he's a violent, arrogant, bigoted idiot. Fights passionately for what he believes in. Personifies “strong but wrong.” Ages throughout the show so should be able to play young. Must be adept at deadpan comedy. High Baritone Rock, vocal range of Bb2 to Bb4. Guitar-playing a plus. | Martin Van Buren | M | 0+ | Jackson's right hand man. In over his head. A buffoon, well-intentioned and utterly lovable. Doubles as other roles. | Rachel Jackson | F | 0+ | Jackson's wife. Deeply religious and devoted, even maternal, to Jackson. Good if older than Jackson. Strangely alluring, not overly sexual. Doubles as other roles. Vocal range A3 to B4. | The Story Teller | F | 0+ | Milquetoast, oppressively good natured narrator. Wears a Puff the Magic Dragon style sweater, thick glasses, and her hair in a bun. Loves history, loves Jackson, and loves telling the audience about both. Being in the show might be the most exciting moment in her life. Doubles as other roles. | John C. Calhoun | M | 0+ | Gentlemen senator from the South. Sinister, good looking, charming, and brilliant. A vain mastermind. Wearing the finest clothes. The most restrained of the cabal. Tall, thin. Doubles as other roles. Baritone, vocal range B2 to F3. | Henry Clay | M | 0+ | A backwoods version of Calhoun's villainous senator. Over-the-top and vivacious. Transparent in his villainy and revels in it.
