Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Tito Merelli ("Il Stupendo") | M | 0+ | The world-famous, over-indulgent Italian tenor. He is glamorous, high-spirited, accident-prone, and a notorious ladies' man who loves the spotlight. | Max | M | 0+ | General Manager Saunders' long-suffering, nervous, and diffident assistant. He is secretly an extraordinary tenor with big dreams, Maggie's boyfriend, and the reluctant understudy forced to impersonate Tito. | Henry Saunders | M | 0+ | The middle-aged, blowhard General Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. He is easily stressed, quick to lose his temper, and Maggie's father. | Maria | F | 0+ | Tito's fiery, passionate, and deeply jealous Italian wife. She walks out on him in a huff during a massive argument but eventually returns. | Maggie Saunders | F | 0+ | Saunders' quirky, star-struck daughter and Max's girlfriend.
