CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

MARVIN 

STAGE AGE: 30-40 VOCAL RANGE: C3-B 4 

PRESENTING GENDER: MALE 

Marvin is a middle-aged Jewish gay man living in the 1970/1980s New York 

City. He used to be married to Trina and the couple have a son, Jason. Marvin 

left his wife because he is gay, but is still a part of Trina and Jason’s lives as he 

tries to balance being a family man with his relationship with his boyfriend 

Whizzer. He is a man who wants to have it all. Despite divorcing his wife and 

getting involved with a man, he still insists on being a part of Trina’s life, even 

after she remarries. 

WHIZZER 

STAGE AGE: 30’S VOCAL RANGE: E3-C5 

PRESENTING GENDER: MALE 

Whizzer is Marvin’s new boyfriend, whom he leaves Trina to be with. He is 

handsome and suave, and he knows it and could be described as a trophy 

boyfriend, sitting at home doing the chores while Marvin is out working. 

Whizzer develops a strong bond to Marvin’s son, Jason, who likes Whizzer a lot 

and enjoys spending time with him. He likes to look like he has it all together, 

but there is a lot more to him than meets the eye. 

TRINA 

STAGE AGE: 30-40 VOCAL RANGE: B3-E5 

PRESENTING GENDER: FEMALE 

Trina is Jason’s mother, and the former wife of Marvin. Marvin left Trina to be 

with Whizzer, which leaves her emotionally vulnerable and broken. Trina is a 

captivating character, we see her both at her best and at her worst as she 

attempts to gain control of the curveballs life has thrown at her. She is a 

woman that is self-described as someone who holds to the ground as the 

ground keeps shifting. 

MENDEL 

STAGE AGE: 30-40 VOCAL RANGE: C3-B4 

PRESENTING GENDER: MALE 

Mendel Weisenbachfeld is Marvin’s psychiatrist. He hates his job and is terrible 

at it. He also begins to see Trina to help her and falls in love with her (again, 

terrible at his job) which naturally makes Marvin mad. While he may be a 

questionable psychiatrist, he does have a very genuine way of connecting 

with Jason and levelling with him when it comes to Jason spiraling about his 

broken family. 

JASON 

STAGE AGE: 11-13 VOCAL RANGE: G3-D5 

PRESENTING GENDER: MALE 

Marvin and Trina’s son, who, throughout the course of the show, goes from being 11 

to turning 13 and having his Bar Mitzvah. In a lot of ways, Jason is the heart of this 

show. He is a boy who needs his father to guide him toward manhood, and yet fears 

becoming who his father is. It is his coming-of-age story and his story of slowly 

accepting that his family is not that of social norm. 

PARENTS: Please be advised that while Jason is a child role, 

‘Falsettos’ does contain coarse language and adult themes, so please ensure you do your research and do not hesitate to contact us! We will happily answer any questions you may have. 

PLEASE NOTE: The creative team is open to seeing any and all performers who feel they can portray Jason at auditions. Please do not feel that you ‘should not’ audition due to your race, gender identity, etc. 

CHARLOTTE 

STAGE AGE: 30’S VOCAL RANGE: F3-F5 

PRESENTING GENDER: FEMALE 

Charlotte is a doctor, and Cordelia’s girlfriend. They are the self-described 

‘Lesbians from next door’ as they are Marvin’s neighbors. Charlotte tries to 

be a cheerful person, but her job as a doctor during the HIV/AIDS crisis emerging leaves her on edge. 

PLEASE NOTE: The Lesbians from Next Door only feature in Act 2. 

CORDELIA 

STAGE AGE: 30-40 VOCAL RANGE: A3-E5 

PRESENTING GENDER: FEMALE 

Cordelia is a kosher caterer, and Charlotte’s girlfriend. They are the self- 

described ‘lesbians from next door’ as they are Marvin’s neighbors. Cordelia 

is quite a cheerful person and she always seems excited when she can 

share the food she cooks with other people. 

PLEASE NOTE: The Lesbians from Next Door only feature in Act 2.
