Character Descriptions
Satine
Female, 30s, any ethnicity
Satine is a star. Beautiful, glamorous, sexy, commanding. Fully aware of her worth. Wicked sense of humor and smart...but beyond this, our heroine has a deep humanity. She has suffered and her wounds are very close to the skin. Heartbreaking. Must be an incredible singer. Belt.
Christian
Male, 20s-30s, any ethnicity
A handsome, young American. There’s a special intensity and drive behind his easy and natural charm. Not an ingénue, not entirely innocent. A man of quick passion, warm humor, and deep secrets. Must be an incredible singer. High tenor.
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec
Male, 30s-40s, any ethnicity
The famous French artist. He is a bold visionary and a tough-minded, anti-romantic romantic. A doomed genius. Extremely charismatic and fervently eloquent. Must be a strong singer.
Zidler
Male, 40s-60s, any ethnicity
The MC and Impresario of the Moulin Rouge. He seems almost a human caricature — too grand and showy. His manner is sly and insinuating. He’s knowing and wise, crafty and venal. All in all, irresistible. Must be a strong singer.
Duke
Male, 30s-40s, any ethnicity
A handsome, viral man. Dripping with wealth and power. Old French aristocracy, modern attitudes, and tastes. He carries real class and gravitas. Dangerously sexy. Must be an incredible singer. Tenor.
Santiago
Male, 30s, Latinx
Santiago is a comically dashing figure. He’s the greatest tango dancer in Paris — and the greatest gigolo. A ferocious, Argentinian swashbuckler, he lives for the extravagant torments of love. He’s wild, dangerous, and unpredictable — driven by his passionate emotions. A brilliant dancer. Must be an incredible singer. Tenor.
Nini
Female, 30s, any ethnicity
Lead dancer at the Moulin Rouge. Sharp, ambitious, sexy, and cunning. Has all the assets of a real star, except for warmth. Hard and gorgeous as a gemstone. Brilliant dancer. Must be a strong singer.
Baby Doll
Male, 20s-30s, any ethnicity
Dancer at the Moulin Rouge. Beautiful young drag artist. Plays the ingénue brilliantly, but genuinely sweet at heart. She has known suffering in her short life and sees Satine as the trusted, older sister she never had. Must be a high tenor with strong falsetto/mix.
La Chocolat
Female, 20s-30s, black
Moulin Rouge lead dancer. Sinuous, untouchable, superior, and imperious. Has seen it all. Do not — repeat — do not fuck with her. Belt.
Arabia
Female, 20s-30s, any ethnicity
Moulin Rouge lead dancer. Exotic. Been through a lot. Amy Winehouse-sense of glamourous decay. Belt.
Male and Female Dancers
20s-30s, any ethnicity
Seeking incredible dancers with strong, technical skills, style, and athleticism. Singing ability, a plus.
