The Roles: Muriel

Muriel is another thirty-something character, rich and bored and more than a little bit ditsy. She becomes one of Lawrence's satisfied marks about five minutes into the show, and then she never quite goes away, because in her heart she just knows she can help. Gullible but sweet. She has two fun numbers, and she is all alto (all the way down to E in the bass clef). She is eventually paired up with Andre, so a touch of ballroomish dancing is called for.
