Character is a Black man in his 20s. Tenor. An extremely strong soul/R&B singer who is skilled in and comfortable with improv and ad lib. Think the vocal harmonies of 1980’s groups like Boyz II Men, Jodeci, New Edition etc. Experience with drumming and/or percussion is a big plus (note on submission). To understudy Knuck: (Lead) A young man who has grown up holding his own in Ali’s gritty Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, who Ali falls in love with. Although the world--including Ali's mother--insists on seeing him as a "thug," beneath his seemingly tough exterior is a sensitive and soulful young man with a gentle and generous spirit, who is growing increasingly frustrated with a world that insists on stereotyping him and treating him as a threat. Will also understudy RIQ & Q: Friends of Knuck’s, who grew up in Hell’s Kitchen and can hold their own in the neighborhood, and Ray: Ali’s doorman. A physically imposing presence, but a kind heart.
