- – Female Presenting Character, Age: 25-35, Voice Part: Mezzo Soprano (F3 -F5), White/European. An ordinary girl from Brooklyn. An American songwriter/performer, Carole has been active from the 1960’s and regarded as the most successful female songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century. Throughout the show we see her transform from a shy teenager into the confident woman who takes the plunge into becoming one of the most successful female singers of all time.

Carole King’s first husband and song writing partner, writing lyrics to many of her early hits, such as “Some Kind of Wonderful,” “Take Good Care of My Baby,” and many others. Gerry proposes after Carole reveals she is pregnant with his baby, however, soon after begins having extramarital affairs with many other women due to an unhappiness in his early marriage, however he does care deeply for Carole. He’s a good guy, maybe a little brooding, who wants to do the right thing but gets lost along the way. Strong singer. Non-dancing role. *Has intimacy with Carole King.
- – Female Presenting Character, Age: 25-40, Voice Part: Mezzo Soprano (F3-E5), White/European. A lyricist working at the Brill Building, she and her song writing partner Barry Mann form a friendly rivalry with Carole and Gerry. She becomes one of Carole’s best friends and closest confidants and forms a flirtatious relationship with Barry though she is hesitant to start it, knowing how he is with other women in the past. She’s quick of tongue, high in spirit and goes after what she wants. Strong singing/acting role. Some movement skills required. *Has intimacy with Barry Mann.
- – Male Presenting Character, Age: 25-40, Voice Part: Tenor (C3-A4), White/European. A song writer working at the Brill building. Barry is full of energy, a bit of a flirt, and confident.

- – Female Presenting Character, Age: 40-60, White/European. Carole’s mother. A stereotypical mid-century mother who is brash and un-hip at points, but always steps up to the plate for her daughter.
