3 roles
CARL PERKINS
Male18-56 y.o.All ethnicities
(TENOR, MUST PLAY GUITAR) Carl Perkins is working with Sam on a new record at Sun, hoping to recapture some of his fame as a founding father of rock and roll. He resents younger, up and coming musicians, including Jerry Lee Lewis. His song “Blue Suede Shoes,” that he wrote and recorded, was a bigger hit for Elvis than it was for him. Carl is worried that he won’t be remembered in history as one of rock and roll’s greatest musicians.

JOHNNY CASH
Male18-56 y.o.All ethnicities
(MALE, BARITONE/BASS, MUST PLAY GUITAR) Johnny Cash is visiting Sun Records to tell Sam that he won’t be renewing his contract with Sun. He wants to sign with a company who will let him sing more religious music, which is more satisfying and meaningful to him. Johnny clearly has a dark past, matched by his dark appearance. While he is friendly with the other musicians, he is the quietest of the rock and roll stars, and the most introspective.

ELVIS PRESLEY
Male18-56 y.o.All ethnicities
(TENOR/BARITONE, MUST PLAY GUITAR) Elvis arrives at Sun with his girlfriend Dyanne. Sam has already sold Elvis’ record contract to another company, recognizing his fame and leadership of the music genre. Elvis is already recognized as an international star, but his regularly humble demeanor has been even more illuminated by a recent flop of a show in Vegas.
