Roxane is not in Act 1 (right?). If you’d like, I’d be happy to do a couple of short parts with a voice different from her. Totally up to you though since I had a big part!

I don’t see why not. Go for it!

You may. Thank you!

I can do 7th Cadet for you, since I was only in Act 1 on a bit part.

(Also, I believe my husband might like to do 1st Marquis. One of us will verify that for you tonight.)

Yes, I will do the 1st Marquis.

Thank you to both of you!

Lynette, when you read the 7th Cadet, be aware that there are quite a few lines in Act 4 that are given to unnumbered cadets. It would be helpful if you read as many of those as you think appropriate, and I will sort out which ones are actually needed when I assemble the act. Thanks!

Mike

Here are the Meddler and the Second Comedienne. I've also read a bunch of "crowd" or "all" lines and a few vaguely attributed lines ("another voice," "a falsetto voice, "a voice backstage..." in both files, including some crowd remarks made while the Comedienne would have been backstage and after the Meddler would have left. I hope that some bits will be useful--I know it's a lot to sort through.

Meddler, 8:35 (Meddler's own lines begin at 4:43)

2nd Comedienne, 5:01 (Comedienne's own lines begin at 4:35)

(This has also left me thinking in indifferent verse about what I wish someone in the crowd had said to Cyrano...)

Hi Joanna,
The Meddler and Second Comedienne are PL Okay; I'm sure Mike will be able to use your other voices.

Thanks,
Lora

Oh, boy! That'll be "fun" for you to sort out all the Cadet/all occurrences.

But I tried to give you lots of pieces to work with.

Cadet 7:

Act 2 - https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/cyranodebergerac_cadet7_2.mp3 (1:28)

Act 4 - https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/cyranodebergerac_cadet7_4.mp3 (4:24)

Thanks, Lynette, the 7th Cadet, Acts 2 and 4 is PL Okay.

Hi Mike!

Can I claim the following in Act 1:

Boy

A Musketeer

I think those two are in different sections of Act 1 according to your list, but let me know if those choice don’t work.
