Prince Louis

Male character, late twenties to early thirties, with a naturally deep, resonant voice that reflects a personality both solemn, charming, and gentle.

The story is set in a fictional France, as a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

• In the first scene, Prince Louis, now in beast form, speaks to the princess, who has just discovered his nighttime transformation. His voice should take on a more beast-like, guttural quality, with a subtle growl. He addresses her with a tone that is both gentle and reproachful, as he had asked her not to wander into his quarters at night.

• In the second scene, the prince and princess argue after he dismisses one of her ladies-in-waiting . This argument serves as an outlet for deeper, underlying emotions, as the prince, a true skeptic of love, has held back his affection but can no longer hide his attraction.

• The third scene is a significant spoiler, but it’s key for understanding the emotional depth of the role: the prince, in beast form, mourns over the nearly lifeless body of the princess. Isadora, the witch who cast the curse on him, appears, and he begs her to save the princess.
