Mary and I were discussing who we might ask to be Frida, and came to the conclusion that may be we should actually have 3 Frida's: a young inexperienced Frida, a late 20's early 30's Frida that would be a dancer, and an older "invalid" Frida that is an Artist. No names yet, but we have people in mind.
The second most important character is "La Pelona"(Lady Death), that lurks around Frida most of her life. That character would also be the narrator, and have the only speaking part. We have somebody in mind for that part too.
We also need Frida's sister Christina throughout the show, from childhood to death.
Other characters are Tina Modotti for the Tango scene, her father for the Family Picture Scene and the Polio Scene, Chavela Vargas.
I don't believe I want a live Diego in the show. As important as he was in Frida's life, a large puppet, real or projected, seems sufficient to me...
