We are currently in rehearsals for The Little Mermaid. Weirdly, Chef Louis is more of a one and done, sort of walk on role. Character-wise, he is less masculine than he is just FRENCH. After looking at the script I think it would be plausible to double cast Chef Louis with any of the following characters: Scuttle, Flounder (depending on how old your Flounder is), Triton, Flotsam/Jetsam, Pilot.
Ultimately, I think putting a mustache on any actor or actress and letting them go wild with comedy wouldn't be a bad option either.

We are starting auditions today for The Little Mermaid. We really struggle with getting guys to audition. Does anyone have experience casting Chef Louis as a female in the full production? Does it work vocally? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
