Audition songs
Mark Cohen​ : A struggling Jewish-American documentary filmmaker and the ​narrator​ of the show.
He is Roger's roommate; at the start of the show, he was recently dumped by Maureen.
Audition song :​ La Vie Boheme
Roger Davis​ : A once-successful-but-now-struggling musician and ex-lead singer and rock guitarist
who is HIV-positive and an ex-junkie. He hopes to write one last meaningful song before he dies. He
is having a hard time coping with the fact that he, along with many others around him, knows that he
is going to die. His girlfriend, April, killed herself after finding out that she was HIV-positive. He is
roommates with Mark.
Audition song :​ One Song Glory
Mimi Márquez​ : A Hispanic-American club dancer and drug addict. She lives downstairs from Mark
and Roger, is Roger's love interest, and, like him, has HIV. She is also Benny's ex-lover.
Audition song :​ Out Tonight
Tom Collins​ : An ​anarchist​ professor with AIDS. He is described by Mark as a "computer genius,
teacher, and vagabond anarchist who ran naked through the ​Parthenon​." Collins dreams of opening
a restaurant in Santa Fe, where the problems in New York will not affect him and his friends. He was
formerly a roommate of Roger, Mark, Benny, and Maureen, then just Roger and Mark, until he
moves out.
Audition song : ​I’ll Cover you reprise.

Angel Dumott Schunard​ : A young transgender woman/drag queen who uses both she/her and
he/him pronouns. Angel is a street percussionist with a generous disposition, who has AIDS; Collins'
love interest.
Audition Song:​ Today 4 U
Maureen Johnson​ : A ​performance artist​ who is Mark's ex-girlfriend and Joanne's current girlfriend.
She is very flirtatious and cheated on Mark (presumably with Joanne). Larson considered Maureen a
lesbian, despite her relationships with men, and he specifically identified her as "lesbian" in the script
itself. However, an old lesbian friend of Larson told him it was wrong to call Maureen a lesbian
because of her attraction to men, and that is where the idea of her being a bisexual started.
Audition song :​ Over the Moon
Joanne Jefferson​ : An Ivy League-educated public interest ​lawyer​ and a ​lesbian​. Joanne is the
woman for whom Maureen left Mark. Joanne has very politically powerful parents (one is undergoing
confirmation to be a judge, the other is a government official).
Audition song :​ We’re Okay
Ensemble
Audition song : ​Seasons of Love
