10 roles

The Family RalphieMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Vocal range = F#3 to D5. A bright, winsome, mischievous 5th grade boy... Not a smart-aleck or overly precocious, Ralphie's imagination drives several scenes. The actor playing this role carries several songs; he must be an excellent singer (high belt, unchanged voice) and confident stage presence.

RandyMale7-8 y.o.All ethnicities

Vocal range = F#3 to D5. Ralphie's younger brother, he is cute, lovable and a bit whiny. The actor playing this role must be a confident singer, a fluent reader and have a strong stage presence and a sense of humor.

FlickMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

One of Ralphie’s classmates and best buddies; Flick is the guinea pig in the flagpole licking experiment. Sings some solos, so should be a confident singer and comedic actor. *Unchanged voice.

SchwartzMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

One of Ralphie’s classmates and best buddies; Schwartz becomes the scapegoat when Ralphie utters an unmentionable word. Sings some solos, so should be a confident singer. *Unchanged voice.

Scut FarkusMale12-13 y.o.All ethnicities

A textbook example of a schoolyard bully, Scut is loud, obnoxious and intimidating. This truant is a year or two older than Ralphie and his friends, and wears a perpetual scowl under his coonskin cap. He always appears at the most inopportune time to harass his victims. *Prefer unchanged voice.

Grover DillMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Grover is Farkus's toady, and is always at his side. Younger and smaller than Farkus, Grover delights in being tethered to his "hero". His rapid-fire belly laughs, always heard with Farkus's threats, make them the scourge of the neighborhood. *Unchanged voice.

Esther JaneFemale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Mary BethFemale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Classmates.

NancyFemale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Kids EnsembleBoth genders7-17 y.o.All ethnicities
