20 roles

Cruella De VilFemale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Cruella is the rich, fashion-forward antagonist of the story who harbors a penchant for puppy fur. Ruthless and impulsive, she should command the stage with dramatic flair and brassiness. Cast an actor who can sing – with a strong, authoritative presence – and who can move with a high, captivating energy. Vocal range top: C4 Vocal range bottom: Ab3

RogerMale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Roger, married to Anita, is the soft-spoken yet confident composer and owner of Pongo and Perdita. His relaxed form of leadership acts as a contrast to the frenetic Cruella. He should be a strong actor, singer, and mover with an adult bearing that sets him apart from the more immature puppies. Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: A#2

AnitaFemale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Anita, wife of Roger, is a sweet and nurturing painter whose kind disposition acts as a stark contrast to Cruella's cruelty. As she has only a single line to sing, cast an actor with strong acting skills who is comfortable portraying an adult. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: D4

Horace and JasperMale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Horace and Jasper, Cruella’s two henchmen for hire, provide the show’s comic relief à la Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy. Though they sing together often, look for actors with strong comedic timing who can excel at physical comedy. While not necessary, these two can speak with Cockney accents if you have actors that are capable and willing. Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: Ab3

Perdita and PongoBoth genders5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Perdita and Pongo, the puppies’ parents, have similar dispositions to their owners, Roger and Anita. These roles do not require solo singing, so focus on casting strong actors capable of projecting a more mature presence than their pups.

LuckyMale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Perdita and Pongo’s funny and spirited pups, can be cast from your larger puppy ensemble. Cast the group’s strongest actors that can project their solo lines articulately and are comfortable using their bodies to portray dogs. If you have a large pool of actors, feel free to cast other puppies as brothers and sisters to these four; just remember that the audience needs to see a far greater number of Dalmatians at the end of the show than at the beginning.

PatchFemale5-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Boxer NarratorBoth genders5-18 y.o.All ethnicities
