10 roles
A bright 5th grade boy. 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.
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 strong stage presence and a sense of humor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An additional 4-6 students who will also be in Ralphie's class, will be featured in several major scenes and songs. Kids should be strong singers who can hold harmonies and present their own stage personality. Some will need tap dance experience.
