Playful, but with a soulful core. He begins the show as a devil-may-care young man, a bit of a clown and playboy, secure in his privileged identity as a prince of Egypt. But after his devastating discovery that he was born a slave, he grows into the strong and compassionate leader of the Hebrew people. A high tenor (sings up to Bb) with a thrilling voice and large range. Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: Bb2
A prince of Egypt, heir to the throne, who ages throughout the show. He loves his brother Moses, but is also quite competitive with him, since Moses’s winning personality continually puts him in the shade. His father expects a great deal from him as the future Pharaoh, and Ramses is wracked by self-doubt. Through trials of great pain over the course of the show. A strong tenor (sings up to G#), but with a well-developed lower range. Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Moses’s Hebrew sister. Good singing voice. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: G3
Regal, wise, deeply loving. She always wanted another son after Ramses was born, and believes Moses was a gift from the gods.

Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Tenor or high baritone. Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: B2
