A role just right for a smaller, younger performer who is new to the stage. He may not have lines but he is very important to the storytelling.

The wooden boy who cannot tell a lie without being belied by his growing nose. Pinocchio begins in a sour mood about his second-class status but ends the story as a natural leader among the Fairy Tale Creatures. Cast a young performer with a lot of personality who can sing well.

A great cameo role for a young performer who is as earnest as can be. Gingy is based on the Gingerbread Man who runs away like a fugitive from his baking captors. Find a performer with great energy.

The Dragon's background singers who all tried at some point to save Fiona from her tower but were held hostage by the Dragon. Cast young performers who can sing well and have some soul just like the Dragon.

Farquaad's comparably short and grumpy father. This is a perfect cameo role for a young performer.

The Fairy Tale Creatures make up the heart of the show. These characters are taken from the story books but have a bit of a comedic twist.
