4 roles
Winnie Foster is an 11-year-old girl in Treegap, New Hampshire. Her father died less than a year previously, and her mother, though loving, is very strict. She is not allowed to leave her front yard. Winnie is, for the most part, a very obedient girl--that is, until she runs away to visit the fair and embarks upon the adventure of a lifetime. When she meets Jesse Tuck, he opens up a magical world of possibility that she never knew existed.
Jesse is the most optimistic of the Tucks. He was only seventeen when he drank from the spring and has managed to retain his youthful spirit and lightness. When he meets Winnie, he is delighted to have finally found a “partner in crime” and the two of them immediately become fast friends. Of all his family members, he’s the only one who enjoys immortality, even though it makes him lonely. Audition Song: “Top of the World”
Hugo is a fifteen-year-old in Treegap, who often helps Constable Joe with cases. He’s very shy but extremely observant, and is much smarter than he seems. Constable Joe (who is also his father) often uses his ideas and insight in finding Winnie Foster. Hugo’s very lovable, and eventually he goes on to marry Winnie when they are both grown. He and his father are both very suspicious of the Man in the Yellow Suit.
