6 roles
A 5th grade boy who wants an Air Rifle for Christmas. He is bright, winsome, mischievous, cute. Not a smart-aleck or overly precocious, Ralphie's imagination drives several scenes. An excellent singer and fluent reader with mega-watt stage presence. Ralphie's dance is minimal.
Ralphie's younger brother, cute, cuddly, lovable and a little whiny. He looks up to his big brother, tries to keep up with him, and is young enough that he can be convinced to eat his dinner like a baby piggy! An excellent singer, a good dancer, a fluent reader and has strong stage presence.
Can play age 10. A classmate and best buddy of Ralphie's; Flick is the guinea pig in the flagpole licking experiment. Able to sustain and communicate with a serious lisp.
Can play age 9-10. A classmate and best buddy of Ralphie; Schwartz becomes the scapegoat when Ralphie utters an unmentionable word.
Can play age 12/13. A textbook example of a schoolyard bully, 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.
Plenty of fun ensemble roles available. A strong sense of musical theatre comedy is needed.
