6 roles
Soprano Though no one notices her beneath her rags and quiet demeanor, she is opinionated, charismatic, passionate, and funny. Idealistic and hopeful, she courageously challenges the prince to change the policies of his kingdom, and helps him discover who he truly is. Always her late father’s daughter, she is determined to see the good in everyone despite her hardships and suffering.
Baritone/Baritenor A prince who is searching for his purpose in life and displays heroic bravado, but who is deeply naïve and not quick on the draw. His kindhearted nature causes him to be endearingly goofy at times. A light comedic touch is essential, as well as a rich musical theatre voice.
Soprano Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Encouraged by her mother and sister to value material wealth and social status, she unenthusiastically joins them in their abrasive behavior. Quietly passionate, empathetic, and witty, she is drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. Ironically aware that she doesn’t fit in.
Mezzo-soprano Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Brash, self centered, materialistic, snooty, loud, sassy, and bratty, she has a ridiculously high, but unfounded opinion of herself. She never passes up an opportunity to be the center of attention.
Seeking strong singers, dancers and actors with great comedic timing and skill to play a range of ensemble roles including knights, villagers, Ball guests, animals, et al.
