Character breakdown / Project needs
ELLA (Cinderella) (Female, Soprano)
Kindhearted beauty with an infectious generosity of spirit. Though she has been flying under the radar she comes fully into herself as an articulate dynamic woman with a great deal to say. Traditional musical theatre soprano.
TOPHER (Male, Baritone)
The prince of the kingdom leads with heroic bravado but he is in search of his purpose, deeply naïve, and not always quick on the draw. His kindhearted nature spills into an endearing goofiness at times. A light comedic touch is essential. Soaring, rich musical theatre baritone to G.
MADAME (Female, Mezzo-Soprano)
Ella’s selfish stepmother. A vain and tyrannical climber. Deeply concerned with status and image and entirely dismissive of her stepdaughter. Comic timing is essential. Traditional musical theatre character voice.
GABRIELLE (Female, Mezzo-Soprano)
Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Begins aligned with her materialistic mother and sister but her kindness and thoughtful nature emerge as she is affected by Ella and love interest John-Michel. Perhaps a bit quirky and cut from a different mold than the social climbers around her. Comic timing is essential. Strong and expressive traditional musical theatre voice.
CHARLOTTE (Female, Mezzo-Soprano)
Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Deeply self-involved, attention seeker. Loud, brash and delights in being cocky. Lacks self-awareness and often the last one in on the joke. Excellent comic timing is required. Traditional musical theatre character belt to F.
MARIE (Female, Soprano)
First presents as a bag lady but is revealed as Ella’s fairy godmother in disguise. Warm with a spark of wackiness she lifts the magic in the show and highlights what is possible! Soaring traditional musical theatre soprano to G.
JEAN MICHEL (Male)
An enthusiastic revolutionary determined to make a difference. Energized and on his way to becoming a leader. Great comic timing. Traditional musical theatre voice.
SEBASTIAN (Male)
Topher’s Lord Chancellor. He actively shields the Prince from what is occurring in his kingdom and revels in maintaining his own power. Disregarding villagers in need, he is primarily concerned with preserving the wealthy and the reach of his power. Fantastic comic timing essential. Traditional musical theatre character voice.
LORD PINKELTON (Male, Tenor)
Sebastian’s second-in-command and the herald for all balls and events. Announces royal balls, banquets and even the weather. Excellent comic timing is essential. Traditional musical theatre tenor.
Ensemble
Footmen, Coachmen, Forest Creatures, Peasants, Lords & Ladies, Knights & Pages, Townspeople & Servants
