Cast Descriptions

Annie

Annie is a complex little girl. She is a tough, streetwise urchin who is nevertheless vulnerable when she thinks she might lose what has become most important to her: a newfound “family” who loves her. She also has a good understanding of subtext so she can act appropriately during the various scenes between Warbucks and Grace, and Miss Hannigan and Grace. Although she is at times aggressive or crafty, the audience should never doubt Annie is a friendly and caring child; she will go to any extent to gain the love of a family to which she can belong.
Gender: female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: A3
Orphans
Miss Hannigan
Grace Farrell
Rooster

Rooster and Lily are quite the team — “team” being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly. Rooster is flashy and self-assured. His “moves” should be as smooth as a gambler’s, as should be the message he sells in “Easy Street.”

Gender: male
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Lily

Rooster and Lily are quite the team — “team” being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly. Lily (airhead that she is) is always distracted, although she manages to pick up on any conversation involving money. She never acts as the leader, always bringing up the rear while tripping over her own feet (it is difficult to walk and check your makeup in a compact at the same time).

Gender: female
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: Bb3
Oliver Warbucks

Mr. Warbucks must appear middle-aged, self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, he soon finds himself completely charmed by her. He begins his transformation when he views “N.Y.C.” through Annie’s eyes and falls in love with the city again…and with her.

Moana JR Cast Descriptions

March 16, 2020

Moana JR Cast Descriptions:

Moana

The vibrant, tenacious, and optimistic daughter of Motunui’s chief. She struggles to reconcile her father’s plans for her to take over as the village chief with her own desires to voyage beyond the reef. Ultimately, Moana proves a compassionate and capable leader. Must be an actor who can portray great maturity, possesses incredible energy, a fun sense of humor, and can confidently deliver songs like “How Far I’ll Go.”
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Maui

A demigod and master wayfinder with charisma to spare and a reputation of being a trickster. Despite his hard exterior, Maui becomes a wonderful friend and mentor to Moana throughout their journey. Must be an actor with great comic timing who can portray this shapeshifter’s larger-than-life personality through big gestures and high energy, making moments like “You’re Welcome” true showstoppers.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: B3
Vocal range bottom: G2
Chief Ancestors (1-3)

Chief Ancestors (1-3) are the three ancient leaders of Motunui. They guide Moana on her quest and narrate her story through speaking and singing solos. These ancestors should be animated storytellers who have excellent diction.
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: G3
Gramma Tala

Moana’s wise grandmother and the mother of Chief Tui. She is the village storyteller known for being eccentric and dancing to the beat of her own drum. Must be a playful actor and singer who can balance comic timing in “Where You Are (Part 2)” with heartfelt sincerity in “Song of the Ancestors.”
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: G3
Chief Tui
Sina

Moana’s supportive mother. She is compassionate, perceptive, and strong-willed, and trusts her daughter to make the right decisions. With both speaking and singing solos, must be a confident singer and actor who can embody a mature and respected leader.

Gender: Female
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: C#4
Pua

Moana’s fiercely loyal friend. Pua always supports Moana – even if it means facing her own fears. Must be an actor who is also a confident singer who can make Pua’s moments in “Where You Are (Part 2),”“How Far I’ll Go,” and “We Know the Way (Finale)” stand out.

Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Hei Hei

Moana’s not-so-bright friend. Hei Hei is well- meaning, but naive. Must be an actor who can portray Hei Hei’s innocence and own both speaking and singing solos in “Where You Are (Part 2),”“How Far I’ll Go,” and “We Know the Way (Finale).”

Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Tamatoa

The vicious and egotistical giant crab who lives in Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters. Tamatoa enjoys gathering shiny baubles to add to an ever-growing collection. For this self-centered crab with a keen sense of showmanship, we will look for an actor who isn’t afraid to own the stage and really shine.
