Casting
Casting Note
An option to expand the cast exists, with a core foursome (2F, 2M) singing all the group numbers ("Dear Santa," "Naughty/Nice," "Canceling Christmas," "Trunk Song," "Winter Wondering," and "Part of Me") and added soloists tackling star turns, with all joining in the finale of "Part of Me."
Girl 1
Female
A soprano who can be legit and brassy. Her solos include a Liza/Judy/Barbra-worthy torch song ("Wish for a Daddy") and a gentle waltz ("Lullaby"). Approx. vocal range: Soprano with high mix belt.
Girl 2
Female
An alto who can play bright and dark. Her solos include a tap-happy Shirley Temple number ("Bring Mummy") and a German cabaret number worthy of Marlene Dietrich and Lotte Lenya ("The Ballad of the Easy Bake Oven"). Approx. vocal range: Alto/Second Soprano.
Boy 1
Male
A tenor with a light, vulnerable quality. His solos include a bossa nova for Brazilian boy at risk ("The Shadow of Corcovado") and a pop number for a gay kid ("The Only Thing I Want in the World"). Approx. vocal range: Lyric tenor.
Boy 2
Male
A baritone with a robust quality. His solos include a big number for a kid desperate for the spotlight in the Christmas play ("Showstopper") and a young folk-friendly troubadour ridding the world of troubles ("An Eleemosynary Christmas"). Approx. vocal range: Baritone.
