Casting
Honey Snodgrass
Female - 20-26
Lovely soprano. Bouncy ingénue whose optimism is constantly challenged; strong-willed but fragile inside; a mix of Mary Martin, Shirley Jones, and Julie Andrews.
Melanie Fong
Female - 20-26
Alto soubrette. Adorable and brash. A cross between Ado Annie and Linda Low (Flower Drum Song). All-American Asian with a strong Midwestern accent.
Sir William Littlewood
Male - 40-55
Booming baritone voice. Ostensibly a handsome, older Englishman, but talks with a heavy Italian accent and sings like Ezio Pinza or Pavarotti.
Sandy Shore
Female - 25-35
Tenor/Baritone. Alternatively straight-laced and goofy official; a cross between Lieutenant Cable and Will Parker. Like the young Jim Carrey or Tom Hanks.
Essie Norton / Eskimo Annie
Female - 40-55
Hilarious character actress with rangy contralto voice. Doubles as Nettie Fowler and Bloody Mary type characters.
Nanook
Male - 30-60
Confucius-like philosopher; authoritatively speaks in rhyme couplets in a pose like King of Siam. Doubles in the Ensemble.
Ensemble
Male & Female
4 ensemble members (2 male, 2 female)
