ALICE IN WONDERLAND CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
ALICE
SMALL ALICE
TALL ALICE
Alice, Small Alice and Tall Alice are differently sized
versions of the same character. She is a spunky girl
who enjoys adventures and is on a journey of self-
discovery. You should be charming to the audience,
very inquisitive and be able to command the stage
by yourself.
Vocal Range
B3 - E6
CHESHIRE CATS 1, 2 & 3
The Cheshire Cat is played by three separate actors
who play the head, the body, and the tail of the cat.
The Cheshire Cat serves as the Narrator for the story
and the actors who are cast need to be able to speak
clearly and be good storytellers. The strongest of
singing skills are not a must, but comic timing is, as
these three comprise a very funny character. Also
these performers must work well as a team.
Vocal Range
C4 - E5
THE WHITE RABBIT
The White Rabbit is an energetic, worrisome
character that hardly ever stops moving. Even
though the White Rabbit has a solo we are looking
to find the person who can continuously exude a lot
of energy and rapid-fire change of focus.
TWEEDLE DEE
TWEEDLE DUM
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are a pair of
goofballs similar to old comedy teams like Abbott &
Costello or Laurel & Hardy. We are looking for
performers who are good singers and actors and
work well as a team.
Vocal Range
C5 - E6
MATHILDA
Mathilda is Alice's older sister and a non-singing role.
She should be a strong actor who can speak loudly
and clearly.
ROSE
PETUNIA
LILY
VIOLET
DAISY
FLOWERS ENSEMBLE
The Flowers (Rose, Petunia, Lily, Violet, Daisy,
Ensemble) are the snooty, mean girls who think they
are the most important people in the whole world.
We are looking for good performers and singers who
can handle harmonies.
Vocal Range
B3 - C6

ALICE IN WONDERLAND CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

ALICE

SMALL ALICE

TALL ALICE

Alice, Small Alice and Tall Alice are differently sized versions of the same character. She is a spunky girl who enjoys adventures and is on a journey of self- discovery. You should be charming to the audience, very inquisitive and be able to command the stage by yourself. Vocal Range B3 - E CHESHIRE CATS 1, 2 & 3 The Cheshire Cat is played by three separate actors who play the head, the body, and the tail of the cat. The Cheshire Cat serves as the Narrator for the story and the actors who are cast need to be able to speak clearly and be good storytellers. The strongest of singing skills are not a must, but comic timing is, as these three comprise a very funny character. Also these performers must work well as a team. Vocal Range C4 - E THE WHITE RABBIT The White Rabbit is an energetic, worrisome character that hardly ever stops moving. Even though the White Rabbit has a solo – we are looking to find the person who can continuously exude a lot of energy and rapid-fire change of focus. TWEEDLE DEE TWEEDLE DUM Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are a pair of goofballs similar to old comedy teams like Abbott & Costello or Laurel & Hardy. We are looking for performers who are good singers and actors and work well as a team. Vocal Range C5 - E MATHILDA Mathilda is Alice's older sister and a non-singing role.

CATERPILLAR

CATERPILLAR ENSEMBLE

Caterpillar, part sensei, part diva, the Caterpillar is comprised of five actors who play the head, body and all those hands, which move in synchronized gestures to help emphasize a point. The Caterpillar is one cool character who needs to be able to sing, dance, and act well. He provides the heart for the story and really convinces Alice to be herself. Vocal Range A3 - C MAD HATTER The Mad Hatter is the life of the tea party and should be performed by someone who enjoys acting larger than life. You need to be comfortable being silly and creative with facial expressions and vocal musicality. Vocal Range B5 - B MARCH HARE The March Hare is the counterpart to the Mad Hatter and also enjoys a good party. A little less crazy than the Mad Hatter, the March Hare is a happy fun character who enjoys playing. Vocal Range B5 - B QUEEN OF HEARTS The Queen of Hearts is the big mean bully of the story. We are looking for an performer who has a full resonant voice and is able to follow music well. The Queen of Hearts must have a commanding presence and should be a little scary, but funny at the same time. Vocal Range C4 - C KING OF HEARTS The King of Hearts is the often forgotten ruler of Wonderland. You need to have a good actor for this role who can handle some very high-level vocabulary. DOOR KNOB The Doorknob is a wonderful additional role for a chorus member who is very funny. The character is based somewhat on Jimmy Durante, but do not feel locked into that portrayal.
