13 roles
(Female Presenting - Soprano). Laurey has an innocent yet knowledgeable air about her. She lives with her Aunt Eller on a ranch. She is in love with Curly, though she stubbornly may not admit it.
(Male Presenting - Baritone) Curly has a confident swagger and deserves it. He is in love with Laurey but is playing games instead of admitting it. He's a cowboy, and the romantic lead.
(Female Presenting - Mezzo) Aunt Eller acts as the town's aunt, a fun-loving and sarcastic caretaker. She watches over the town and her ranch with Laurey, her niece, and a hired hand named Jud. She sees the good in everyone.
(Male Presenting - Tenor) Will is a cowboy that is skilled enough to compete in rodeos. He is interested in Ado Annie Carnes but isn't the brightest. This is a dancing role. Being able to do rope tricks is a plus.
(Male Presenting - Baritone) Jud is described as dark and growly by others. Jud takes care of the ranch Laurey and Aunt Eller live on. He does not fit in with the society he lives with and is seen by most as an outsider. He is misunderstood and this makes him a troubled character. He has feelings for Laurey.
(Female Presenting - Soprano) Ado Annie is Andrew Carnes' daughter and she "can't say no" to anyone. She wants everyone to be happy. Her heart is always in the right place, but she isn't always the best judge of character. A comic, romantic lead that is wooed by Ali Hakim, but deep down she feels a connection to Will Parker.
(Male Presenting) Ali is a traveling peddler that says he is from Persia (modern day Iran), though we aren't sure how much of what he says we can believe. He is an outsider to the community, like Jud, but he is not feared by most. He likes pretty things and women. He pursues Ado Annie and Gertie Cummings.
(Female Presenting - Soprano or Alto) Gertie is from the next town over, has her eyes on Curly, and isn't waiting around for Laurey to say no to him. She has a unique laugh. Gertie is a featured ensemble role and requires strong dance skills.
(Male Presenting - Tenor) Andrew is very protective of his daughter, Ado Annie. He doesn't want Will Parker to marry her because he believes the cowboy's life to be risky and unreliable. To prove this isn't true, he asks Will to maintain $50 to have his daughter's hand in marriage. He is a rancher and doesn't feel very kind to cowboys in general.
(Male Presenting - Dancer) Dance Curly must be able to dance a ballet and should resemble Curly in Laurey's dream ballet. May be doubled as another character in the ensemble.
(Female Presenting - Dancer) Dance Laurey must be able to dance a ballet and should resemble Laurey in Laurey's dream ballet. May be doubled as another character in the ensemble.
