5 roles
(Narrator): Charismatic storyteller with a dynamic speaking voice who can draw the audience into the world of the play. Non-singing.
High baritone or tenor to a high G. Good comic ability. He has a good heart, but it’s buried under a rough exterior.
Mezzo-soprano Low G to high Db. Good comic ability. She is more in charge then she would ever let anyone know. Warm but strong–willed, straight forward, no nonsense, likable, midwestern – a kind of every-mom.
Alto belter. She is Ralphie’s elementary school teacher. Great with comedy. Flexible voice who is comfortable singing both legit and contemporary Broadway. Great mover and a strong tapper.
The Santa Claus at Higbee's Department Store is ill-tempered, slightly inebriated and very unhappy with his job.
