PRINCIPALS
ELLA – is opinionated, charismatic, passionate, beautiful, funny, idealistic and hopeful. Always her late father’s daughter, she sees the good in everyone. We watch her blossom from a neglected offspring to a confident woman.
Vocal Range: Soprano B:Eb5.
TOPHER – A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important in his life. Charming, but not the stereotypical ladies man, he is thoughtful, appealing and innocent – with an unforced goofy streak. He is moral, genuine and kindhearted. He is at the crossroads and must take control of his kingdom.
Vocal Range: Bariton C#3-A4.
MADAME – Ella’s selfish step-mother, she is the epitome of vanity and fashion. She is a ravenous social climber who values wealth, status and material possessions above all else. She is unapologetically dismissive and sometimes cruel.
Vocal Range: Mezzo C4-D5.
SEBASTIAN – The kingdom’s Lord Chancellor. Though he is Topher’s trusted advisor, he is devious and selfish. Using propaganda and dishonesty, he keeps Topher isolated and in the dark about his kingdom. He rules without regard for the lower class, or anyone other than himself – and truly believes he deserves to rule the kingdom.
Vocal Range: Tenor C3-F4.
MARIE – A friend to Ella and the town’s resident crazy lady and beggar woman. Marie is actually a fairy godmother in disguise. Wise, warm, otherworldly and charming, she rewards Ella for her kindness by making Ella’s dreams a possibility.
Vocal Range: Soprano A3-Ab5.
GABRIELLE – Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Encouraged by her mother and sister to value material wealth and social status, she unenthusiastically joins the in their abrasive behavior. Quietly passionate, empathetic and witty, she is drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. She is ironically aware that she doesn’t fit in.
Vocal Range: Soprano C4-G5.
CHARLOTTE – Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Brash, self-centered, materialistic, snooty, loud, sassy and bratty, she has a ridiculously high, but unfounded opinion of herself. She never passes up an opportunity to be the center of attention.
Vocal Range: Mezzo (belt) B3-F5.
JEAN-MICHEL – A feisty, passionate peasant determined to make a change for the starving class. He is an impetuous firebrand but lacks authority and isn’t taken seriously as a revolutionary. He has a crush on Gabrielle, though their courtship is forbidden because they are from different social classes.
Vocal Range: Baritone C3-G4.
LORD PINKLETON – The Lord Chancellor’s right-hand man. He announces royal balls, banquets, and even the weather to the villagers.
Vocal Range: Tenor D3-A4
ENSEMBLE – The ensemble consists of singers, dancers, knights, townspeople, ladies and gentlemen of the courts, and servants.
Vocal Ranges: Ranges vary by character.
