CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
ALICE, SMALL ALICE, TALL ALICE
Alice, Small Alice and Tall Alice are differently sized versions of the same character .
Alice is a spunky girl who enjoys adventures. She should be charming to the audience
and be able to command the stage by herself. Sbe has the largest part in the show,
and she should be a strong singer and actor. Small Alice must also be a good singer
and actor while being comfortable as a big part of two dance numbers. Tall Alice
doesn't have any solos, but she needs to be a good actor with solid comic timing.
Featured Song: "Very Good Advice"
CATERPILLAR
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.
Featured Song: "Zip A Dee Doo Dah"
DODO BIRD
The Dodo Bird is the Captain of the Queen's Navy and needs to be a good actor and
singer. He is in command of the lobsters and other animals and is another of
Wonderland's vibrant characters.
Featured Song: "The Caucus Race"
DOORKNOB
The Doorknob is a wonderful additional role for a chorus member who is very funny.
The character is based somewhat on Jimmy Durante and this actor can have fun
playing with that idea.
Non-singing role
KING OF HEARTS
The King of Hearts is the often forgotten ruler of Wonderland. Highly comedic role.
Near the age, but perhaps slightly younger than the Queen
Non-singing role
MAD HATTER
The Mad Hatter is the life of the tea party and should be performed by someone who
enjoys acting larger than life. The actor needs to be comfortable being silly and has to
sing one song, although it is an easy song to "speak-sing" if necessary.
Featured Song: "The Unbirthday Song"
