Character Breakdown

The Queen:  Almost stereotypical storybook evil without being scary. Very greedy - all she cares about is having more gold.  Mother to King Henry.  Vocal part: Alto/Contralto

King Henry:  Whiner.  Never cleans his room…hen-pecked by his mother.  Vocal part: Baritone/Tenor

Miller’s Daughter:  Sweet, dreamer.  She has a vivid imagination and is an ambitious sort.  Lots of spirit.  Vocal part: Contralto/Mezzo soprano (sweet, story-book voice)

Rumple:  Could be either male or female.  Crafty, clever and sprightly.  Must move well (energetic and fun).  Ageless.  Works well with children and can respond to all the antics that kids offer.  Does not sing
