Seeking:

Winnie: Age 11. A little girl without cuteness – she has lost her father. Too skeptical for her age, but has an unknown longing for romance and adventure. Must sing very well.

Jesse Tuck: Male, 17. Light and laughing, he is eternal youth writ large, the lightness shown all the brighter for the shadow of loneliness that he has. Pop tenor. Must sing very well.

Miles Tuck: Man, 23. Burned and bitter. His natural sweetness shut away. Lost his wife and child; doomed to live with regret. Baritenor. Must sing well.

Nana: 60. Loopy old woman, but a loving grandmother and mother. Must sing.

Man In Yellow Suit: 60s. Creepy and persuasive. A man with an obsession, a secret. Must sing.

Hugo: Male, 17. Painfully shy, awkward and goofy – but smart and eerily observant. His father (Constable Joe) knows this. The two of them have a “routine” that fools most of the people all of the time. Must sing well.

Ma Tuck: 40s. Simple woman made eccentric by the bizarre fate that has befallen her. A bit lonely, a bit angry, but an elemental maternal spirit. Must sing.

Pa Tuck: 40s. Simple man, confused and astounded by the bizarre fate that has befallen him. Tired in his soul, but full of wisdom and kindness. Must sing.

Mother: 40s. A young widow, made frightened and strict by tragedy and death. Over-solicitous mother. Must sing.

Constable Joe: 50s. Jolly fellow, hale and hearty. Few guess how shrewd and intelligent he is. Must sing.
