BOB CRATCHIT: HIGH BARITONE, long suffering, downtrodden, a different man with his children. His family is all to him. A good-hearted, caring fellow.
EBENEZER SCROOGE: (ROLE CAST) HIGH BARITONE Male, 60s, hates the world, frosty, miserly. Uncaring, love of money and little else. Disdainful. Also able to play high jollity and care. He slowly reveals the inner Scrooge as he understands what he has missing in his life. A man fighting with change.
FRED: HIGH BARITONE/TENOR, 20s, bright, cheery, caring. Undeterred by his Uncle Scrooge’s bad humor, he is determined to stay merry and playful to the last.
JACOB MARLEY: TENOR, 60s, wiry, gaunt, gloomy, haunted, a messenger of doom. Leaden and weighted down by the world.
CHRISTMAS PRESENT: WIDE RANGE BARITONE, tall, jolly, full of life, large voice with the spirit of Christmas surging through every vein. Embodiment of goodwill. All that is bright and cheerful follows him.
FEZZIWIG: TENOR, 50s, generous, fun-loving, rotund and jolly. Caring. The epitome of a good man. Playful.
CHRISTMAS FUTURE: Dark, foreboding, tall and malevolent.
CHRISTMAS PAST: MEZZO/ALTO quietly spoken, compassionate, thoughtful, and pensive. Their purpose is solely to open the eyes of Scrooge to family and friends.
MRS CRATCHIT: MEZZO SOPRANO Female, 30s, a strong woman with a heart of gold. She is loving and caring to her family and like a lioness in her protection of them. She can stand her ground, as she does to Scrooge.
MRS FEZZIWIG: SOPRANO, Late 40s, the mirror image of her husband in female form.
MRS DILBER: MEZZO SOPRANO, Late 40s, large, Scrooge’s housekeeper and laundress. Bold and brassy. Very low character.
