knows this; the two of them have a routine that fools
most of the people all of the time. Tenor.*

homespun wisdom is leavened by her humor and
still girlish delight. Jesse and Miles’ mother. Mezzo-
Soprano.
Angus Tuck- a fond if forgetful husband, but a true
soul with a deep well of love and profound
understanding of the life around him. Tenor.
Miles Tuck- a burned and bitter man; his natural
sweetness shut away; lost his wife and child,
doomed to live with regret; Baritenor.
Jesse Tuck- 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. Tenor. *
