Note: The following roles have already been cast:
SISTER MARY ROBERT: A postulant, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life. (Age: 16 to 25- Vocal range: F#3-A5)
SISTER MARY PATRICK: A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable. (Age: 35 to 50)
SISTER MARY LAZARUS: A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris's soul music. (Age: 50 to 70- Vocal range: F3-B4)
MONSIGNOR O’HARA: One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. (Age: 45 to 60- Vocal range: E3-G4)
EDDIE SOUTHER: The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years and dreams of being her hero. (Age: 25 to 35- Vocal range: Ab2-B4)
TJ: Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss. (Age: 16 to 30- Vocal range: Db3-Eb5)
JOEY: One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man. (Age: 30 to 40- Vocal range: Bb2-Eb5)
PABLO: One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish. (Age: 25 to 40- Vocal range: C4-F5)
MICHELLE: One of Deloris's back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. (Age: 20 to 30 - Vocal range: Bb3-F5)
TINA: One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little thick and naive. (Age: 20 to 30- Vocal range: Ab3-F5)
ERNIE: One of Curtis's thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant. (Age: 25 to 35)
