CHARACTER PROFILES
THE BAKER
An average working man. Warm-hearted and determined, but insecure, and has never faced his fears.
THE BAKER'S WIFE
Determined and bright. A romantic at heart, but materialistic at times.
THE WITCH
Outwardly: self-serving, possessive, sarcastic, vain, charismatic. Inwardly: insecure and lonely.
RAPUNZEL
A loopy, but lovely maiden who is completely and utterly innocent of worldly matters and drifts through life.
CINDERELLA
Earnest, pretty, warm-hearted, kind, and trying to find her place in the world. A survivor.
CINDERELLA'S STEPMOTHER
Mean spirited, greedy and demanding. Superb character actress.
LUCINDA & FLORINDA
Cinderella's stepsisters, lovely but black of heart. Loud, energetic.
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Vain, gorgeous, self-dramatizing and endlessly confident. A hero in his own life's story.
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Just as vain, gorgeous as his older brother (Cinderella's Prince), although not as tall. Strives endlessly to beat his brother in all things.
JACK
The feckless Giant Killer, almost a man. Eager to please and very impulsive. A little slow of learning, and misled by his lack of self-knowledge.
JACK'S MOTHER
A single mother and a fighter, working hard and determined to make a good life for her hapless son.
MILKY WHITE
A sad, sickly cow owned by Jack.
THE WOLF
Hungry and insatiable. Seductive and sexy.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
A spoiled, clever, vain, smart alec. Seeks approval in place of love, of which she has had none.
THE MYSTERIOUS MAN
A mischievous vagrant with a secret.
THE NARRATOR
Intellectual and pleasant. A great storyteller who relates directly with the audience.
THE STEWARD
Surly and bureaucratic, full of self-importance.
CINDERELLA'S FATHER
A drinker, out of touch with his family but harmless and well-meaning.
CINDERELLA'S MOTHER
Nurturing and loving. A spirit, who dispenses useful advice.
GRANNY
Bitter and vindictive, she is Little Red's feisty, savage, knife-weilding grandmother. No solo singing, but plenty of humor. Will double as Florinda.
GIANT
Loud, angry giant - searching for revenge.
