OKLAHOMA! CHARACTER ROLE DESCRIPTIONS
CURLY McCLAIN – To play early 20s. Handsome, likeable cowboy. An idealist, full of hope for a future that includes Laurey. Legit full-bodied voice (Sustained F#).
LAUREY WILLIAMS – To play age 17-19. Lives on a farm with her Aunt Eller. Stubborn, yet sensitive, she is a dreamer who loves Curly, yet is unable to reveal this to him. Saucy yet legit light soprano (High F, possible high A)
AUNT ELLER - Age 45+. Strong pioneer woman. Her years have brought her an almost mystical connection with the land. Must move. Character alto (Low F).
ADO ANNIE – To play age 18-20. A young woman whose new-found attractiveness has left her both confused and uninhibited. Must move well – dance a plus. Comedic mezzo/alto (Sustained D, sings F)
WILL PARKER – To play early 20s. Cowboy who loves Ado Annie. A little slow on the uptake, he sees only what’s straight ahead of him. Strong dancing role – clogging a plus. Tenor or high baritone (Character, sustain high F)
JUD FRY - Age 30-40. Farmhand. His quiet and brooding surface hides an inner rage. Angry at the deal life has dealt him, he lashes out at those he dislikes. Ominous bass/baritone (C#)
ALI HAKIM - Age 30-50. Persian peddler who drifts from town to town, selling his wares and wooing the farmers’ daughters, always leaving before he gets caught. Comic role, non-singing.
GERTIE CUMMINGS - Age 18-24. Competes with Laurey for Curly’s attention. Has a rather distinctive laugh that both announces and defines her presence. A little of her goes a long way. Sings with ensemble.
ANDREW CARNES - Age 45+. Shotgun-toting protective father of Ado Annie. A farmer who would even let his daughter marry a peddler, as long as he comes up with the dowry. Tenor/high baritone (Sustained high F)
IKE SKIDMORE, CORD ELAM - Farmers, age 40+. Sing with ensemble.
DREAM LAUREY and DREAM CURLY- Dances for Laurey and Curly in the dream sequence. Also dance in ensemble. Strong classical dance training.
