SEEKING
DOROTHY - CAST. 18+ to read younger, female identified, any race/ethnicity, Mezzo-Soprano. Dorothy has a sweet, innocent presence, which masks a brave and loyal streak. This role may require flying.
AUNT EM/GLINDA - 40s-50s, female identified, any race/ethnicity, Soprano. Aunt Em is a tough farmer who doesn't suffer fools. She loves her niece, but doesn't tolerate her nonsense. Glinda is the Good Witch of the North, a warm and welcome presence everywhere she goes. This role requires flying.
UNCLE HENRY/EMERALD CITY GUARD - 40s-50s, male identified, any race/ethnicity, Baritone or Tenor. Uncle Henry is a farmer who has a soft spot for Dorothy, but always sides with his wife when challenged. Emerald City Guard takes his job seriously and never wants to cross the Wizard.
HUNK/SCARECROW - 20s-40s, male identified, any race/ethnicity, Tenor. Hunk is a goofy farmhand who works for the Gales. The Scarecrow quickly befriends Dorothy on the road to Oz. He has more brains than he gives himself credit for. This role calls for an excellent dancer with good comedic instincts.
HICKORY/TIN MAN - 20s-40s, male identified, any race/ethnicity, Tenor. Hickory is a cranky, bossy farmhand who works for the Gales. The Tin Man befriends Dorothy on the road to Oz. He has more heart than he gives himself credit for. This role calls for a strong mover with good comedic instincts.
ZEKE/COWARDLY LION - 20s-40s, male identified, any race/ethnicity, Tenor. Zeke is a big-talking farmhand who works for the Gales. The Cowardly Lion befriends Dorothy on the road to Oz. He has more courage than he gives himself credit for. This role calls for a strong, physical comedian who sings and moves very well.
MISS GULCH/WICKED WITCH - 30s-50s, female identified, any race/ethnicity, Mezzo-Soprano. Miss Gulch lives nearby the Gale family's farm. She's got a mean streak and friends in high places.

PROFESSOR MARVEL/WIZARD - CAST. 50s-60s, male identified, any race/ethnicity, any vocal part. Professor Marvel is a charlatan who encounters Dorothy when she runs away.
