Ralphie: age 10 to 12 to play 9, going on 10. His voice must be unchanged and must be on the short side. He must be a regular kid – cute but not handsome, winsome but not precious. Seeking a young kid who is comfortable on stage but real. Must be an excellent singer and able to carry a show.
Randy: age 10 to 12. Ralphie’s younger brother. Smaller than Ralphie; the cuter the better. Can be a bit awkward and offbeat; admires his big brother Ralphie, but won’t admit it. Seeking a young kid who is comfortable on stage but real.
Scut Farcus: age 12 to 16. A meanie – the bully; lean, taller than the other kids; there’s nothing about him you want to like. He’s that kid you always made sure to avoid in school. Gruff character voice. Actor must be 5 feet or shorter.
Ten ensemble singer/dancers: Boys and girls age 10 to 16. Must be strong singer and dancers able to learn music and pick up dance steps easily. Some speaking roles also available.
