What type of characters are
in this show? ·
Princess
Winnifred the Woebegon
is down-to-earth and without pretensions.
Unlike what you might expect from a princess,
Winnifred is just an ordinary, high spirited girl.
Having grown up in the swamps, she doesn’t
conduct herself in the formal way that others in the
castle do. It
is her natural, ingenuous quality that sets her
apart from the other Ladies of the kingdom and makes
Dauntless fall in love with her. This is a solo singing role. ·
Prince
Dauntless the Drab,
as his name implies, is kind of a sad-sack and
somewhat listless.
Although his overbearing mother controls his
life and he is an obedient son, he still has hopes
of someday finding a girl to marry of whom his
mother will approve.
Like Winnifred, he is honest and sincere.
She gives him confidence in himself and
within the course of the musical, we see him grow in
self-assurance until he is finally able to confront
his mother. This
is a solo singing role. ·
Queen
Aggravain,
as her name suggests, is extremely vain, believing
that her way of doing things is the only way.
She is devoted to her son, Dauntless, and has
no intention of ever allowing him to leave her or to
have another woman in his life.
She selfishly dominates everything that
happens in the castle, never considering the
feelings of others.
This is a solo singing role. ·
The
Silent King
has been brow-beaten by the Queen and is very
passive. He
has learned that it is easier just to let the Queen
have her own way than to fight her.
Because he has not been able to speak for so
long, he has learned to communicate through
pantomime, or gestures.
He loves his son and sympathizes with him but
realizes that he can do little to help him.
Despite his frustrations, he is extremely
good natured. This
is a non-singing role. ·
Lady
Larken
is a sweet girl but, perhaps because she is in love
but unable to marry, she tends to be oversensitive.
She is extremely frustrated that she can’t
marry Harry, but also extremely excited at the
opportunity to be Lady-in-Waiting to Princess
Winnifred. Of
all the Ladies, it is Larken who most hopes that
Winnifred will pass the test.
This is a solo singing role. ·
Sir
Harry
is a regular guy and, like Larken, is eager for
Dauntless to find a bride so that he and Larken can
marry. He
is brave and dedicated enough to venture on a
“perilous journey” in hopes of finding a genuine
princess whom the Queen will find suitable as a
bride for Dauntless.
This is a solo singing role. ·
The
Minstrel
and Jester are court entertainers and they have a great sense of joy in
what they do. They
sometimes serve as narrators and are assured in
their ability to tell the story with authority.
There is also something playful and
mischievous about them.
Either role may be played by a male or
female. These
are solo singing roles. ·
The
Wizard
is the Queen’s confidant, her only friend and
therefore the only person she can really talk to.
However, like everyone else in the kingdom,
is apprehensive of the Queen and would never have
the courage to contradict her.
This role may be played by a male or female.
This is a solo singing role. ·

These roles have solo lines and group
