BOB CRATCHIT: Male, 30s or older. Bob is a good-natured and hard-working man, doing his best to stay positive while supporting a large family and working for a very difficult boss. Soloist--Vocal Range: C3-Gb4.

HARRY/EBENEZER: Male, 20s and up. Fred is the opposite of his uncle Scrooge— upbeat and optimistic, he celebrates his life, even though he’s not well off financially. Featured solos--Vocal Range: C3-G4.

MRS. CRATCHIT: Female, 30s and up. Bob Cratchit’s supportive wife and mother to their large brood. Featured solos--Vocal Range: A3-D5

TOM JENKINS: Male. Man who owes money to Scrooge.

JOLLYGOODE (COLLECTING MAN #1): Male. The Collecting Men are somewhat lovable fops who finish one another’s sentences and have their sales pitch down to a science. They make great harmonies together.

HARTY (COLLECTING MAN #2): Male. The Collecting Men are somewhat lovable fops who finish one another’s sentences and have their sales pitch down to a science. They make great harmonies together.

JACOB MARLEY: Male, 40s or older. The ghost of Jacob Marley shows the tragic end of a life lived like Scrooge’s. He deals in heavy emotions at all times— anger and anguish mostly. Soloist--Vocal Range: C#3-Eb4.

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST: Female, teens and up. The Ghost seems gentle and ethereal, but her questioning of Scrooge intentionally causes him to address memories he’d be happier to push aside. Soloist--Vocal Range: B3-F5.

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: Male, adult. Loud and boisterous, the Ghost lives in the moment but mixes his good nature with a serious understanding of the weight of time. Soloist--Vocal Range: Ab2-Gb4.

ISABEL: Female, late teens-early 20s. Belle is the girl of Young Ebenezer’s dreams, who falls for him but is strong and independent enough to walk away when he chooses work over her. Soloist--Vocal Range: B3-E5.
