Character descriptions:
Note: We have provided audition cuts for each princess that you may use in lieu of preparing an open call audition. If you have a specific role in mind and would like to audition with the cut below, you are more than welcome!
Snow White
Audition Cut Option
Female
Brassy and self-assured. The leader of the princess pack who likes to be in control. Also has a loving, maternal instinct. Aspires to be perfect, but she soon realizes that being perfectly ‘you’ is more important. Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Cinderella
Audition Cut Option
Female
Perky, quirky, and impish. She’s always enthusiastic, especially when it comes to being a real life princess, but is about to discover that there’s more to being a princess than pretty gowns and shiny glass slippers. Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Sleeping Beauty
Audition Cut Option
Female
The perfect comic foil to Snow White. Always the flippant and unpredictable cut-up. She loves to dance (sometimes uncontrollably) and is a fantastic physical comedienne. She enjoys being perfectly and uniquely herself. Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Belle
Audition Cut Option
Female
A smart and witty bookworm from classic French lit who inexplicably speaks and sings with an American accent. She chats with inanimate objects, cleans up after her beast of a husband … and it’s slowly driving her insane. Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Hua Mulan
Audition Cut Option
Female
A legendary folk hero of Asian descent from the poem The Ballad of Mulan. She has a good-natured sense of humor while maintaining a respect for her culture. She is excited to come out onstage and, through her heartfelt story, reveal her true self. Actress should be Asian.
The Little Mermaid
Audition Cut Option
Female
Once innocent and obedient, she’s now rowdy and rebellious. Having regretfully given up her seemingly idyllic life under the sea, she copes with her new reality through inappropriate yet hilarious comedy. She is the life of the party! Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Pocahontas
Audition Cut Option
Female
Plucky, valiant. She has been homogenized by an entertainment industry willing to distort her true Native-American story just to sell cinema tickets. As she comically mocks her glammed up portrayal in Hollywood cartoons, she is on a journey to restore her authentic, historical self. Actress should be Native American.
The Princess Who Kissed The Frog
Audition Cut Option
Female
Having been left out of the kingdom for decades, this Black princess is here to claim her throne and celebrate inclusivity and diversity in fairy tales. Confident; clever with a turn of phrase, loves a funny pop culture reference. Wonderfully witty; joyous. Actress should be Black.
Rapunzel
Audition Cut Option
Female
American capitalism won’t turn this campy, Mel Brooksian songstress into a damsel in distress. Nein! Brunehildesque, strong, and fun-loving, she’s bent on getting her fair share from those who make bank off fairy tale princesses. Actress can be any race or ethnicity.
Princess Badroulbadour
Audition Cut Option
Female
Originally from the South-Asian-turned-Middle-Eastern Aladdin sagas, this sultan’s daughter has had enough of being secondary in her own tale. Misogyny begone! It’s a whole new world and this independent and puckish princess is taking her story back! Actress should be South-Asian or Middle Eastern.
Note: The roles of each princess must be played by actors of the listed ethnicity. Theatre in the Park will conduct as wide of a search as necessary to find the appropriate actress for each role. If the show is not able to be cast ethnically appropriate, the title will change.
