WHO'S WHO?
The main character,Ā Alice, is 11 and completely marvellous. This is a soprano role.
The mezzo soprano playing the role ofĀ Alice's MotherĀ also plays theĀ Mad Hatter. They share certain characteristics such as being highly strung. Alice's mother is a frustrated romantic.
Alice's FatherĀ is also theĀ Queen of HeartsĀ played by a tenor. The Queen of Hearts is extremely fierce but possibly, beneath, she is just misunderstood....
Alice's two gluttonousĀ siblingsĀ are voracious and evil. They are alsoĀ TweedledumĀ andĀ TweedledeeĀ who can be palliated with food offerings. These roles require a soprano and mezzo soprano.
TheĀ White RabbitĀ is a lapin superstar undertaken by a baritone singer.
BottleĀ is a singer and purveyor of dodgy liquids - and a bit of a prima donna. Requires a soprano.
The role of theĀ DormouseĀ who is very tired and often found in the environs of tea is played by a soprano.
Cheshire CatĀ played by a countertenor is a sarcastic cat, he comes and goes as he pleases. He can be catty or feline, depending on his mood but don't be fooled by that smile.
CaterpillarĀ is a dreamer of dreams and smoker of things. This role requires a bass/baritone voice.
Humpty DumptyĀ is a pompous egghead and played by the same singer as theĀ DuchessĀ who is mad, very forgetful and highly romantic. This is a soprano role.
The baritoneĀ March HareĀ is a hare with depressive tendencies. The same singer plays theĀ White Knight, a chivalrous idealist with limited practical use.
