Shrek: Our story’s title character. A big, green, terrifying ogre who lives alone on a swamp.

Gender: Male | Age: 25 to 45 | Vocal range top: G#4 | Vocal range bottom: A2
Princess Fiona: The beautiful princess of Far Far Away, she transforms into an ogre every night when the sun sets. Rescued by Shrek and eventually falls in love with him.

Donkey: A talking donkey who joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad’s guards. Quite the chatterbox, he is not deterred by Shrek’s looks and practically forces himself into his good graces. Easily frightened and pushy, but also an optimist with heart. Gender: Male | Age: 20 to 35 | Vocal range top: B4 | Vocal range bottom: C3
Lord Farquaad: The comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc. He is in search of a princess to marry so that he can become king. Has an intensely unfair bias against fairytale creatures that stems from a resentment of his father. Self-absorbed, lonely, and cruel. Doubles as GUARD in swamp and KNIGHT in “Forever.” Gender: Male | Age: 30 to 45 | Vocal range top: D5 | Vocal range bottom: B2
Dragon: A dragon that has been charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. She eventually falls in love with Donkey and attempts to keep him there forever. Imposing and flirtatious, but tired of her job as the glorified baby-sitter. Doubles as MAMA BEAR and DULOC PERFORMER. Gender: Female | Age: 25 to 45 | Vocal range top: Eb5 | Vocal range bottom: F3
Gingy: A gingerbread man initially kidnapped by Lord Farquaad. His wit and resolution help him both avoid trouble and inspire the rest of the fairytale creatures. Puppet. Doubles as WICKED WITCH and BLUEBIRD. Gender: Female | Age: 20 to 40 | Vocal range top: C#5 | Vocal range bottom: B3
Pinocchio: The leader of the fairytale creatures. He is an animated puppet whose nose grows every time he lies. Plenty of sass with a penchant for lying. Doubles as DULOC PERFORMER and KNIGHT in “Forever.” Gender: Male | Age: 20 to 40 | Vocal range top: F#4 | Vocal range bottom: E3
Wolf: Famous adversary of Little Red Riding Hood. Doubles as THELONIUS, DULOC PERFORMER, KNIGHT in “Forever,” BISHOP, GRUMPY DWARF. Gender: Male | Age: 20 to 40 | Vocal range top: F#4 | Vocal range bottom: E3

Evan Hansen: Smart, sincere, and excruciatingly self-conscious, Evan prefers to hover in the background, a supporting player in his own life, too afraid to step forward into the spotlight and risk ridicule or, what might be worse, no one noticing him at all. Gender: Male | Vocal range top: C5 | Vocal range bottom: G2
Heidi Hansen: Evan’s mother. Overworked and stretched too thin, Heidi loves her son fiercely, but fears they have begun to grow apart. She is prepared to do anything to repair the damage. Gender: Female | Vocal range top: Eb5 | Vocal range bottom: F3
Zoe Murphy: Sensitive and sophisticated, with a sharp sense of humor, Zoe could care less about the status games and popularity rites of high school. She feels a terrible ambivalence over her brother’s death. Gender: Female | Vocal range top: E5 | Vocal range bottom: F3
Connor Murphy: An angry, disaffected loner, Connor has been a troubled kid for as long as anyone can remember, an enigma and a source of endless consternation to his long-suffering parents. Gender: Male | Vocal range top: G#4 | Vocal range bottom: C3
Cynthia Murphy: Connor and Zoe’s mother. To Evan, she seems to be the perfect mother, nurturing, available, and willing to talk about anything. To her own children, it’s a bit more complicated. Gender: Female | Vocal range top: E5 | Vocal range bottom: F3
Larry Murphy: Connor and Zoe’s father. Though often tense and taciturn, Larry shows a different face to the world, representing for Evan the dad he always wished for: strong, confident, and more than anything, reliable, someone to be counted on. Gender: Male | Vocal range top: G4 | Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Jared Kleinman: Droll and sarcastic, Jared covers his own insecurities with a well-practiced swagger and a know-it-all arrogance. Gender: Male | Vocal range top: B4 | Vocal range bottom: D3
Alana Beck: Earnest to a fault, prone to melodrama, Alana hides a deeper loneliness beneath an ever-present smile and an almost aggressive friendliness. Gender: Female | Vocal range top: E5 | Vocal range bottom: F3
