For those familiar with the original and the revival, we are going in the direction of the original. She should have a round face/layer of baby fat and on the boxy side. A typical teenage girl going through her awkward phase.

CINDERELLA’S MOTHER/GRANNY/GIANT: Age 45-55. (Sop, G3-F5). Note: The voice of the Giant MIGHT be voiced over by a celebrity and not a part of this track. Seeking an extremely versatile actress. Cinderella's Mother must be angelic, ethereal, mysterious, beautiful and have a gorgeous soprano voice.

He's constantly changing costumes and running all over the place. It's a very active part. Seeking a character actor that is wonderful with both comedy and drama. He is the Baker's father that was presumed dead, but really ran away from his family and problems and now trying to make things right.

JACK: Age 18-25. (Tenor, A2-G4). Caucasian. Jack is the ultimate sheltered, naive, wide-eyed innocent “child”. His mother clings to him and is desperate to keep him a child, but he is clearly no longer a child. Like any young boy/man he seeks adventure, loves exploring and wants to make his mother proud, but always seems to be making the wrong choices. On top of all this, the “lights are not all on”.

CINDERELLA'S FATHER: 55-65. Caucasian. Seeking an incredibly funny and honest actor. This must be a fantastic character actor that can make a meal out of a tic tac.
