Synopsis:
The Evil Queen longs to be the fairest in all the land, however there is one person in her way, her stepdaughter Snow White. She hatches a plan to finally be rid of her, but things go a little awry. Elsewhere, a Prince from a far-off Kingdom arrives in search of love and befriends the local delivery boy before setting off on an adventure.
Characters:
Snow White (F) Late Teens/20’s
Principal Girl. Princess, down to earth, kind and loving.
Prince Sam (M) Late Teens/20’s
Principal Boy. A charming young man, adventurous, but evidently normal.
Evil Queen (F) 30-50
Evil Villain. Snow White’s step-mother. Beautiful on the outside, but horrible on the inside.
King White (M) 40+
Snow White’s father and King. A joyful man who loves being king and is totally oblivious to most things going on around him.
Nanny Patti Cakes (M) Typically Older Male but no Age Limit
Traditional Dame. The Palace cook. Widowed but looking for a husband so she can quit her job.
Johnny Cakes (M/F) 20’s/30’s
The Simple Simon. Best friends with Snow White. Delivery boy for the palace. Can be changed to a female name.
Lanky (M/F) Any Age
A rather short and yet preferably larger criminal for hire. Whilst technically bad, Lanky has not a single evil bone in their body and most of their crimes are harmless and stupid.
The Dwarves (M/F) Any Age (must be short though…)
(Stinky, Smiley, Loudly, Nervously, Bravely, Snarky and Dave) 7 siblings who all live in a house in the magical forest. NOTE: Dave can be any height can be played by either gender, as can any of the other dwarves.
Fairy in the Mirror (M/F) Any Age
A magical mirror that can only speak the truth. (Chorus Singing Only)
Chorus (M/F) Any Age
There are lots of opportunities for other speaking roles for chorus members, including villagers, criminals, palace staff, weirdos (sounds cooler than it is)
