Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | THE SINGLE DAD | Male |
Description (He/Him. 20s – 40s) Our romantic lead. Charming, handsome, happy… but also oblivious. Women fight for his attention, and he doesn’t know why. Funny, but in a more subdued manner. Will need to be someone who moves well and is a strong vocalist. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | THE RIVAL | Female |
Description (She/Her. 20s – 40s) As the arch-rival to our lead character, this woman loves Christmas, and tries to thwart our lead at every turn. She’s often pretending to be nice with a phony smile, but can turn aggressive and loud in a heartbeat. She’s a villain, but a fun villain who we grow to love. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | THE JERK | Male |
Description THE JERK: THE JERK FROM THE BIG CITY WHO HATES CHRISTMAS. (He/Him. 20s – 40s) The ex-boyfriend of our lead character. He is the kind of jerk you love to hate. Loud. Obnoxious. Preppy. Brash. But also hilarious, and sneakily charming. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | UNCLE NICK | Male |
Description UNCLE NICK aka THE OLD MAN WHOSE CHRISTMAS TREE LOT IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. (He/Him. 30s – 50s) Jolly. Happy. It’s pretty obvious this man is Santa Claus even if he won’t admit it. He also acts as a wise narrator throughout the show. Jack Black is a good stylistic reference for the singing style, as we need a strong comic performer who can go over-the-top when needed. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | THE CHILD / THE BOSS | Female |
Description (She / Her. 18 – 30’s) In the role of THE CHILD, this is an adult playing a 7 year-old girl. Sweet, childlike, and smarter than everyone else on the stage. She is sometimes the sole voice of reason amongst all the nonsense that surrounds her. Sings a fun Olivia Rodrigo-style number. This same actor doubles as THE BOSS: a harsh, no nonsense magazine editor in the big city. | ||
