Character Description – Once Upon A Mattress
QUEEN AGGRAVAIN: { Alto 50’s/60’s) Very protective of her only son, Dauntless. She is a strong character that takes the stage with her presence. She is overbearing, lively, domineering, but should be played comically. Sings: in "Shy" but mainly in "Sensitivty." PRINCESS WINNIFRED {MezzoSoprano early 20’s) She is not the “classical” princess in any sense of the word. She can swim moats, lift weights and she prefers the swamps of home to a fancy castle. She is energetic, adventurous, independent and optimistic. Sings: "Shy," "The Swamps of Home," "Song of Love," and "Happily Ever After." PRINCE DAUNTLESS [Baritone – 20’s) Still a “mama’s boy,” but it is evident that he is ready to move on. He is childlike, naïve, with a likeable sense of innocence. He adores Winnifred and is in awe of her every step. Sings: "Opening for a Princess," a bit in "Shy," a bit in "The Swamps of Home," and "Song of Love" LADY LARKEN {Soprano – early 20’s} A classic beauty. She is graceful, charming and in love with Sir Harry. She is very eager for Dauntless to marry so she can wed Harry. She is eager to please and would never cause embarrassment to her love, Sir Harry. Sings: "In a Little While" and "Yesterday I Loved You" SIR HARRY {Tenor 2030’s} He is a handsome and masculine knight, but a bit of a “Stuffed shirt.” He may one day become the Prime Minister, if he can find a Princess to marry Dauntless, so he can wed Lady Larkin. He is chivalrous, brave, determined and a bit taken with himself. Sings: "In a Little While" and "Yesterday I Loved You" MINSTREL {Tenor/Soprano – 20’s/30’s} May be cast as male or female. Young, attractive and“worldly”. Has an air of confidence and enjoys telling the real story to the audience. S/he is likeable and cunning when need be. Sings: "Many Moons Ago," "The Minstrel, The Jester and I" JESTER{Tenor/Soprano 20’s) Male or Female Must be flexible, agile and full of energy. Has a hidden passion for show business and the “good old days” His/her loyalty lie with his friends, the King & the Minstrel. Dancer and special talents juggling, gymnast, contortionist, a bonus. Sings: "The Minstrel, The Jester and I" WIZARD {Baritone 30’s 50’s} The Queen’s Loyal Confidante. He is magical and mysterious, is able to do several magic tricks. He possesses a sense of “the dark side,” and showmanship. Sings: "Sensitivity" KING SEXTIMUS, THE SILENT{Early 50’s} He is mute, due to a curse, but you always know what he is thinking, He is expressive, mischievous and playful with strong facial and physical comedy. Doesn't sing because he is mute, but performs in ""The Minstrel, The Jester and I" *** Please Note: There are many additional featured roles, along with an ensemble of Knights, Ladies in Waiting etc. |
