  • Coming soon!

  • Deloris Van Cartier

    • Female | mid 20s-mid 30s

    • Vocal range top: F#5 bottom: E3

    An aspiring performer, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in the convent, she initially refuses to embrace her new lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed, and sassy, but ultimately caring.

    Mother Superior

    • Female | 50s-70s

    • Vocal range top: E5 bottom: D3

    The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings.

    Sister Mary Robert

    • Female | 20s

    • Vocal range top: A5 bottom: F#3

    A postulant, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken, but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life.

    Sister Mary Patrick

    • Female | mid 30s- 50

    A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.

    Sister Mary Lazarus

    • Female | 50s-70s

    • Vocal range top: B4 bottom: F3

    A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris's soul music.

    Monsignor O'hara

    • Male | mid40s- 60

    • Vocal range top: G4 bottom: E3

    One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.

    Curtis

    • Male | 30s - 40s

    • Vocal range top: Ab4 bottom: A2

    A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.

    Eddie Souther

    • Male | mid20s - mid30s

    • Vocal range top: B4 bottom: Ab2

    The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero.

    Tj

    • Male | 18 - 30

    • Vocal range top: Eb5 bottom: Db3

    Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.

    Joey

    • Male | 30s

    • Vocal range top: Eb5 bottom: Bb2

    One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man.

    Pablo

    • Male | mid20s to 40

    • Vocal range top: F5 bottom: C4

    One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish.

    Sister Mary Martin-of-tours

    • Female | 40 to 60

    A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity.

    Sister Mary Theresa

    • Female | 60 to 70

    A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch.

    Michelle

    • Female | 20s

    • Vocal range top: F5 bottom: Bb3

    One of Deloris's back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort.

    Tina

    • Female | 20s

    • Vocal range top: F5 bottom: Ab3

    One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little thick and naive.

    Ernie

    • Male | 20s

    One of Curtis's thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant.

    Ensemble

    • Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron, Waitress, Pool Player, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers
