Other adult roles (19 years and up) listed below.
We will audition these roles in our local auditions TBD in CT. Please do not submit for these roles at this time.
GRIMSBY
Grimsby is Prince Eric’s prim and proper valet. Rigid in bearing and personality, he is constantly trying to guide Prince Eric toward the throne and a suitable bride fit for a royal marriage. Under his stern demeanor, Grimsby truly is fond of Eric, whom he worries about and attends to as though his own son. Though he has a few small solos, Grimsby needn’t be a strong singer – your actor should feel free to speak-sing his part.
Vocal Range: C3 – C4
PILOT
The Pilot, the uniformed helmsman of Prince Eric’s ship, is a nautical expert who entertains the sailors with wild tales of the sea. A little too superstitious for Grimsby’s taste, the Pilot nevertheless maintains strict control of his ship and crew even as he sings with a jolly cadence. Baritone.
SEA CREATURES
Sea Creatures of various shapes, sizes, and species comprise the underwater ensemble of King Triton’s court. “Under the Sea” presents opportunities to showcase both talented singers and dancers.
GULLS
The Gulls comprise Scuttle’s zany back-up flock in “Positoovity.” These feathered friends of Scuttle’s are equally as off-beat, though they present an opportunity to showcase the talented – and very on-beat – dancers in your cast.
PRINCESSES
The Princesses try everything they can to win the heart of Prince Eric. As none possesses the voice he is searching for, each should have an exaggerated and comedic personality that is revealed through song.
SAILORS
The Sailors are the competent crew of Prince
Eric’s ship. Hardy and eager for adventure, they are vigorous, efficient, and attentive to the Pilot’s orders, always prepared for rough seas and stormy weather.
MAIDS
The Maids are four palace servants who report to Grimsby. They haughtily assist Ariel in preparation for dinner with Prince Eric and are a bit jealous of this pretty stranger in their midst.
CHEFS
The Chefs comprise the sous staff of the eccentric Chef Louis. Their equally overblown movement adds to the comedic chaos of dinner as they chase Louis around the dining room.
