Character List

 

Storytellers  

These four narrators tell the story of the Once On This Island Junior.  They can be female or male. These four roles are perhaps the most  difficult of the show. Not only do they sing the bulk of the show, they  also tell the story. 

​

Mama Euralie  

Mama is the symbolic mother of us all. She is loving, practical, funny  and earthy. 

 

Tonton Julian  

Tonton is the loving father to his adopted daughter, Ti Moune. Tonton  is strong, practical, and supportive.  

 

Little Girl / Little Ti Moune / Peasant Girl  

Little Girl and Little Ti Moune are played by the same actress. Look  for someone that can portray a frightened girl, as well as a spunky,  young girl who enjoys running and playing around. These characters  have no solo singing lines, so this is the perfect place to cast a  younger performer with good acting skills and a dynamic stage  presence.  

 

Ti Moune  

Ti Moune is the forcus of our story and is featured in solo songs and  dance. 

 

Daniel Beauxhomme  

Daniel is the leading male character in Once On This Island JR.  

 

Daniel's Son  

This is a very small walk-on part at the very end of the show.  

 

Gatekeeper 

The Gatekeeper has one scene. This role can be portrayed by a boy  or a girl, but he or she needs a booming voice and strong stature.  

 

Daniel's Father  

Unlike Tonton Julian, Daniel's father is not sympathetic or  understanding of his son's wishes.  

 

Andrea  

Andrea is Daniel's refined and beautiful fiancée. Daniel and Andrea  have been promised to each other by their parents since birth. She is  sophisticated, educated and the exact opposite of Ti Moune.  

 

Papa Ge  

Papa Ge describes himself as "the sly demon of death." He is also  the closest thing to a "bad guy" in the show. 

 

Asaka  

Asaka is the Goddess of the Earth and sings one of the most popular  and fun songs of the show, "Mama Will Provide."  

 

Agwe  

Agwe is the God of Water. He or she has a solo early in the show.  

 

Erzulie  

Erzulie is the triumphant Goddess of Love. This is a perfect role for an  actress who can be confident yet charming. 

 

Choir Of Storytellers  

(Peasants, Villagers, Guests, Grands Hommes) The ensemble is easily expandable to accommodate kids of nearly any ability.
