Roles

RoleM/FAgeDescription
Deloris Van CartierF25-35An 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.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: F#5 Vocal range bottom: E3
Mother SuperiorF50-70The 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.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: D3
Sister Mary RobertF16-25A 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.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: A5 Vocal range bottom: F#3
Sister Mary PatrickF35-50A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable.
Sister Mary LazarusF50-70A 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.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: F3
Monsignor O'haraM45-60One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: G4 Vocal range bottom: E3
CurtisM30-40A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: Ab4 Vocal range bottom: A2
Eddie SoutherM25-35The 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.
Things to Know - Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: Ab2
TjM16-30Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss.

Things to Know - Vocal range top: Eb5 Vocal range bottom: Bb2

Sister Mary Martin-of-toursF40-60A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity.
Sister Mary TheresaF60-70A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch.
