Character Breakdown
REVEREND MOTHER: Sister Mary Regina (mezzo-soprano / belter). Mother Superior. The head of the convent, she is respected greatly by the sisters. While she is strict, she has a hard time keeping the craziness of the convent at bay. She keeps her guard up in front of the nuns, but has an extroverted side. Part requires some very physical humor. The character may be played with an Irish accent. RANGE: B-D
SISTER HUBERT: Sister Mary Hubert (mezzo / alto / belter). Hubert is in charge of novices, but fancies herself a Mother Superior and is in constant competition with Mary Regina. She exudes maternal wisdom to novices, but also likes to let loose.RANGE: G-E
SISTER AMNESIA: Sister Mary Amnesia (soprano). As the name suggests, she has lost her memory and does not know who she is except that she is a nun. She is spacey and incoherent, often slipping into displays inappropriate for a nun. Must be able to sing in classical and country styles. RANGE: D-C (High C)
SISTER ROBERT ANNE: Sister Robert Anne (mezzo / belter) Once a child delinquent herself, this rough tough nun is a jokester and constantly challenging authority. She speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent and constantly displays her lack of refinement. RANGE: G-D 4
SISTER LEO: Sister Mary Leo (mezzo / belter). Leo is the novice nun, still learning the way and coming to terms with her decision to give up “civilian” life. She is a ballerina and displays her talents through much of the show. She is also easily swayed to join in mischief. RANGE: A-G
