The Mad Hatter (Adult Male) is the life of the tea party and should be performed by someone who enjoys acting larger than life. You need to be comfortable being silly and creative with facial expressions and vocal musicality (Tenor) (solo & ensemble singing)

The White Rabbit (Adult Male) is an energetic, worrisome character that hardly ever stops moving. (ensemble singing)

The March Hare / King of Hearts (Adult Male) the counterpart to the Mad Hatter who also enjoys a good party. A little less crazy than the Mad Hatter/belittled by the Queen. (Baritone/Bass) (solo & ensemble singing)

The Cheshire Cat / Tap Dancing Card (Male) is mysterious, mischievous, unpredictable, and cool (Bariton/ jazzy, smooth tone) (solo & ensemble singing)
