CAST OF CHARACTERS

The musical can be performed by a company of 5 or 6, depending on if you choose to cast a separate actor/puppeteer for Freddie the Parrot. In the original production Freddie was voiced by Mother and operated as a hand-held puppet by both Mother and/or Grandma, depending on the scene.

There is also an evil berry bush in the woods, which should be sung by Grandma.
