Character Descriptions:

Sister Mary Regina (Mother Superior)
The head of the convent, she is respected greatly by the Sisters. Whilst 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 humour. The character may be played with an Irish accent.  Voice Part: mezzo/belter.

 Sister Mary Hubert
Hubert is in charge of the Novices, but fancies herself as Mother Superior and is in constant competition with Mary Regina. She exudes maternal wisdom to novices, but also likes to let loose. Voice Part: mezzo/belter.

 Sister Robert Anne
Once a child delinquent herself, this rough nun is a jokester and constantly challenging authority. She speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent and is forever displaying her lack of refinement. Voice Part: mezzo/belter.

Sister Mary Amnesia
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 the genres of classical and country. Voice Part: soprano/belter.  

Sister Mary Leo
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 easily swayed to join in the mischief. Voice Part: mezzo/belter.
