Bulletin Board
Bulletin Board is a magical creature, like the tooth fairy, who grants kids' wishes but with a little twist. Cast a character actress who's funny and can be a little goofy. She should be able to sing reasonably well and carry a solo.
Mrs. Cartero
Mrs. Cartero is a sassy postal worker. She is fun-loving and extremely likable. She should have a strong singing and speaking voice and must be able to drive the energy of her scenes.
Doctor Dan
Doctor Dan is a hard-of-hearing, overworked Doctor. This is a non-singing role, perfect for any kid who's the class clown but doesn't really sing. As long as the actor (or actress) is funny and loud, he or she will be successful in this role.
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty is the long-suffering assistant to Doctor Dan. This non-singing role is a great place to feature an actress who's not quite ready for a large part or who doesn't have a strong singing voice.
Cool Kids
Cool Kids are the kids who fly Stanley like a kite and are non-singing roles.
King Of The Cool Kids
King of the Cool Kids is the ringleader of the cool kids, also non-singing.
Birds
Birds are Stanley's singing bird friends. The Birds should be strong female singers who can handle harmony. Also, it's helpful if they are good dancers or at least graceful movers.
Crowd
The Crowd is a large group of people who see Stanley off on his adventure. This is your chorus; cast one and all if possible!
Hollywood Agent
Hollywood Agent is a slick, old-style agent. This role can be successfully played by either a male or female performer. Cast someone with a strong voice capable of carrying a solo. This is a perfect role for someone who is naturally funny with a big voice.
Hollywood Assistants
Passerbys / Wannabes
Samantha
Samantha is Stanley's friend who moved to Los Angeles. This non-singing role is a great feature for an actress who is highly likable, sweet, and can share a quiet and touching scene with Stanley.
O. Jay D'art
O. Jay D'art is the curator for the Louvre museum. This non-singing role is a fantastic featured part for a male or female performer who is funny and can create a character that is bigger than life.
Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci's painting come to life. This is a non-singing role and nice feature for an actress who can create a strong character. It's also helpful if the actress can affect an Italian accent.
Napoleon
Napoleon is Jacques-Louis David's painting come to life. This is a non-singing role and perfect feature for an actor who can create a strong character and affect a French accent.
Sneak Thief
Sneak Thief is a world-class art burglar. This non-singing role is perfect for the smallest person you can cast, as it creates a great comic affect. It is also a great role for a younger performer who's not afraid to be goofy.
Kiki
Kiki is an entertainment reporter in Hawaii. Non-singing role suited for a performer of nearly any ability. Great role to cast a kid who's new to your program to see how he or she handles themselves in a role.
Herb Wavecrest
Herb Wavecrest is an entertainment reporter. Non-singing role suited for a performer of nearly any ability. Great role to cast a kid who's new to your program to see how he or she handles themselves in a role.

Assistant Director on Stanley's movie. Non-singing role suited for a performer of nearly any ability. Great role to cast a kid who's new to your program to see how he or she handles themselves in a role.
Bikini Wahini
Bikini Wahini is Stanley's co-star. This is a nice feature for a female performer who has a strong voice, moves well and is very likable. Think Goldie Hawn back in her Laugh-In days.
Go-go Dancers
Go-Go-Dancers are the extras in Stanley's movie. Feature your ensemble performers who have strong voices and can dance or at least move well.
