MAGNIFICENT MILLIE
MILLIE – Adult to play 9 years old. Millie often gets carried away with all her stories and dreams, which causes disturbances at home and school. She’s learning to control her wild imagination and use it to help others. Proficient singer with a belt.
MELINDA – Adult to play 13 years old. Melinda is an overachiever with perfect attendance in every club at school. She loves her sister, Millie, but wishes she’d be more organized. Proficient singer with a belt.
FAIRY – Fairy is here to show Millie how to grow from Messy to Magnificent… if only she could find her watch. Fairy means well, but is very disorganized. Proficient singer with a belt.
CHARLOTTE – Adult to play 9 years old. Charlotte is very sweet, a true introvert. While Millie is learning to wait her turn, Charlotte is learning to speak up.
MOM/MS WILKINS – Mom is super smart, but lacks the creativity Millie possesses. While she is in awe of her daughter’s imagination, she struggles to keep Millie on track. Ms Wilkins is not a confident teacher so when Millie takes over the class, she has a hard time bringing everyone back.
DAD/BUS DRIVER – Like Mom, Dad is entertained by Millie’s creativity but can’t relate to her. Bus Driver is just trying to get the kids to school on time.
