LILY – Female, 28-38 (Range: Soprano, Bb3-D6) Mary's aunt and Archibald  Craven's wife. Died of a tragic accident within her garden and  metaphorically haunts the walls of Misselthwaite Manor.
MARY LENNOX – Female, 10 (Range: Young Voice, Ab3-D5) A ten-year-old girl sent to  live with her uncle, Archibald, when her parents die from cholera in  India. Quite the curious explorer, and often finding herself in trouble.  Stubborn and always fighting for what she believes in.
MRS. MEDLOCK – Female, Age Flexible (Range: Ensemble/Part Flexible) Archibald’s housekeeper. As cold as the Misselthwaite Manor.
DR. NEVILLE CRAVEN – Male, 35-45 (Range: Baritone, C3-F#4) Archibald’s brother. Trapped by  the idea that he is responsible for the caretaking of Colin. Though  Lily never loved him in return, he remains in love with her, and is  unwilling to move on and leave Misselthwaite.
MARTHA – Female, 18-30 (Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt, G3-D5) A faithful  housemaid. Grew up near Yorkshire and has the accent to prove it.  Although she is from a lower-class family, her wisdom is often far  beyond her age.
ARCHIBALD CRAVEN – Male, 35-45  (Range: Baritone, C3-A4) Mary's uncle and lord of Misselthwaite Manor.  He has a hunchback. Haunted by the past and afraid of the future, he  locks himself away both physically and mentally. Mary painfully reminds  him too much of his wife, Lily, who died ten years ago.
BEN WEATHERSTAFF – Male, Age Flexible (Range: Ensemble/Part Flexible, E3-D#4) Head  gardener. Secretly entrusted to take care of the garden after Lily’s  death. Knows a great deal about the history of the garden and the  grounds it sits on. He has worked for the family for many years. He  calls himself “an old man.”
DICKON – Male, 16-25  (Range: Tenor, D3-G4) Martha's younger brother. Looks after the sick  plants and animals within the Misselthwaite grounds—including Mary. He  is a young man who is between the world of child imagination and adult  reasoning. Befriends Mary and convinces her to take care of the Garden.
COLIN CRAVEN – Male, 10 (Range: Young Voice, A3-E5) Archibald's ten year-old son.  Spent his life in bed due to a heart condition. He is very stubborn and  throws temper tantrums to get what he wants. He believes his father  hates him for causing Lily’s death.
MRS. WINTHROP –  Female, Age Flexible (Range: Ensemble/Part Flexible) Headmistress of a  private school. Prides herself on nurturing girls with tempers. Mary  seems to be more than she can handle.

The Following characters, referred to collectively as the Dreamers,  are people from Mary's life in India, who haunt her until she finds her  new life in the course of the story. They are free to sing directly to  us, appearing and disappearing at will.

ROSE LENNOX – Female, 28-38 (Range: Soprano, A3-D6) Mary's mother. A “dreamer” from  the past who doesn’t understand how her sister Lily could truly love  Archibald. Very loyal to her husband and refuses to leave India during  the cholera outbreak that takes her life.
