Quick Casting Insight: My Son Pinocchio works best when Geppetto feels emotionally sincere, Pinocchio balances comedy with vulnerability, and the ensemble fully embraces the whimsical fairy-tale world of the musical.

Geppetto
Geppetto is a lonely toy maker who longs to become a father. Loving, emotional, optimistic, and sometimes overwhelmed, Geppetto anchors the emotional core of the musical. This role requires one of your strongest singers and actors, especially because Geppetto carries several important solos and emotional scenes.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–F5

---

Pinocchio
Pinocchio is a wooden puppet trying to discover where he belongs in the world. The role requires youthful energy, curiosity, and emotional honesty. Though written as a boy, Pinocchio may be played by a boy or girl. Strong acting instincts are more important than perfect vocals.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: G3–E5

---

Blue Fairy
The Blue Fairy is magical, confident, and completely convinced of her own perfection. The role depends heavily on comedic timing, expressive reactions, and strong vocals rather than dance ability.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–E5

---

Fairies
Rosa, Viola, and Arancia are fairies in training who often observe and comment on the action unfolding throughout the story. These performers sing frequently alongside the Blue Fairy and should blend vocally while still developing individual personalities during rehearsals.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–E5

---

Sue
Sue is a fairy in training who does not fit the typical fairy stereotype. Brash, sarcastic, or brooding, Sue should contrast strongly with the sweeter personalities of the other fairies while still blending vocally during ensemble numbers.
Gender: Female

---

Stromboli
Stromboli is a chaotic, loud, and hilariously over-the-top puppeteer. This role thrives on exaggerated voices, broad physical comedy, and fearless silliness. Stromboli’s music can be challenging, so cast a confident performer who embraces comic absurdity fully.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–F5

---

Professore Buongrazzo
Professore Buongrazzo is a wildly eccentric scientist obsessed with manufacturing “perfect” children. Though some singing is required, the role depends most on strong character acting, comic commitment, and theatrical energy.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–C#4

---

Junior
Junior is Professore Buongrazzo’s identical assistant, created by the child-making machine. The actor playing Junior must mirror the Professor’s physical movement and timing closely. A short solo is included but may be spoken if needed.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb3–C#5

---

Ringleader
The Ringleader oversees Pleasure Island with theatrical flair and mischievous energy. This role works especially well for a performer comfortable dancing, singing, and commanding audience attention.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: A3–E5

---

Signora Giovanni
Signora Giovanni is Pinocchio’s teacher. Though primarily a speaking role, it provides a great opportunity for a performer who may not want a large singing part.
Gender: Any

---

Bernardo and Maria
Bernardo and Maria are residents of Idyllia hoping to purchase a “perfect” daughter from Professore Buongrazzo. These roles feature group singing and can double into additional ensemble opportunities throughout the show.
Bernardo: Male
Maria: Female

---

Talia
Talia is the “perfect child” created for Bernardo and Maria. This role works especially well for a strong dancer who can perform with polished precision.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C3–C4

---

Boy 1 and Boy 2
Boy 1 and Boy 2 are comedic replacement “perfect boys” created by the Professor’s machine. These performers should exaggerate robotic puppet-like movement and comic stiffness.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: C3–C4

---

Marionettes
The Marionettes are Stromboli’s puppets and may feature solos depending on how the production is staged. These performers should commit fully to puppet-inspired movement and theatrical comedy.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb3–E5

---

Town Children
Dante, Agata, Fiorello, Francesca, Adriana, Luigi, Gina, Lia, Rico, and the Town Children adore Geppetto’s toy shop. Each child should feel unique and distinct, creating strong personality-driven ensemble scenes.
Gender: Any

---

Town Parents
The Town Parents are frustrated, opinionated, and often judgmental adults reacting to the chaos surrounding Pinocchio and Geppetto. These performers should create strong comic personalities and reactions.
Gender: Any

---

Children of Idyllia
Amelia, Salvatore, Carla, Lucia, Giuseppe, Boy 1, Boy 2, and the Children of Idyllia are the “perfect children” created by the Professor’s machine. This group provides excellent opportunities for synchronized movement and stylized choreography.
Gender: Any

---

Animals
The Pig, Foxes, Horse, and other Animals serve as unexpected voices of wisdom throughout Geppetto’s journey. These roles depend heavily on comic timing, physical choices, and deadpan delivery rather than vocals.
Gender: Any

---

Roustabouts
The Roustabouts are sidekicks to the Pleasure Island Ringleader and help create the chaotic energy of those scenes. Personality and ensemble chemistry matter more than vocal complexity.
Gender: Any

---

Delinquents
Malvolio, Brutto, Sporco, and the Delinquents can expand to include many additional performers. These roles are especially good for students comfortable with exaggerated movement, physical comedy, and transforming into donkeys during the show.
Gender: Any
