Quick Casting Insight: Schoolhouse Rock Live Jr works best when you have a likable Tom, strong featured singers for Dori, George, Shulie, Joe, Dina, and Janet, and an ensemble that can jump quickly between educational vignettes, song styles, and comic featured roles.

Tom
Tom is the idealistic young teacher and hero of the story. He is nervous about his first day of teaching but gradually becomes more comfortable as the show continues. Since Tom does not sing a solo, cast a mature young performer who is amiable, likable, charming, and strong enough as an actor to anchor the story.
Gender: Male

George
George is a marvelous character role and takes the lead on “Three Is A Magic Number” and “Just A Bill.” He is a calming presence and a strong cheerleader for Tom. Cast a good singer and great character actor who can feel caring, controlled, and romantic.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb2–E4

Dori
Dori takes the lead on “A Noun Is A Person, Place, Or Thing,” “The Preamble,” and “Elbow Room.” She leads more songs than any other character, so cast a strong singer who can lead the ensemble with confidence. Dori is often the goofiest of the group, playful, silly, and full of personality.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–C5

Shulie
Shulie is sweet, genuine, and featured in “Unpack Your Adjectives.” She also takes the lead on “Interplanet Janet.” Cast a strong singer and likable character actor who can bring warmth and clarity to the role.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–C5

Joe
Joe is one cool kid, laid back and fun-loving. Cast a performer who can deliver “Conjunction Junction” with the right growl and confident style.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: D3–E4

Dina
Dina is mature, thoughtful, and grounded. She is featured in “Unpack Your Adjectives” and takes the lead on “Interjections.” Cast a strong singer who can handle harmony and bring steady confidence to the group.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Bb3–C5

Elvis
Elvis is a great role for a fantastic character actor. Cast a performer with a big personality who can embody the King of Rock and Roll with confidence and fun.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: B2–D4

Janet
Janet is a strong featured role for a singer and actor with lots of personality. She leads “Interplanet Janet” with Shulie, so cast two performers who work well together and can share the number with energy.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C4–D5

Ensemble
The ensemble can include many young performers and is a great place to feature students in small vignette roles. Ensemble roles may include Congressmen, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis, Clark, Sacajawea, the Sun, the Planets, the Comet Team, Reginald, Doctor, Geraldine, Gerald, Franklin, the Team, and the Crowd. These roles make it easy to involve more students while giving many performers brief, memorable moments.
Gender: Any
