Quick Casting Insight: Singin’ in the Rain JR works best when you have excellent chemistry between Don and Kathy, a fearless comedic actress for Lina, and energetic ensemble performers capable of handling dance-heavy staging and fast-paced comedy.
Dora Bailey
Dora Bailey is always first on the scene for Hollywood premieres and gossip. This non-singing role is perfect for a student with strong projection, excellent diction, and natural stage confidence. Dora helps establish the glamorous Hollywood atmosphere early in the show.
Gender: Female
Don Lockwood
Don Lockwood is Hollywood’s charming silent-film superstar. Though famous, Don stays grounded and genuinely kind. Cast your strongest male singer and actor, someone charismatic enough to lead the show and believable opposite Kathy. Strong movement ability and classic musical comedy instincts are essential.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb2–Eb4
Lina Lamont
Lina Lamont is glamorous, self-absorbed, dramatic, and hilariously unaware of how terrible her voice sounds. This role requires a fearless comedic actress willing to fully commit to Lina’s exaggerated nasal voice and over-the-top personality throughout the production.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Bb3–Db5
Cosmo Brown
Cosmo is Don’s best friend and the comic engine of the show. Quick-witted, energetic, and endlessly clever, Cosmo leads several major musical moments and should be cast with a performer who has strong comedic timing, musicality, and dance confidence.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb2–Db5
Roz
Roz serves as Lina’s manager and personal assistant, constantly trying to keep Lina happy and under control. Though non-singing, this role is excellent for a supporting actress with expressive reactions and strong comic instincts.
Gender: Female
R.F. Simpson
R.F. Simpson is the stressed studio producer trying to keep Lockwood-Lamont productions profitable during Hollywood’s transition from silent films to talkies. Cast a strong character actor with commanding energy and comic frustration.
Gender: Male
Dexter
Dexter is the loud, frustrated director of the studio’s first talking picture. He constantly battles technical problems, assistants, and Lina’s impossible voice. This is a fantastic non-singing role for a performer with strong projection and comedic exasperation.
Gender: Male
Dexter’s Assistants
Dexter’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Assistants help create much of the backstage comedy during the studio scenes. These are excellent featured opportunities for newer ensemble performers.
Gender: Any
Kathy Selden
Kathy wants to become a serious actress and initially looks down on Hollywood celebrity culture. Honest, talented, smart, and emotionally grounded, Kathy requires one of your strongest singers and actresses. Chemistry with Don is extremely important because the romantic storyline anchors the musical.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–Eb5
Miss Dinsmore and the Teacher
These vocal coaches are hired to transform Lina into a respectable talking-picture actress. Tough, proper, and exhausted, these roles work especially well for ensemble performers with strong comic timing and expressive character work.
Gender: Female
Zelda
Zelda is Lina’s loyal friend and confidante. Dramatic and expressive like Lina, Zelda eventually reveals Kathy’s dubbing secret. This featured role works best with a performer unafraid to make bold comic choices.
Gender: Female
Sam
Sam is the no-nonsense sound engineer responsible for keeping the studio functioning during the transition to talkies. Cast a performer comfortable taking charge onstage and delivering technical dialogue clearly.
Gender: Any
Broadway Melody Host
The Broadway Melody Host introduces one of the musical’s biggest production numbers. This role should be cast with a confident performer who commands attention vocally and physically.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: Bb2–F5
Broadway Dancers
Broadway Dancers #1 and #2 are heavily featured during “Broadway Melody.” Cast excellent dancers who are also confident singers and strong stage performers.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: C3–F5
Chorus Girls
Chorus Girls #1 through #4 appear during “Make ’Em Laugh” and help create the classic Hollywood musical atmosphere. Strong character acting and projection matter more than perfect vocals.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: C4–D5
Stagehands
Stagehands #1 through #3 appear in “Make ’Em Laugh” and backstage scenes throughout the production. These featured ensemble roles are excellent opportunities for strong comic performers.
Gender: Any | Vocal range: F4–C5
Ensemble
