In this sweeping musical adaptation of The Prince of Egypt, audiences follow Moses—a young man raised in opulence within an Egyptian palace—who discovers his true Hebrew heritage and a divine calling to lead his people to freedom. The journey unfolds amid the grandeur of ancient Egypt and the stark challenges of destiny, as Moses struggles with his identity and the weight of his newfound mission, while figures like Rameses, Tzipporah, and Miriam embody the themes of loyalty, love, and relentless hope.

Moses
Male
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: Bb2
A high tenor (sings up to Bb) with a thrilling voice and large range

Playful, but with a soulful core. Ages throughout the show. He begins the show as a devil-may-care young man, a bit of a clown and playboy, secure in his privileged identity as a prince of Egypt. But after his devastating discovery that he was born a slave, he grows into the strong and compassionate leader of the Hebrew people.

Ramses
Male
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: Bb2
A strong tenor (sings up to G#), but with a well-developed lower range

A prince of Egypt, heir to the throne, who ages throughout the show. He loves his brother Moses, but is also quite competitive with him, since Moses’s winning personality continually puts him in the shade. His father expects a great deal from him as the future Pharaoh, and Ramses is wracked by self-doubt. Through trials of great pain over the course of the show, he ultimately becomes a great leader of the Egyptians.

Yocheved
Female

Tuya
Female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G3

Seti
Male
Vocal range top: E4
Vocal range bottom: B2
A low baritone / bass

The Pharaoh of Egypt. Commanding, carries himself with great dignity and authority. As a young man, he brought Egypt back from the brink of civil war. He is a great general and still leads his army into battle. He loves his sons deeply,but he loves Egypt more and everything he does is to protect and preserve his country.

Hotep
Male
Vocal range top: F4
Vocal range bottom: G#2
Strong baritone

The High Priest of Egypt. Though pompous and self-important, he is deeply committed to the ancient gods of Egypt and above all fears the heresy of the one god which brought down the previous dynasty. His support is crucial to the well-being of the 18th Dynasty. He despises Moses for his lack of reverence and seeks to preserve the Egyptian hierarchy at all costs.

Tzipporah
Female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Must have a thrilling high belt, but also a well-developed and beautiful mix; must also dance well

Miriam
Female

Moses’s Hebrew sister. Devout, unswerving, simple-hearted, optimistic. A prophetess. She believes in God and in Moses as the Deliverer and never wavers in her faith in both.

Aaron
Male
Vocal range top: G4
Vocal range bottom: B2
Tenor or high baritone

Moses’s Hebrew brother. Intellectual, sardonic, skeptical, funny. Aaron has reached an accommodation with his life as a slave; he makes a joke of everything to diminish the pain. Aaron is the last Hebrew to believe in Moses; when Moses returns to Egypt and confronts Ramses, asking him to let his people go, Aaron’s skepticism is borne out when the Hebrews’ labor is doubled. But when Aaron is finally won over, he becomes Moses’ most loyal follower.

Nefertari
Female
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Strong rich belt, high alto

Ramses’s wife and his Queen of Egypt. Imperious and haughty. Scion of an ancient royal family, she is keenly aware of her position and her importance to the dynasty. She is supremely self-confident and looks down upon Ramses as a member of an upstart family. But at the end, her heart is broken by the death of her son and she reveals her humanity and love for Ramses.

Jethro
Male
Vocal range top: G4
Vocal range bottom: A2
A high baritone (must sing up to G) with a strong warm voice
