ABOUT THE SHOW
This is a musical based on the book MAGIC SCHOOL BUS: LOST IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM published by Scholastic.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
MS. FRIZZLE – Character is female. An ebullient teacher with an indomitable can-do spirit and a voracious appetite for teaching. Ever-so-slightly irresponsible and ever-so-much-so omnipotent. Ethel Merman belter Ab3 to C#5, with rich Mary Poppins soprano G4 to E5. Able to easily flip between the two within the same song.
ARNOLD – Character is male. A teacher’s pet and very proud of it. Charming, sensitive, unreasonably intelligent. Struck out of orbit by the arrival of his know-it-all cousin, Arnold soon finds himself motivated by jealousy competing for Ms. Frizzle’s attention. Contemporary musical theatre bari-tenor, B2 to G#4.
WANDA – Character is Asian female. The alien hunter. Fierce, uncompromising, doesn’t have a crush on Carlos. Walks around like the hero of an alien action movie, and again, doesn’t have a crush on Carlos. Contemporary musical theatre belter, F#3 to Eb5.
CARLOS – Character is Latine male. The other alien hunter, as long as alien hunting is still what Wanda is into. Keeper of anti-alien weapons, and also of terribly corny punch lines, Carlos is Wanda’s action hero sidekick. He doesn’t have a crush on Wanda – this cannot be stressed enough. Contemporary musical theatre high baritone, A2 to G4.
