6 female, 3 male roles (without doubling)

BEAN (Female, 7 years old) – loud, wild, and goofy, Bean loves to make up games and is determined to have fun with her friends on Pancake Court…and if that means she has to best her sister Nancy in the process–all the better! (alto)

IVY (Female, 7 years old) – quiet, “proper,” and full of ideas, Ivy spends most of her time reading…and learning how to be a witch. (mezzo)

NANCY / ZUZU (Female, 11 years old) – eager to be a teenager, Nancy is always trying to distance herself from Bean and Bean’s friends, and she’s never impressed with Ivy and Bean’s games or plans, which can often make her stand-offish. (alto)
