Sour Kangaroo Playing Age: 25 – 50 (although must be a funky 50)
The diva queen of the jungle. As it says in the score, “Aretha with more attitude”. She is
funky and she has attitude but is also hard-hearted and sour. She has no time for
dreamers and foolishness and holds on to power by insisting those in the jungle
conform to her sense of normalcy. But deep down she is not all bad and when she
realises she is wrong she is quick to acknowledge it and accept her mistakes. Requires a
strong gospel / soul style of singing and the ability to front company numbers.

Birdgirls Playing Age: 16 – 35
The glamorous ‘Three Degrees’ of the jungle. Mayzie wanna-bes. The Birdgirls act as
storytellers and move the story on. They live in the moment, are sensuous and should
have fun, bold, individual characters. They enjoy being appreciated and flirt with the
Wickersham brothers.
Must have excellent musical timing and the ability to hold a harmony. Must move well
and in tight synchronicity with each other.
Mrs Mayor Playing Age: 30 – 55
Innocent, quirky and values conformity. Should make a good team with Mr Mayor and
be almost a caricature. Like Americans of the 1950s although like the other ‘Whos’ her
straight and proper demeanour is interspersed with whimsical and quirky movements.
Mrs Mayor is at her wits end trying to keep Jojo’s world neat tidy and free from
spontaneous outbursts and ‘thinks’. She defers to her husband. She agrees the way to
‘cure’ Jojo is to send him/her away to military school. But, like all parents, she makes
mistakes in her choices and realises this by the end of the show.

NB The only characters in the show which must be good dancers are the Wickershams. Most characters
need to move well, although only those indicated below with movement auditions are required to do a
dance audition, and for those characters, other than the Wickershams, it is only a minor aspect compared
to singing and acting 1
