ALL ROLES OPEN
Moses
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. A high tenor (sings up to Bb) with a thrilling voice and large range.
Gender: male
Age: 18 to 39
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Ramses
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. A strong tenor (sings up to G#), but with a well-developed lower range.
Gender: male
Age: 18 to 39

Age: 35 to 55
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Seti
The Pharaoh of Egypt. Commanding, carries himself with great dignity and authority. As a young man, he brought Egypt back from the brink ofcivil war.

Gender: male
Age: 50 to 69
Vocal range top: E4
Vocal range bottom: B2
Hotep
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. Strong baritone.

Aaron
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. Tenor or high baritone.
Gender: male
Age: 22 to 40
Vocal range top: G4
Vocal range bottom: B2
Nefertari
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.
