Moana
The vibrant, tenacious, and optimistic daughter of Motunui’s chief. She struggles to reconcile her father’s plans for her to take over as the village chief with her own desires to voyage beyond the reef. Ultimately, Moana proves a compassionate and capable leader. Cast an actor who can portray great maturity, possesses incredible energy, a fun sense of humor, and can confidently deliver songs like “How Far I’ll Go.”
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Maui
A demigod and master wayfinder with charisma to spare and a reputation of being a trickster. Despite his hard exterior, Maui becomes a wonderful friend and mentor to Moana throughout their journey. Cast an actor with great comic timing who can portray this shapeshifter’s larger-than-life personality through big gestures and high energy, making moments like “You’re Welcome” true showstoppers. Note: The character Maui is based on the fabled Pacific Island demigod, so proceed with respect and caution in costuming and portrayal.
Gender: Male

Chief Ancestors (1-3)
Chief Ancestors (1-3) are the three ancient leaders of Motunui. They guide Moana on her quest and narrate her story through speaking and singing solos. These ancestors should be animated storytellers who have excellent diction.
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: G3
Gramma Tala
Moana’s wise grandmother and the mother of Chief Tui. She is the village storyteller known for being eccentric and dancing to the beat of her own drum. Look for a playful actor and singer who can balance comic timing in “Where You Are (Part 2)” with heartfelt sincerity in “Song of the Ancestors.”
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: G3
Chief Tui
The proud leader of Motunui and Moana’s father. He prioritizes the safety of his people and his family. For this beloved and respected ruler, cast a mature and poised actor who can sing very well. After Chief Tui’s scenes at the top of the show, the actor can join the Maui, Monster, and/or Shiny ensembles before returning to this primary role at the show’s end.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: A#2
Vocal range bottom: E2
Sina
Moana’s supportive mother. She is compassionate, perceptive, and strong-willed, and trusts her daughter to make the right decisions. With both speaking and singing solos, look for a confident singer and actor who can embody a mature and respected leader. After Sina’s scenes at the top of the show, the actor can join the Maui, Monster, and/or Shiny ensembles before returning to this primary role at the show’s end.
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: C#4
Pua
Moana’s fiercely loyal friend. Pua always supports Moana – even if it means facing her own fears. An actor who is also a confident singer can make Pua’s moments in “Where You Are (Part 2),”“How Far I’ll Go,” and “We Know the Way (Finale)” stand out.
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Hei Hei
Moana’s not-so-bright friend. Hei Hei is well- meaning, but naive. Cast an actor who can portray Hei Hei’s innocence and own both speaking and singing solos in “Where You Are (Part 2),”“How Far I’ll Go,” and “We Know the Way (Finale).”

Tamatoa
The vicious and egotistical giant crab who lives in Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters. Tamatoa enjoys gathering shiny baubles to add to an ever-growing collection. For this self-centered crab with a keen sense of showmanship, cast an actor who isn’t afraid to own the stage and really shine.

Maui
Congratulations on not being dead, curly. You surprised me. But I’m still not taking that thing back. You wanna get to Te Fiti, you have to go through a whole ocean of bad. Not to mention Te Ka. Lava Monster? Ever defeat a lava monster? I’m not going on a mission with some… mortal. You can’t restore the heart without me. And me says no. I’m getting my hook. End of discussion.
Moana
Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea. I am Moana… wh-what? No, I came here to… You are not my hero. And I’m not here so you can sign my oar. I’m here because you stole the heart of Te Fiti, and you will board my boat, sail across the sea, and put it back. I am gonna get us to Te Fiti. “You’re Welcome”!
Tamatoa
What have we here?” It’s a sparkly, shiny, wait a minute…It’s a human. What are you doing down here in the realms of the monsters… You’re a funny looking thing aren’t you! Ooh…Are you trying to get me to talk about myself? Because I will gladly do so…in song form!
Gramma Tala
Maui. When he stole from the Mother Island, darkness fell. Te Ka awoke. Monsters lurked and boats stopped coming back. To protect our people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging. And now we have forgotten who we are. And the darkness has continued to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island. But one day, someone will journey beyond our reef, find Maui deliver him across the great ocean to restore the heart of Te Fiti.
Chief Tui
No one goes beyond the reef. Moana, we have one rule. A rule that keeps us safe! Instead of endangering are people so you can run right back to the water! Every time I think your past this. No one goes beyond the reef! I should’ve burned those boats a long time ago.
