Cast Breakdowns
Dig Deep- Cast Breakdown
Book, Music, & Lyrics by Michelle Uyemura
Rocky- Worm & Narrator. He is is wise and thoughtful, (solid as a rock) but Maybelle makes him a bit nervous. She is, after all, a bird.
Maybelle- Bird who ironically “worms” her way into being a narrator, too. She has some “Mae West” in her. She enjoys teasing Rocky and even though she wouldn’t eat him (probably) she enjoys letting him think she would. She has very little patience with Jewel.
Jewel- The Pretty Flower. She is selfish and self absorbed but from ignorance rather than malice towards others.
Adam- The Plain Flower. He seems resigned with his lot in life but there is a vein of anger running underneath.
Bernie- A misunderstood Skunk. Charming and a quick wit, he is fed up with being ostracized.
Sadie- Little girl
Momma- Sadie’s mom
Bees- swarm around Jewel
Bernice Skunk- Bernie’s spouse
Blaze, Bonnie, & Barret- Bernie & Bernice’s kits
Company members
