[MOTHER SUPERIOR] female, mid 40s+, any race/ethnicity. The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings. Strong, unwavering mezzo voice. D3 to E5.
[EDDIE SOUTHER] male, mid 20s to mid 30s. The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding.

[SISTER MARY PATRICK] female, late 20s to mid 40s, any race/ethnicity. A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable. Upbeat, corny, fun - she is a loyal sister and head cheerleader, always ready for an adventure and a new life experience. Has a strong belt and legit voice.
[SISTER MARY LAZARUS] female, 40s-60s+, any race/ethnicity. A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather deadpan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris's soul music. Strong belt and legit a plus, but more importantly, able to rap and be very funny. F3 to B4
