Amy March (Soprano, 12 – 23) the youngest, a willful girl who is not content to be the “baby” of the family, pretentious, spoiled, and quite the firecracker. A woman able to play 12 and the grown up version.

Aunt March (Mezzo/Soprano, 45 – 60) the pretentious, crotchety, and difficult matriarch of the March family, widowed, wealthy, and willing to try anything to maintain her influence. A Strong character role.
