Disney’s Moana, Jr. Cast List

Hi everyone!! I know that we say the same thing each year but each year the casting process gets harder and harder and harder. We had an unbelievable amount of talent that came out. We want to thank everyone that took the time to audition. Auditions were a little bit different this year and I wasn’t there but watching all the videos, you all did a fabulous job and our decisions were NOT easy! We hope that anyone who did not get a role this year will keep trying and that we will see you back at auditions next year!!

For those of you who are in the cast, congratulations!!! I am really looking forward to working with all of you!! Please request to be added to the Facebook page “Hard Road Moana Jr. Cast & Crew” by Monday, May 10th. This is a private group and only parents, guardians and kiddos will be added.

Please know that if you are listed under ‘Ensemble’ you will be in multiple scenes throughout the show and will be singing in almost all the songs. Some of you are assigned parts that will have lines and/or solos.

Now, if you are NOT willing to accept your role, please send a private message on Facebook Messenger to the director(that’s me 🙂 ), GENTRY FIFER NESSEL, no later than Sunday evening, May 9th.
