QUEEN RITA (Female, Mezzo Soprano) - The alluring, powerful ruler of Wongo, determined to fulfill the dictates of Wongo Law. She is attracted to Captain Ric, and though she longs to follow her heart, she suppresses this emotion, refusing to let it compromise what she sees as her greater duty.

WONGETTES (5 Females, Soprano, Mezz Soprano or Alto) - A Chorus of fierce but feminine women, loyal to the Queen and their Wongo sisters, but at the same time, very curious about men.

RIC RODGERS (Male, Baritone/Tenor) -The handsome and heroic but sometimes uptight Captain of a space cargo ship. He is ambitious, suspicious and out to prove himself, but isn't as cool or confident as he thinks.

LOUIE LA FEVER (Male, Baritone) - The ship's overweight, impulsive, blue collar First Mate. A bumbling, gluttonous fool who is quick to blame others. He is a legend in his own mind when it comes to imagining how much the women of Wongo want him.
