Naive, handsome, pure and optimistic. You are the titular character of the operetta. You believe that everything that happens is for the best which could be the most optimistic thing about you or your biggest downfall!

Candide

You are the beautiful and noble Cunegonde! Love interest of Candide, Cunegonde is very spoiled and as a result tends to be a bit flighty and superficial. She means well, though, and is madly in love with Candide. Throughout the show she begins to see life for how it is and thus is slightly less cheerful at the show's conclusion.

Cunegonde

Brash. Bold. Resourceful. Whether it's attempting to seduce three Spanish dons for money or another off-the-wall tactic, this forward character comes to the aid of many of the characters throughout the show in some of the funniest ways.

The Old Lady

The rigid and intelligent professor and father figure to the four young characters in the show- Dr. Pangloss is the man who instills in his youth that everything that happens is for the best which MIGHT not be the best philosophy to cling to 100% of the time.

Dr. Pangloss

Paquette is the maid to the Baroness of Westphalia and is very good looking as well as seductive. She finds herself on the receiving end of a lot of romantic attention from Maximilian and Dr. Pangloss and definitely knows her way around... er... romantic endeavors!

Paquette

Cunegonde's brother is dashingly handsome... and he knows it. The vain Maximilian holds a torch for the beautiful and seductive Paquette and apparently is a rival in beauty to her when in drag (just ask the Governor of Cartagena.) Another interesting fun fact that despite being killed TWICE throughout the operetta, he remains alive at the end of the show. Now that's perseverance!

Maximilian
