Character Breakdowns
Hiccup
Singing Role
Vocal Range: G3 - F5
Son of Viking chief Stoick, wants to be a fierce Viking like his father, but he simply… isn’t.

Hiccup is sincere and always wants to do the right thing, even when it’s hard or goes against the grain.
Astrid
Singing Role
Vocal Range: G#3 - D5
Everything a Viking recruit should be: strong, fast, and tough. She idolizes Stoick and wants to hunt Dragons, perfecting every part of her training. Astrid is confident and charismatic but not arrogant, and she takes training very seriously.
Stoick
Singing Role
Vocal Range: Ab3 - C5
The Viking chief and main dragon slayer. Though he may come across as harsh, he’s only hard on Hiccup because he wants to keep him safe. He knows the more well-trained his recruits are, the safer the whole village will be.
Gobber

The village blacksmith and helps train the Recruits. While he’s a little bit goofy, he knows how to deal with Dragons and is an excellent teacher.

Adult Vikings with a few lines and small solos.

He's doing his best. Like Hiccup, he’s not the most naturally gifted Viking, but he tries.
Gronckles
Non-Singing Roles
