Help with breakdown of male roles

Hi

Our society recently selected tKaI and my memory of the film is kind of hazy. Obviously there is the King and the children but as a 36 year old guy are there any other parts for men in the show other than Guard #6?

Thanks in advance.
Salome

in order of size

King mongut of Siam 40s-up

The Kralaholme- the King's prime minister. very protective,very crafty. 30s-up

LunTha- Burmese lover of tuptim 20s.

Sir Edward Ramsey- Anna's former boyfreind. a british ambassador. 30s-50s.

Phar Alak- any age. the King's lackey.

Thanks Salome - do you have any idea of vocal ranges for the parts?

Or if you know where any of this stuff be found it'd be great if you could point me in the right direction.

Cheers

the King is a batitone. very easy middle range.

Lun Tha is a tenor.

the other roles are non singing.

Thank you both - that's a big help.

The King has a ridiculously simple vocal role. E3-E4 I Believe.

Lun Tha isn't tough either, kinda baritenor-y.
