I know the number of men and women but doesn't anyone have a list of characters with approximate ages, genders, and/or vocal parts?

This isn't quite what you were looking for, seeing as it was for the Deaf West production, but it should give you some idea.

But is it still the same production that R&H sells...minus the sign language?

Yes, although Deaf West changed some things (deleted Tom Sawyer's "Hand for the Hog" and put a shorter version of Huck's "Waitin' for the Light to Shine" earlier in the show).

Huck has always sung "Waitin' for the Light to Shine" early in the show before he does the gospel version in Act II.
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Oh, okay. I've seen Big River five times, but only the Deaf West version. Someone who was in a regional production a few years ago told me Deaf West had changed that part. Guess they were wrong. Thanks!
