9 roles
She is the pretty “girl next door” in looks and personality. Engaged to Glen, but falls in love with Robbie, and is conflicted as to who to choose. Empathetic, caring and brave. We root for her. VOCAL RANGE: Mezzo, G3 – F5.
He is the bass player in the band, and one of Robbie’s best friends. He’s hyper-masculine, pretending to love being a bachelor, but is actually in love with Holly. Guitar playing a plus, not required. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor, C4 –A5/Bb.
He is the keyboardist in the band, and one of Robbie’s best friends. Sensitive and flamboyant, he is the foil to Sammy’s super “guy” attitude. His whole look is very Boy George in the 80s. Keyboard playing a plus, not required. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor, C4 – A5.
She is Julia’s cousin, very uninhibited and forward. Sexually promiscuous and always up for a good time, but wants to be loved, and is looking for romantic fulfillment in all the wrong places. She is in love with Sammy. Has great comedic timing. VOCAL RANGE: Mezzo, A3 – E5. AN EXCELLENT DANCER.
Handsome and rich. Julia’s fiancé. Seems like a nice guy at first, but we discover he is a bit of a womanizer - slimy, shallow and materialistic. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor, D4 – B5
She is Robbie’s grandmother, who raised him. Motherly, but adventurous and always doing her best to remain “hip” despite her age. Spunky, great energy, fun, with great comedic timing. She sings and raps. VOCAL RANGE: Mezzo, C4 – C5.
She is Robbie’s fiancée, who jilted him, and didn’t show up for their wedding. She’s more in love with the idea of Robbie being a rock star than she is with Robbie. Trashy, oversexed. Looks like a female rock star. VOCAL RANGE: Alto/Mezzo, A3 – D5. AN EXCELLENT DANCER.
