Funny, gawky, nervous. Warm and hopeful. Very awkward except when dancing. Mezzo.

Newly married to Al, it’s her first audition and she’s really nervous. Excellent dancer. Can’t sing (during her song) but performer should sing well for everything else. She’s one of the youngest auditioning. Awkward, anxious, hilarious. Mezzo.

From Missouri. Enthusiastic, cool, and very funny. Likeable, laid back, and a strong dancer. Tenor with strong falsetto.

One of the oldest dancers on the line. Sheila is of similar age to Cassie and Zach.

The director and choreographer of the show for which the dancers are auditioning. He is a stage veteran and thus can be curt and harsh, but he is revealed to be a caring and empathetic man who truly grows to care about these dancers. Previously had a relationship with Cassie, before she left to pursue a career in LA. Open to non-dancers, but dance background a major plus.
