9 roles
The interactive narrator. Karnak is an advanced precognition machine whose proclivity towards predicting the deaths of carnival guests caused his owners to set him permanently in Family Fun Mode. This had dire consequences. Will be in a small box, seated onstage the entire show. Catchphrase: “Your lucky number is seven. You will soar to great heights. Be sure to ride the cyclone.” (Non-singer, Non-dancer)
The “most successful girl in town.” President of both the St. Cassian High School student council and chamber choir, Ocean is a brilliant go-getter (or chronic over-achiever if you ask her peers) who strives for excellence in everything she does. Catchphrase: “Democracy rocks!” (Soprano, dancer)
The “angriest boy in town.” A teenager recently adopted form Ukraine by parents who thought they were getting a toddler, Mischa maintains a strained relationship with his new family and reputation for angry outbursts. Catchphrase: “my gangsta persona is just armor to conceal that I am a naked child wandering through the wilderness, holding in my hands my wounded fragile heart.” (Baritone/Bass, Dancer)
The “most imaginative boy in town.” Suffering from childhood trauma and a self imposed mute, Ricky copes by maintaining a vivid inner life of fantasy and self-expression. Catchphrase: “Level up!” (Baritone, Dancer)
A mysterious, emotionless, deeply creepy headless girl who appears beside the Choir in limbo. Must wear disturbing makeup and might wear black contacts. Catchphrase: “When the lioness has children, she stops making love to the lion. The lion gets jealous, sometimes so jealous he eats the children. You’d think this would upset the lioness; far from it. They make love again like the children never existed. I find that idea terrifying.” (Soprano, Dancer)
The “nicest girl in town,” Constance is a kind, considerate girl whose genuine affection for her hometown puts her at odds with her peers. Catchphrase: “Sorry!” (Alto, Dancer)
A giant rat who plays the bass. Must wear a mask. Will also double as a pit singer.
