7 roles

Ren McCormackMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Sarcastic, charismatic, lonely but alive. Though he tries to hide it, Ren cares very deeply about what people think of him. He craves connection and excitement. Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Ren doesn’t see the best in people at first – unless he’s looking at Ariel. Vocal Range: D3-C5 Reference Artists: Kenny Loggins, Prince, Bryan Adams

Ariel MooreFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Ambitious, compassionate, scared but alive. Ariel sees everything and wants to ease the pain of everyone around her; though it isn’t helping with her own grief. She walks through life restlessly, like a frayed wire, and it seems Ren is the only person who isn’t afraid of getting shocked. Vocal Range: G3-Eb5 Reference Artists: Bonnie Tyler, Heart, Pat Benatar

RustyFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

An immediate friend to all and a shot of espresso. Rusty has never met a person she didn’t like, but none as much as her best friend Ariel and her hopeful boyfriend, Willard. She lives a big life wherever she is and works as hard as she plays. Vocal Range: A3-F#5 Reference Artists: Whitney Houston, Laura Branigan, Olivia Newton-John

Willard HewittMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Short-tempered, kind-hearted, cautiously eager; Willard becomes Ren’s best friend and has a crush on Rusty but he’s waaaaay too freaked out to do anything about it. Vocal Range: Bb2 – Ab4 Reference Artists: George Strait, Johnny Lee, Kenny Rogers

UrleenFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Bubbly, kind, book-smart; Urleen is more of a follower than a leader, but she’ll always be there when you need her Vocal Range: A3-D5 Reference Artists: The Pointer Sisters meets the Urchins from Little Shop of Horrors

Wendy JoFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Street-smart, a genuine friend, and a gossip; Wendy Jo wants the best boy for her friend Ariel. But she wouldn’t mind finding some love for herself along the way. Vocal Range: A3 – E5 Reference Artists: The Pointer Sisters meets the Urchins from Little Shop of Horrors

Chuck CranstonMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Slimy, crass, but ultimately insecure; Chuck is Ariel’s boyfriend. A bit of a showoff to overcompensate for his lack of friends; he often uses intimidation to get his way. Vocal Range: F#3 – B4 Reference Artists: Guns N’ Roses, Travis Tritt
