7 roles
A tough, streetwise kid who is vulnerable when she fears she might lose what has become most important to her: a newfound “family” that loves her. She exhibits independent, needy, maternal, and hopeful qualities. The part requires an actress who can act motherly, independent, overwhelmed, and hopeful. She should be strong vocally and musically, and be able to light up the stage in Tomorrow. Vocally, she needs to be a “belter” with a solo-quality voice and a range from alto to mezzo-soprano.
