Casting Details: 4F/4M main characters and 4/5F, 4/5M ensemble
Robbie Hart (Male, Vocal range top C6 bottom B3): The lead singer of a band. Handsome and charismatic. A truly “nice”; guy that has the classic lead singer aura and personality. Also a bit of a dreamer. In love with love until Linda leaves him at the altar and breaks his heart.

Sammy (Male, Vocal range top A5 bottom C4): The bass player in the wedding band and one of Robbie's best friends. A total guy’s guy, but beneath his pretending to love being a bachelor he is actually in love with Holly.
George (Male, Vocal range top A5 bottom C4): The wedding band’s keyboardist and one of Robbie’s best friends. Sensitive and somewhat flamboyant. The opposite to Sammy’s super guy attitude.
Julia Sullivan (Female, Vocal range top F5 bottom G3): 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.
Holly (Female, Vocal range top E5 bottom A3): Julia’s cousin, very uninhibited and forward with comedic timing. Flirtatious 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. Based on Madonna of the 80’s.
Glen Guglia (Male, Vocal range top B5 bottom D4): Julia’s fiancé. A Wall Street broker. He is rich, shallow, and materialistic. Constantly tries to buy Julia’s love with money. He is a bit of a womanizer, slimy.
Rosie (Female, Vocal range top C5 bottom C4): Robbie’s grandmother who raised him. Motherly but adventurous and always trying to remain “hip” despite her age. Comedic Timing. Can Rap.
Linda (Female, Vocal range top D5 bottom A3): Robbie’s fiancé who leaves him at the altar. Keeps Robbie around as a back-up plan. Is more in love with the idea of Robbie being a rock star than she actually is with Robbie. Trashy, selfish. Pat Benatar type.
