Character breakdown:

Lonny Barnett
o Vocal Range: Tenor
o Character Summary: The narrator and comedic glue of the show, Lonny
is charismatic, witty, and a little raunchy. He often breaks the fourth wall
and is an over-the-top rocker with great comedic timing. Saxophone skills
a plus but not required.

Justice Charlier
o Vocal Range: Alto/Mezzo-Soprano
o Character Summary: The soulful, maternal owner of the Venus Club, a
strip club where Sherrie finds work. Justice has a big heart and becomes a
mentor figure to Sherrie.

Drew Boley
o Vocal Range: Tenor
o Character Summary: A young, ambitious rocker dreaming of stardom.
Sweet, earnest, and a bit naive, he falls in love with Sherrie and struggles
to navigate his dreams while keeping true to himself. Think "wannabe
rockstar with a heart of gold."

Dennis Dupree
o Vocal Range: Baritone/Tenor
o Character Summary: The laid-back, cool owner of The Bourbon Room,
where much of the action takes place. Dennis is a father figure to the
young rockers and a true believer in rock 'n' roll.

Sherrie Christian
o Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano
o Character Summary: A small-town girl with big dreams of making it in
Hollywood. Sherrie is sweet, determined, and optimistic, but her journey is
filled with heartbreak and self-discovery.

Hertz Klinemann
o Vocal Range: Baritone
o Character Summary: A German developer who plans to tear down The
Bourbon Room to build a modern strip mall. Stern and businesslike, he’s
the stereotypical "villain" with a comical twist.

Franz Klinemann
o Vocal Range: Tenor

o Character Summary: Hertz’s flamboyant and gentle son, who secretly
dreams of opening a confectionery shop. Franz has a big heart and
provides comic relief as he struggles to stand up to his father.

Mayor
o Vocal Range: Tenor
o Character Summary: The Mayor is a minor but pivotal character who
represents the local government in the story. Typically portrayed as a
pragmatic and somewhat opportunistic politician, the Mayor aligns with
Hertz Klinemann and supports the redevelopment plans for the Sunset
Strip, including tearing down The Bourbon Room.

Regina (pronounced Re-GY-na)
o Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano
o Character Summary: A spunky, activist city planner fighting against the
Klinemanns’ redevelopment plans. Regina is passionate, quirky, and full of
energy, often leading protest songs.

Stacee Jaxx
o Vocal Range: Tenor
o Character Summary: The egotistical, self-absorbed lead singer of the
fictional band Arsenal. He’s an over-the-top rockstar stereotype who
exudes sex appeal and arrogance but has a dark, selfish side.

Joey Primo
o Vocal Range: Tenor/High Baritone
o Character Summary: A secondary antagonist, Joey is a rising rockstar
who takes over as the new lead singer of Arsenal when Stacee Jaxx goes
solo. He is cocky, flashy, and full of swagger, embodying the stereotypical
"bad boy" rocker vibe. Joey adds tension to the story with his unapologetic
ambition and attitude.

Ja’keith
o Vocal Range: Tenor
o Character Summary: small supporting role. Ja’keith is a fast-talking
agent looking to manage Drew.
