BREAKDOWN
Cher
Beverly Hills High School student. Beautiful, wealthy and psychotically optimistic. She has an active social life and a keen sense of fashion but her main focus is caring for her father and improving everyone's lives. Pop/rock soprano beltress who knows her way around a straight tone…vocally she’s equal parts Gwen Stefani and Linda Perry. Must belt to E5. Very strong mover; PRINCIPAL; OFFER OUT
Dionne
Cher's best friend and partner in crime. Regal and intelligent. Has a long term relationship with Murray. They are a teenage old married couple. Lives in a world between R&B & pop/rock – she’s a little Des’ree and a little bit Natalie Imbruglia. Belts to E5. Strong dancer; THIS CHARACTER IS AFRICAN AMERICAN; PRINCIPAL
Murray
Wealthy, educated and articulate, which he tries to hide by acting like a Rap star with street cred. Fights with Dionne constantly, but is totally devoted to her. King of the vocal interjection, he’s equal parts Usher. R. Kelly and Sir Mix-A-Lot. Baritone to G4, strong falsetto a plus. Strong dancer; THIS CHARACTER IS AFRICAN AMERICAN; PRINCIPAL
Tai
A New York transfer. Insecure about being in the Beverly Hills environment. Has less money and social skills. Looks up to Dionne and Cher. Very suggestible in matters of the heart, but has real affection for Travis. Vocally she’s Lisa Loeb meets Jill Sobule. Belts to C5. Very strong mover; PRINCIPAL; OFFER OUT
Travis
Stoner and skater. Hasn't got a mean bone in his body and doesn't think anyone else does. Loves Tai. Vocally a little bit Mark Oliver Everett (The Eels) & a bit Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies) if he were a tenor. Tenor to C5. Very strong mover; PRINCIPAL; OFFER OUT
Josh
College freshman and Cher's ex-stepbrother. He's going through an idealistic and intellectually curious phase (which will probably be more than a phase). He has history with Cher and they have a comfortably antagonistic relationship. Vocally he’s equal parts Tal Bachman & Gregg Alexander (New Radicals). Tenor to D5. Very strong mover; PRINCIPAL
