COLIN CROSBY - 17, White. High school senior obsessed with all things Broadway. A budding gay icon, Colin has his sights set on winning a Jimmy Award. Plays Professor Higgins” in Pygmalion. Think a younger Gavin Creel, Aaron Tveit, or Derek Klena. Tall, leading man who would absolutely play Higgins in his later years.
ALIZÉ DORSEY - 18, African American. One of the infamous “Showtime” subway dancers, Alizé’s abilities go beyond what unsuspecting passengers see on their commute. She is tough, confident, and fearlessly committed to using her talent to make it. Has a high belt to E, and an ability to charm while standing her ground. NOTE: Role was inspired by Ariana DeBose.
MARVA WASHINGTON - 40s. GB’s mother. Juilliard trained, world renowned opera diva, and recording artist. Think young Kathleen Battle, Denyce Graves. An Audra McDonald type- or a Bryonha Marie Parham type if Mrs. Swenson is unavailable.

JAMAL - 17, Black. Another B-Boy. Fluid.
STEPH - 17, White. The stage manager of Pygmalion. She hates speaking in front of people, but will step up to the task when forced. An EMMA LORD voice.
