Character Descriptions

Ren McCormack (Middle D to High C) Ren is seen as a young rebel always getting into trouble, but at heart he is an energetic young man who is dealing with the pain of his father’s absence. He emotes this pain through his quirky sarcasm and by dancing. Dancing a must! Sings solo and 3 part harmony

Reverand Shaw Moore (Baritone) Reverend Moore is the most powerful figure in Beaumont. He is a stern, strict, solemn man with a booming voice who runs the town with an iron fist. However he also has a tender side and is struggling with the loss of his son. (Singing in a more traditional musical theater than other characters). Sings solo and duet

Ariel Moore (Requires a High D) She is the preacher’s daughter. At first glimpse it would appear that she is the perfect girl; beautiful, perky, energetic. But look closer and you will find that she is her father’s worst nightmare. She is energetic, strong willed, sharp tongued, and aware of her sensuality. Think Rizzo from Grease but more mischevious than negative. Sings solo and 3 part harmony

Vi Moore (Mature Vocal Sound) The strong-willed preacher’s wife who holds the moral fiber of Beaumont in her upright stance. She feels she is losing her husband and daughter and doesn’t know what to do. She ultimately is responsible for holding her family together after its terrible loss. Sings a duet

Rusty (Low A to High F) Ariel’s friend. A bit of a ditz but knows everything about everybody. Sings solo and 3 part harmony

Willard Hewitt (Tenor) A simple country bumpkin with a warm heart and a big crush. He quickly befriends Ren and shows him the rules and regulations of living in Beaumont in exchange for Dance lessons. Sings solo and 3 part harmony

Ethel McCormack (Mature Vocal Sound) Ren’s mother. She is a strong willed, outspoken single parent who would do anything for her son. (Singing is more traditional musical theater than other characters). Sings a duet

Chuck Cranston (Tenor) A motorcycle riding, foul mouthed, leather wearing, trailer park product who takes one look at Ren and realizes that there’s only room for one bad boy in this town. He is dating the one girl that Ren obviously has a crush on, Ariel. Sings duet and 3 part harmony

Urleen (Alto) Ariel’s friend. The smart one of the group. Sings 3 part harmony

Wendy Jo (Alto) Ariel’s friend. Doesn’t say much but sure knows a lot about Beaumont and the town rules. Sings 3 part harmony
