Deloris Van Cartier [CAST] An aspiring performer, trying to find both fame and a place in the world. When forced to hide in the convent, she initially refuses to embrace her new lifestyle but learns to embrace it when she works with the choir. Loud-mouthed, and sassy, but ultimately caring. Female, 25-35 yrs old Range: E3 - F#5
Mother Superior The head of the convent, sarcastic and a bit stiff. Extremely protective about keeping her sisters away from the outside world, which puts her in direct opposition to Deloris and her musical teachings. Female, 50-70 yrs old Range: D3 - E5
Sister Mary Robert A postulant, abandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken, but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life. Female, 16-25 yrs old Range: F#3 - A5
Sister Mary Patrick A nun of the convent. Consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable. Female, 35-50 yrs old Range: G3-E6
Sister Mary Lazarus A nun of the convent and the head of the choir. Rather dead pan and the least welcoming of any of the nuns, but she gets caught up in Deloris's soul music. Female, 50-70 yrs old Range: F3 - B4
Monsignor O'hara One of the heads of the convent. Constantly concerned with financial matters, though soul music surprisingly puts him in a different mood. Male, 45-60 yrs old Range: E3 - G4
Curtis A club owner, notorious gangster, and Deloris's boyfriend. Cocky and controlling, always on the verge of violence. Male, 30-40 yrs old Range: A2 - Ab4
Eddie Souther The desk chief at the Philadelphia police station and a high school classmate of Deloris who helps get her into hiding. Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero. Male, 25-35 yrs old Range: Ab2 - B4
Tj Curtis's nephew and one of his thugs. Deft and cognizant of the fact, constantly in a state of ignorant bliss. Male, 16-30 yrs old Range: Db3 - Eb5
Joey One of Curtis's thugs. Believes himself to be quite the ladies' man. Male, 30-40 yrs old Range: Bb2 - Eb5
Pablo One of Curtis's thugs. A natural follower, constantly speaks in Spanish. Male, 25-40 yrs old Range: C4 - F5
Sister Mary Martin-Of-Tours A nun of the convent. Clearly in her own world, but has her moments of surprising clarity. Female, 40-60 yrs old Speaking Role
Sister Mary Theresa A nun of the convent, the oldest of the group. Decrepit at a glance, but secretly packs a punch. Female, 60-70 yrs old Speaking Role
Michelle One of Deloris's back-up singers. Lippy and always quick with a retort. Female, 20-30 yrs old Range: Bb3 - F5
Tina One of Deloris's back-up singers. A little thick and naive. Female, 20-30 yrs old Range: Ab3 - F5
Ernie One of Curtis's thugs. Initially thought to be a mindless yes-man, he turns out to be an undercover police informant. Male, 25-35 yrs old Speaking Role
Ensemble Nuns; Bar Denizens (Bar Patron, Waitress, Pool Player, Drag Queen); Homeless People; Fantasy Dancers

FOOTLOOSE One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
