Set to the soundtrack of a generation, this funny, heartfelt new jukebox musical follows four friends who meet freshman year of college and vow to change the world, and to be there for each other… always. Created by the writers of hit TV shows like “The Nanny” and Off-Broadway’s Under My Skin, this World Premiere rock ’n’ roll musical is a timely story about the choices we make, the trials, triumphs, and turning points that define a lifetime – and the one thing that matters most – somebody to love. Songs include “Dance to the Music,” “Call Me,” “Some Kind of Wonderful,” “Feel Like Making Love,” “Locomotive Breath,” and “Taking It to the Street,” as well as the title song.
(Female, ages 20–60) A passionate dancer who lights up every room she enters. “Every freshman guy’s dream”—but far more complex than that surface impression. Sarah is bold, intoxicating, and determined to live life to the fullest, wherever it may lead. Requires charisma, emotional depth, and strong movement/dance ability. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
THIS ROLE IS ALREADY CAST - WILL CONSIDER FOR UNDERSTUDY ONLY. (Male, ages 20–60) A naturally gifted guitarist with big rock-star energy. Cocky, charismatic, and absolutely convinced he’s destined for greatness. Beneath the swagger is someone trying to fill a real void and capable of genuine vulnerability. Fame and attention might not be enough; he is searching for love. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
(Male, ages 20–60) A humble, self-effacing, classical flautist, with the simple dream of becoming a band teacher. Kind, grounded, and quietly brilliant. Joe is also super talented and can rock if needed. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
(Female, ages 20–60) A whip-smart woman of color determined to get into Harvard Law School and change the world. Driven, principled, highly intelligent, incisive and fiercely loyal. She binds Nick, Joe, and Sarah into a “verbal contract” of lifelong friendship. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
(Female, ages 20–60) A strong-willed, no-nonsense ROTC student who grows into a disciplined, devoted Army officer. Strong and with a huge heart. Forced to hide her sexuality in order to serve, Stella carries the weight of duty quietly and with dignity. She eventually meets and marries Rachel. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
(Male, ages 20–60) The “least cool cat on the Venice Beach boardwalk”—earnest, awkward, unexpectedly steadfast. Despite appearances, he convinces Nick to let him be his manager and proves to be exactly the partner Nick needs. A loyal, quirky, grounded presence who stands by his friend through the chaos of rock-and-roll fame. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
(Female, ages 18–30) Sarah’s daughter. Energetic, charismatic, and absolutely her mother’s child. A spark of joy and emotional truth who bridges generations of the story. VOCALS: ROCK, POP.
