Drew Boley - Vocal Range: Bb2 - D5 Male lead. Playing age between 18 and 30(ish). A failed rock star who is currently working as an occasional barman and toilet cleaner at Dupree’s Bourbon Room. Drew is a romantic lead with Sherrie, has big songs who needs a very strong rock vocal with a powerful top end and the ability to dance.
Sherrie	Bottom of page 84-85 Page 47	"Waiting For A Girl" bars 16-44 #6a "Harden My Heart" bars 1-32 #10
Sherrie Christian - Vocal Range G3-F5 Female lead. Playing age between 18 and 25(ish). Aspiring actress from a small US town who has moved to the big city to make it big. Sherrie is the other romantic lead with Drew and has to have a strong rock vocal and strong dance abilities. Additionally, as Sherrie takes a job at the Venus Club, you must be comfortable appearing on stage in underwear and participating in both ‘sexy’ and ‘strip club’ dances.
Lonny	Page 1 Page 99	"I Can’t Fight This Feeling Any Longer" bars 1-31 #17
Lonny Barnett - Vocal Range D3-A4 Male lead. Playing age between 25 and 40. Lonny is the sound engineer at the Bourbon Room but also serves as narrator for the production. He needs a strong rock vocal and exceptional comic timing. Lonny breaks the 4th wall repeatedly and addresses/interacts with the audience directly throughout the show.
Dennis	Page 99	"I Can’t Fight This Feeling Any Longer" bars 1-31 #17
Dennis Dupree - Vocal Range D3-G4 Male supporting. Playing age 45+. Dennis owns the Bourbon Room. He is an ex rocker who is still living his best rock life running the club. Solid vocals and good comic timing are essential. Dennis is a real character role.
Stacee	Page 47	"Wanted Dead or Alive" bars 33-56 #7
Stacee Jaxx - Vocal Range C3- B4 (Eb5) Male lead. Playing age 30-40. Stacee Decided to leave his successful hair/metalrock band to try it solo. Self-important, confident, intriguing in all the wrong ways, the ultimate bad boy he is all about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Great strong comedic timing and strong rock tenor voice.
Justice	Page 72	"Pour Some Sugar On Me" bars 1-19 #13
Justice Charlier - Vocal Range G3-Db5 Female supporting. Playing age 40+. Justice owns the Venus strip club and is ‘madam’ for a whole club full of strippers. It’s likely that Justice was a former stripper who has left that life behind but now runs the club. Solid, soulful vocals coupled with strong stage presence, as Justice needs to be able to command the stage.
Hertz	Pages 111-112	"Keep on Lovin You" bars 12-23 #18a
Hertz Klinemann - Vocal range F3-A4 Male supporting. Playing age 45+. Hertz is a German businessman who is all about flattening the strip to push forward the development of a shopping mall. He is conservative, probably Republican (if he was American) who has no time for anything other than money (including his son, Franz). Needs a German accent with a good vocal.
Franz	Page 106	“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” bars 1-18 #16
Franz Klinemann - Vocal Range Db3-A4 (E5 Falsetto) Male supporting. Playing age 20-30. Franz is Hertz’s German son (he’s not gay, he’s just German). A good comic role that needs to bounce well off Regina. Franz also has a big musical/dance number where he will also end up in lycra(!) and, potentially, needs to have an excellent high range vocally.
Regina	Page 106	"We’re Not Gonna Take It" bars 1-19 #5
Regina - Vocal Range A3-Eb5 Female supporting. Playing age 20-35. Regina is a hippy and activist. She starts the show as the Chief Planning Officer working for the Mayor, but after the Mayor sells out the strip to the Germans, she leads the protest movement against the flattening of the strip. Good comic timing with a good vocal, Regina needs to be a strong dancer who is not afraid to appear on stage in lycra. A real character role.
Ensemble	None	“Here I Go Again” bars 1 - 38 #11
