CAST MEMBERS
Kristy is a talented and seasoned performer who never quite achieved stardom. She's intelligent; possesses a sense of humor; has love and empathy for humanity; appears strong but is actually vulnerable and very sensitive. Her dream to become a star remains intact.
Diva is a member of the girl group the Sundettes, but as leader of the group she tends to dictate the other two girls with her finger snaps and "bell ringing" modus operandi. While she might seem to have a strong sense of self, at her core she feels she is better than the other girls.
Sweetie, as her name suggests, is a sweet person. Her emotional honesty and kindness is exploited by others. As a member of the the Sundettes, she is constantly hounded by its leader: Diva. Sweetie eventually puts an end to Diva's harassment without losing her sunny disposition.
Sassy is a nice person and helpful (which is taken advantage of) within the girl group, the Sundettes. Sassy possesses a sharp tongue and is somewhat cunning and self-adsorbed. She wants to have things done her way and has ambitions of becoming the Sundettes' leader.
Tony is a handsome, charismatic, dignified man and a U.S. soldier. He was involved in a past relationship with Kristy. Tony is the ultimate gentleman: always proper, completely chivalrous, and extremely attentive. Even though Tony is in his fifties, his appearance defies his age.
Romeo is ladies man: handsome, suave, charming. Most of the time, he has a big grin of mischief. He is preoccupied with women and constantly chases after them with blind abandonment. When women become serious with Romeo, he runs away. He avoids falling in love.
Frank is bi-lingual; at times he will speak Spanish. He is talented and intelligent, but also haughty, with an air of superiority. He often corrects people while acting as if he knows everything. He boasts about his Puerto Rican roots (from his mother’s side of his family).
Chaz is a charmer who breaths life into any party with his pranks and devilish insults which he delivers with humor. People are usually amused by Chaz's absent of malice behavior, but he does get on peoples nerves which he dismisses until the tables are turned on him.
Ben is a nice guy who endures harassment from Chaz who is constantly mocking and belittling him. Ben suffers from low self-esteem and is easily influenced; he is viewed as a pushover person. But Ben is actually quite smart, possessing a vast knowledge of historical events.
~ Edwin triples as announcer ~ Michael is jovial but flighty (as in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Carlton); he's always spinning around, dancing, laughing, and bringing excitement to the dressing room and the stage. He's not taken seriously by the band, but is embraced.
Lucky has a country charm and an outgoing personality. He speaks with authority but is malaprop-prone; he misuses words, as in "dance a flamingo" instead of flamenco, or "Jesus healed leopards" instead of lepers. His confidence when speaking adds to the amusement.
