BREAKDOWN

SOMEBODY TO LOVE: A NEW MUSICAL

SYNOPSIS: 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.

Megan – Sarah’s warm, confident upbeat dancer, and Sarah's touring roommate.

Razzle and Dazzle - A pair of flirtatious, high-energy backup singers who live life at full volume. The embodiment of 80’s rock-and-roll excess - bold, sexy, mischievous, and always ready to stir up trouble. Strong movement skills required.

Monty – Sarah’s dance partner; a warm, supportive presence.

Eddie Karp – Slick record exec who signs Nick. Charming, opportunistic.
