Welcome to Heartsville USA, a wholesome, patriotic town in a parallel universe where the captain of the chess team is a sex symbol, the quarterback is a nerd, and everyone happens to be LGBTQ.—well, almost everyone. Enter Zanna, a magical, musical fairy who, with the power to bring true love to one and all!

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN -
ALL ROLES OPEN. Non-Union/Non-Paid: We are in search of multi-ethnic and talented cast of actors, singers, and dancers for this production. We are looking to represent as diverse a representation of the LGBT+ community as possible and will be casting 8 individuals as listed below. All performers must be able to portray seniors in high school.
ZANNA (tenor/baritone to high G): the heart and soul of Heartsville; a hip, fun-loving gender non-conforming matchmaker, driven to make the world better, even if they don't always fully think through their choices
STEVE (baritone to Eb above middle C): the new guy in town; All-American high school football hunk, but self-effacing and shy; hoping desperately to fit in, his dreams will be alternately fulfilled and shattered.
KATE (belt to C, plus a few other higher notes mixed in): sweet, innocent over-achiever who, like Steve, is not quite prepared to have her world thrown upside-down.
MIKE (tenor/baritone to high G): all-around cool guy; captain of the chess team, which makes him king of the school, but with a humble appreciation of the simple joys in life, like finding that one special guy to settle down with.
ROBERTA (belt to high F): tough as nails on the outside, a hopeless romantic on the inside; perennially unlucky in relationships, she heroically, and comically, never gives up her pursuit of true love.
TANK (tenor/baritone to high G): Zanna's sidekick, and the school DJ; somewhere between nerdy and ultra-cool, he's also hopelessly in love with Zanna; doubles as DINER CUSTOMER 2 and also TEX.
CANDI (belt to C, plus a few other higher notes mixed in): the school's narrow-minded busy-body, the one you love to hate; doubles as DINER CUSTOMER 1 and LORETTA.
ARVIN (baritone to Eb; should have a few low notes as well): Candi's browbeaten sidekick; a nice guy who just sort of goes with the flow; doubles as DINER CUSTOMER 3 and also BRONCO
