Hi everybody!
I just had a question about the musical, "All Shook Up". I was thinking about auditioning for a production of it, and I don't know much about it.
I was wondering...is it vital to the plot that Lorraine be African-American?
Sorry if this is a "duh!" question. I know almost nothing about the show.
I'd really appreciate any help/info that you can give me. Thanks so much!
God Bless,

Yes.
It is vital. The subplot's about acceptance.
