Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Footloose is about a guy named Ren who moves to a small town in which dancing is outlawed!. Other principles include The Reverend, the one who outlawed dancing, and his daughter Ariel, the lead female with an abusive boyfriend who takes a lking to Ren!. Theirs also Ren's friend Willard, a cowboy, and his girlfriend Rusty!.

As far as who you should try out for!.!.!.!. you could shoot for Ariel, but keep in mind that she is a rather large part, and if you don't feel comfortable with leading lady status quite yet, she wouldn't be the best to shoot for!.

While it may be tempting, I wouldn't go for Rusty quite yet!. Rusty needs one huge set of pipes for her one number, "Let's Hear it For the Boy", and with minimal singing experience, I don't know if you'd be quite up to it yet!. Rusty's number is traditionally real belty, and if not sung properly can ruin your voice!.

Rusty has two friends who sing with her on another song!. I'd shoot for those two if you'renot going to look into Ariel!. They're larger than a chorus role in that they have a few scenes and a song of their own, but they're not the lead either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
