Buster Moon

Buster is determined to save his struggling theatre despite dwindling audiences, bad reviews and accumulating debt. While anyone else would have faced reality and switched careers, Buster has an unrelenting drive to succeed by any means necessary. Well-intentioned, he does have a habit of stretching the truth, which usually widens the hole he’s digging himself into. Nonetheless, he has an irresistible charm because his passion and optimism are utterly contagious.

Rosita

Rosita is a selfless homemaker and mother of 25 piglets who wants to remember what it feels like to be something other than a wife and mother. In the competition, she’ll be partnered with a Scandinavian pig named Gunter who instantly sees her inner diva and makes it his mission to unleash her. Their final performance will leave her family slack-jawed and appreciating her for the amazing talent that she is.

Gunter

Gunter is a boisterous dynamo and double threat singer and dancer who is partnered with Rosita to liven up her act. He feels most himself when rocking spandex dance leotards and encourages Rosita to loosen up and shed her inhibitions.

Johnny

Johnny is a soulful, Cockney gorilla whose beautiful singing voice and passion for music are in direct opposition to his role in his father’s bank robbing crew. He has always resisted a life of crime but has no choice as he was born into it. Johnny wants to be a singer but knows that his alpha-male father would disown him if he knew the truth. He keeps his involvement in the competition secret, straddling a double life as an aspiring singer by day and getaway driver by night.

Meena

Ash

Ash is a prickly teenage porcupine with a punk rock attitude. She auditions for the competition with her egotistical, unsupportive jerk of a boyfriend Lance, but only Ash makes it as a finalist. In rehearsals, her rebellious nature continually puts her at odds with Buster, who envisions her as a pop star princess while she wants to write her own authentic rock songs that reflect her unique style. She’ll have to go through a painful breakup, but in the end she’ll prove her integrity and sing on her own terms.

Mike

Eddie

Eddie is the black sheep of his wealthy family. After years of being spoiled and pampered, his parents have recently forced him to live in the pool house in a desperate attempt to make him more independent. There, he spends most days swimming, playing video games and begrudgingly doing mandatory household chores assigned to inspire maturity. Despite his rudderless existence, Eddie’s a lovable and loyal friend who will help Buster get back on his feet at his most desperate moment.
