Next Thing You Know is the story of four New Yorkers as they laugh, love and drink their way through the big questions that face all young dreamers who wake up in the city that never sleeps. Does marrying a really nice guy mean you're settling down or just settling? Does taking a nine-to-five equal giving up or growing up? Does a decade in the city break you down or break you in?

Character Descriptions:
Waverly - A woman in her late 20s. Actress who tends bar to make ends meet. Has struggled to build a career for herself as a performer since arriving in the city. Now has a non-performing day-job she loves, and a man she adores - but when they both look for her to move to the next level, it scares her to death. (Belter up to F5)

Lisa - A woman in her late 20s. Waverly's BFF. She is a lesbian, who, not having found the right woman in New York, is thinking about leaving the city for the West Coast. (Belter up to F5)

Darren - A man in his late 20s. Brooding and talented yet charming writer who dreams of settling down, while still pursuing his artistic endeavors. Thoughtful and loving guy, but at times very self-involved and distracted. Struggles to balance the life he wants with the woman he loves. (Baritone with falsetto)

Luke - A man in his late 20s. Charismatic playboy who has everything he could ever want, but has a lot of growing up to do. A man-child, he has no intention of settling down - until a woman sneaks into his heart, and he's forced to decide between the dreams of a young cad or the life of a man. (Tenor up to C#)
