Robbie's grandmother who raised him.  Motherly but adventurous and always trying to remain "hip" despite her

age.  Comedic Timing.  Can Rap.

Linda - Gender: Female.  (Vocal range top: D5 bottom: A3):

Production Synopsis:

When love gets loud, life gets hilarious.  Big hair.  Big feelings.  Bigger laughs.  This high-energy musical takes you straight back to the 80s with a love story that’s equal parts sweet and zany.  Wedding singer Robbie Hart is everybody’s favorite life-of-the-party… until his own love life crashes and burns.  Will he get back up, belt it out, and find the real thing?  Only one way to find out.  A feel-good musical that’s all heart, all humor, and all kinds of fun.  Rated PG13.
