My high school is doing the musical "Pal Joey" and I heard a brief synopsis from our director, however it wasn't really enough for me to get a good idea of the characters I'll be auditioning for. Last year we did "Carnival!" and I had no idea how to portray Lily when I tried out, so this year I'm making sure that history doesn't repeat itself! :)

With no offense meant, but first to answer,,,YES.
It would seem that even at an age of being in high school one could relate to the fact that trying to secure a part in a play, might require research,,,much in the same way one studies to pass an exam? maybe I'm wrong?????????? NAH,,, I'm totally correct.
Certainly on the WWW there are Hundreds of links, in the form of resources, with material describing what you seek.General search///browser///keywords,,, IE: "Pal Joey"
To portray a character one must not only KNOW the character, but BECOME that character. One would hardly be able to do that, if one was ignorant of the play, or characters as they were presented and developed through the performance.
Good luck.

The character of Joey in the Broadway musical was much more conniving and cynical than in the Sinatra film version.

"Bread" was the first concert I ever went to, back in the day. It was awesome, at least what I remember about it; it was during the hippie era!
