NBC’s ‘Rise’ TV Show: Meet The Cast Before The Series Premiere

NBC’s new ensemble drama “Rise” kicks off on Tuesday and will introduce audiences to a Pennsylvania town that gets rocked by the new school musical. It’s the characters who matter on a how like this, so let’s meet the “Rise” characters and cast members.

Lilette Suarez (Auli’i Cravalho) is a sophomore who has never done a school play before. Her successful audition for “Spring Awakening” brings plenty of trouble with the usual female lead in the musical.

Audiences will recognize Cravalho’s voice. She starred in Disney’s “Moana.”
