The series follows Sonny, her mother and new friends in Los Angeles and at the studio.
Plot[]
The series features a girl named Sonny Munroe from Wisconsin, who moves w!. The series follows Sonny, her family and new friends in Hollywood and at the studio as Sonny will do her best to make new friends with the cast of the show, who all seem to like Sonny except for Tawni, because she does not want to share the spotlight with her. The show also revolves around So Random!s feud with MacKenzie Falls, a popular teen drama show which stars Chad Dylan Cooper. The series is almost a child-friendly version of 30 Rock, replacing writing for a sketch comedy with being on a sketch comedy. Also, in the pilot the cast of So Random! performs a bee sketch with costumes very similar to the ones used on Saturday Night Live, the show 30 Rock is based on. Now, the series is in its second season with the Channy relationship on the road.
Cast[]
- Sonny Munroe(Demi Lovato) is the newest cast member and a main character of So Random!. She was discovered on the internet. She is nice, caring and often a little goofy, and can be naive at times. She is from Middleton, Wisconsin. Sonny is friends with Nico, Grady, and Zora. She sometimes gets along with Tawni, although at other times she does not. She had a love/hate relationship with Chad but in the later episodes she gets to know him more and develops a crush on him. They began dating in "Falling for the Falls" only to break up in "Sonny With a Choice".
- Tawni Hart (Tiffany Thornton) is a very spoiled and snobby cast member of So Random! and can possibly be Sonny's new best friend. She dislikes Sonny at first because she doesn't want to share her spotlight, but later accepts her. Tawni hates people to know that she thinks Sonny is cool. She is all about fashion and wants everyone to do what ever she says . Tawni is probably the only one who knows about Chad's feelings for Sonny. Tawni becomes less spoiled and snobby than Season 1 after Chad and Sonny start dating.
- Chad Dylan Cooper (Sterling Knight) The teen heartthrob of Tween Weekly and MacKenzie Falls, and also the archenemy of Sonny and So Random!. He is also known as Chad Dylan Goldfarb. Though most people accuse him for being a jerk, other people think of him as cute and popular. As recently seen, he has shown his softer side to Sonny, and even the rest of the So Random! cast by helping them all break up Marshall and Bitterman. He is often seen teasing and arguing with Sonny but in most scenes where they are together alone he shows his softer side to her and shows that he cares about her. He's also a movie star, and a lot of times makes everything about him. He looks down on So Random!, a comedy show, unlike his show, MacKenzie Falls, which is a drama. He often refers to So Random! as chuckle city. MacKenzie Falls has the cool crew in Hollywood. Most of the times he wears the MacKenzie Falls uniform , but in other scenes he's seen wearing casual clothes. He had a love/hate relationship with Sonny. While he has a major crush on her and can't bear to see her with someone else, he seems unable to tell her how he feels, as seen in "Sonny With a Chance of Dating." They began dating in "Falling for the Falls" only to break up in "Sonny With a Choice".
