Small Things That Could Have Been Added For Character Development

Have Johnny pickpocket or somehow take the id card of a Crystal Theatre employee to help them get back on set after they got fired (their ids wouldn’t have logically worked and it would hint towards Johnny’s past).

A scene of Ryan giving Johnny a fist bump or hug when the dancers arrive on set as well as Johnny texting Ryan to come to set (now marks them as on friendly standing).

Add Marcus stepping between Johnny and Jimmy when the cops are dragging him out and/or covering his head when the helicopter is above them in Sing 1 (shows that he is protective of his son).

Have Jimmy interrupt Porsha or correct her harshly when she makes a mistake when talking (now has their relationship be a bit more clearly rocky and a reason for Porsha to rebel).

Add more of a reaction from the younger troupe members (Johnny, Meena, and Ash) to things in Redshore like the buildings and decorations (it’s unlikely any of them have been in somewhere quite as expensive or elaborate before).

When Ash is trying to convince Buster that something is a bad idea, have her clearly nearly slip up and say dad instead of Buster (shows how close the two are).

Add scratches or tears in the wallpaper and paint to Ash and Lance’s apartment and it’s decorations in Sing 1 (shows how much they were realistically struggling with being able to find gigs and get money).

A hug between Johnny and Stan and Barry after Johnny hugs Marcus (now we know that Johnny is close with them as well and solidifies them as being uncle figures at least to him). 

When it shows Marcus and the others watching Johnny’s performance in Sing 2, have Stan be holding Marcus back a bit (Marcus and the others would have realized something was wrong by Johnny’s expressions alone and would show the gang’s dynamic a bit).
