NOTE: All roles listed as “teens” will be cast with older teens and young adults who can portray those ages. All the “Burger Palace Boys” are true “greasers” - super cool, D.A. haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers...or so they think. All the “Pink Ladies” (in the 1950’s this group would have been known as “bad girls”) are club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girl gang members that hang around with the “Burger Palace Boys.” “Burger Palace Boys” and Pink Ladies” require excellent musicianship. ALL cast members must show a strong instinctual grasp of 1950's (as opposed to contemporary) rock & pop vocal
styling.

 

Males:

 

DANNY ZUKO (plays
17-18) The leader of the “Burger Palace Boys”. Well-built, nice-looking, with an air of cool easy-going charm and sex appeal. Strong and confident. A “bad-boy” who really isn’t bad. Strong and versatile soloist & ensemble
singer, rock tenor to high B (falsetto to D). Must dance well.

 

KENICKIE (plays 17-18)
Second-in-command of the Burger Palace Boys, the toughest looking of the group, tattooed and surly. Avoids any show of softness. Off-beat sense of humor. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, bari-tenor low A to high A. Moves well.

 

DOODY (plays 16-17).
Small, boyish, open with a disarming smile and hero-worshipping attitude toward the other guys. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, high youthful tenor to high C (falsetto to E). Moves well. Guitar playing a plus. May double as TEEN ANGEL.

 

ROGER (plays 16-18)
The “anything-for-a-laugh” stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas. The class clown who enjoys putting other people on. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, rock tenor to high Bb. Moves well.

 

SONNY (plays 16-18)
Italian-looking, with shiny black hair and dark oily skin. A braggart and
wheeler-dealer who THINKS he’s a real lady-killer. Strong ensemble singer, bari-bass to low G, sings "doo-wap" style bass. Moves well.

 

EUGENE (plays 16-18).
The class valedictorian. Physically awkward, with weak eyes and high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug and pompous but gullible. The quintessential “nerd” with glasses, bow tie and all. Excellent comic skills. Competent ensemble singer, range flexible.

 

VINCE FONTAINE (any
vocal type 30-40) A typical “teen audience” radio disc jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast-talking with a good “announcer” sound. A veteran greaser who comes on to the high school girls. Competent ensemble singer, range flexible.

 

TEEN ANGEL The
character is a dream fantasy of Frenchy's who is a good-looking,
falsetto-voiced, Fabian or Frankie Avalon look-alike. A singer who would have caused girls to scream and faint back in 1958. Sex appeal. Strong soloist, rock tenor to high B (falsetto to E).

 

Females:

 

SANDY DUMBROWSKI
(plays 16-18) Danny’s love interest. Sweet, wholesome, naïve and cute like Sandra Dee in the “Gidget” movies; and who has the ability to transform into the hottest of Pink Ladies by show's end. Strong and versatile soloist &
ensemble singer, wide range mezzo to low A, belt to C#, comfortable mix to E. Excellent dancer.

 

BETTY RIZZO (plays
17-18) Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable. Italian, with unconventional good looks. Strong comic timing. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, wide range mezzo to low A, belt to C, comfortable mix/head to G. Moves well.

 

FRENCHY (plays 16-18)
A dreamer. Good natured and dumb. Heavily made-up, fussy about her appearance –particularly her hair. She can’t wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician. Strong comic timing. Strong ensemble singer, mezzo/alto, who dances or moves well.

 

MARTY (plays 16-18)
The “beauty” of the Pink Ladies. Pretty, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age whenever she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, mezzo-soprano to high G, moves well.

 

JAN (plays 16-18)
Chubby, compulsive eater. Loud and pushy with the girls but shy with boys. Excellent actress with comic timing. Strong soloist & ensemble singer, alto to low F.

 

PATTY (plays 16-18) A
typical cheerleader at a middle-class American public high school. Attractive, athletic and perky. Aggressive, sure of herself and given to bursts of enthusiasm. Catty, but in an All-American Girl sort of way. Strong ensemble singer, range flexible. Baton-twirling and gymnastics a plus.

 

CHA-CHA DiGREGORIO
(plays 17-19) a blind date at the dance. Slovenly, loud-mouthed and unattractive (NOT the sexpot portrayed in the film version). Takes pride in
being the “best dancer at St. Bernadette’s.” Strong soloist & ensemble singer, mezzo/alto to low A, belt to C. Must dance extremely well. Strong comic timing. All physical types encouraged.

 

MISS LYNCH (Age 35-60)
Stereotypical old maid English teacher. Excellent comic actress. Competent ensemble singer, range flexible. Movement a plus.
