ETHNICITY: All Ethnicities
Veronica Sawyer: Female, 18-30 to play 17. She burns to be both cool and kind, but doesn’t know yet how to be both at the same time. Fierce sense of right and wrong, keen sense of ironic humor. Thinks she's an old soul, but she's still innocent enough to be blindsided by love/hormones (or shocked by cruelty). Voice: high belting required, up to high G, high Ab preferable. Must have dynamic and stylistic range.
JD: Male, 18-30 to play 17. He is darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive, charming on the outside yet very damaged on the inside. Keen smarts and strong inventive comedy. Voice: strong, confident, belt to at least and Ab, A preferable; wide emotional range.
Heather Chandler: Female, 18-30 to play 17. Richest, hottest, most magnetic, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel - no fear, no patience, no mercy. Voice: strong belt to D, Eb preferred.
Heather McNamara: Female, 18-30 to play 17. Beautiful, innocent, stupid, can be mean on command if Heather Chandler orders it, but actually quite vulnerable and fearful. Voice: strong belt to D, Eb preferred.
Heather Duke: Female, 18-30 to play 17. Whipping-girl of the three Heathers. When she finally becomes Queen Bee she wields power like a bulldozer. Voice: strong belt to C, D preferred.
Martha Dunstock: Female, 18-30 to play 17. Nicknamed “Martha Dumptruck,” the opposite of hot, confident, or popular. Huge and beautiful soul, optimistic even in the face of rejection. Voice: strong belt to E or F, wide vocal expression.
Ram Sweeney: Male, 18-30 to play 17. Linebacker. Big. Insensitive to others. Ruled by appetites. Voice: Strong Baritone, belt to G, some falsetto useful.
