BREAKDOWN OF ROLES IN MEAN GIRLS

Cady – A new junior at North Shore High School, Cady grew up in Africa and was homeschooled by her wildlife biologist parents. She is warm, bright, and strong enough to take on The Plastics. Is the emotional heart of our story. Gender: female. Vocal range top: Gb5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Regina – Regina is the Queen Bee of the Plastics. When she shines her light on you, you feel like the most important person in the world. When that light goes cold, you want to die. She is regal, still, and “hot”, but at her most vulnerable moments, she is just a kid in over her head. Gender: female. Vocal range top: Gb5 Vocal range bottom: F#3

Janis – An “Art Freak” and social outcast, Janis is not afraid to be weird or make others uncomfortable. She paints herself as an objective observer, but, like so many of us, she longs to avenge the devastating events of eighth grade. Gender: female. Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3

Damian – Outgoing and an active member of the student activities committee, Damian is a fiercely loyal friend to Janis and they have the close rapport of a comedy team. Gender: male, Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: F2

Gretchen – One of the Plastics. Desperate to please Regina and to maintain her position in the Plastics, Gretchen is a nervous wreck. While her hair may be full of secrets, her fragility at times is heartbreaking. Gender: female. Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Karen – One of the Plastics. Although her intellect and personality never had a chance to develop, Karen is essentially kind, relaxed, and a generous laugher. Gender: female. Vocal range top: Gb5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Aaron – A cute boy with a good moral compass and a backbone. He’s not immune to all the female attention he gets, but he’s not going to let himself be a pawn in their chess game either. Broadway and pop tenor. Gender: male. Vocal range top: Bb4 Vocal range bottom: B2

Mrs. George/Ms. Norbury/Mrs. Heron – Mrs. Heron is Cady’s intellectual mom who can’t understand why her daughter is devolving before her eyes. Ms. Norbury is Cady’s world-weary Calculus teacher who pushes Cady to be her smartest self. Mrs. George is Regina’s “cool mom.” She’s desperate to look young and feel like one of the teens. She’s also desperate for Regina not to repeat her mistakes. Great singer. Distinctly defines these three characters. Gender: female. Vocal range top: Eb5 Vocal range bottom: G3

Mr. Duvall – The principal of North Shore High. Mr. Duvall may have once taught computers at Joliet penitentiary, but nothing prepared him for the harsh realities of out-of-control junior girls. Gender: male.

Kevin G. – Kevin is the extremely driven captain of the North Shore Mathletes. He is a confident student and a decent rapper. Gender: male.

Ensemble– strong singer dancers of various types to portray the diverse and multi-talented study body of North Shore High School.
