AUDITIONER INFORMATION
Those who wish to audition for a role are required to bring a 16-32 bar cut to sing. It is highly recommended that this is from
the show, but if not, it is recommended that it is a song from the 50s/60s due to the nature of the musical.
Auditioners will have private vocal auditions with the production team, followed by cold reads with fellow auditioners. If called back, auditioners will receive notice of what to prepare.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
CINDY LOU (18 to 28)
knows she is the prettiest girl at Springfield High. She assumes she will be named prom queen and acts out against best friend Betty Jean when things don’t go her way. She makes the biggest change between act one and two having learned the lessons of true love and loss. Cindy Lou wears pink.
MISSY (18 to 28)
is the overachiever of the group. Very controlled and controlling and extremely concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and perfect. An elementary school teacher in the making, she is head of the prom, decorations committee and absolutely smitten with her music teacher, Mr. Lee. Her best friend is Suzy. Missy wears orange/apricot.
BETTY JEAN (18 to 28)
is the class clown and tomboy always fine for attention with your best friend Cindy Lou. It’s highly probable that Betty Jean wants to be with Cindy Lou herself, but doesn’t even know what those feelings are. Cindy Lou steals Betty Jean’s boyfriend away which causes a lot of the friction at the prom. She holds a grudge against Cindy Lou until they make up at the 10 year reunion. Betty Jean wears green.
SUZY (18 to 28)
is sometimes stereotyped as the ditsy blonde because she’s always smiling and giggling—nothing ever seems to bother her. Suzy is in love with the lighting operator, Richie Stevens, and completely surprised when named prom queen. Her best friend is Missy. Frustrated, sad, hormonal, and pregnant in Act 2. Suzy wears blue.
