CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

THE PINK LADIES:
The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, girls’ group of Rydell High.
Sandy Dumbrowski (she/her), high school teen | voice range:
soprano, A3–F#5
New girl in town and newest addition to the Pink Ladies. Sweet,
wholesome, naive, and innocent.

C5
Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but
vulnerable.
Frenchy (she/her), high school teen | voice range: alto, A3–D5
A dreamer; good-natured but not too smart. She is heavily made
up and fussy about her appearance, particularly her hair.
Marty (she/her), high school teen | voice range: alto, C4–C5
The ‘beauty’ of the Pink Ladies; looks older than the other girls,
but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth.
Jan (she/her), high school teen | voice range: alto, A3–C5
Funny, loud, and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Pushy
with the girls, but shy with boys.
BURGER PALACE BOYS (movie T–BIRDS):
A super-cool, slick haired, hard-looking group of high school
wheeler-dealers… or so they think.
Danny Zuko (he/him), high school teen | voice range: tenor,
D4–B5
The leader; strong and confident, with an air of easy-going
charm.
Kenickie (he/him), high school teen | voice range: tenor, C4–F5

avoids any show of softness. Has an offbeat sense of humor.

disarming smile and a hero-worshiping attitude toward the other
guys. Plays the guitar.

The anything-for-a-laugh type of guy; a clown who enjoys
winding people up, he is full of mischief and is always dreaming
up half-baked schemes and ideas.

baritone, G3–A5
Funny braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he’s a real lady-
killer.
THE STUDENTS:

D4–A4
A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can

unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton.
Eugene Florczyk (he/him), high school teen | voice range:
tenor, A3–E5

A no-nonsense, serious, loud English teacher.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
(Lost in the 50’s Aug 7-Aug 16)
This show is a revival of the original show that was performed
in this theatre when we opened in 2002.
It usually features 6-10 singer/dancers, BUT this show has the
ability to adapt to the strengths of our performers, so if we
have amazing dancers who don’t sing or an incredible vocalist
who isn’t a great mover, please submit! This show can be
tailored to the cast we hire!
Ideally, we are looking for versatile singers who are comfortable
with singing harmonies but also have wonderful range and very
strong character acting. There are a lot of great moments in this
show for singer/actor/dancers looking to strengthen their demo
reels.
Females who move should be comfortable dancing in character
shoes, and males who move should be comfortable lifting
females. Most of the dancing won’t require lifts, but it will
require a lot of enthusiasm. You don’t have to know how to do
partner dancing prior to being hired, but you do need to be
willing to learn.
There are over 50 songs featured in the show. Some examples
that have been in our show before are: Fever, In the Still of the
Night, 16 Tons, Walkin After Midnight, One Fine Day, Hound
Dog, La Bamba, Where The Boys Are, Lion Sleeps Tonight,
Why Do Fools Fall In Love…
While some of these songs are the ones we have had in the past,
if there is a song you know you’re great at in this era of music,
let us know, or better yet, audition with that song for this show!
