Characters

• Sandy Dumbrowski Danny’s love interest. She is sweet, wholesome, naïve, and cute, like Sandra Dee of the Gidget movies. Sandy struggles with wanting more than her Sandra Dee image. VOCAL RANGE: Soprano with high belt
• Danny Zuko The leader of the T-Birds. He is charismatic and confident, with a sense of easy-going charm. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor
• Betty Rizzo Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable. VOCAL RANGE: Mezzo Soprano
• Kenickie Second-in-command of the T-Birds. Tough looking, tattooed, surly, avoids any show of softness. Has an off-beat sense of humour. VOCAL RANGE: Baritone
• Frenchie 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. VOCAL RANGE: Alto; limited solo singing
• Doody Youngest of the guys. Small, boyish, open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshipping attitude toward the other guys. Plays guitar onstage. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor
• Marty The “beauty” of the Pink Ladies. Looks older than the other girls but betrays her age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated. VOCAL RANGE: Alto
• Sonny Latierri An Italian-looking guy, with shiny black hair and dark, oily skin. He is a braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he’s a real lady-killer but is completely tone deaf to most people around him. VOCAL RANGE: Baritone; No solo singing
• Jan A compulsive eater. Jan is loud and pushy with the girls, but shy and uncomfortable with boys. VOCAL RANGE: Mezzo Soprano
• Roger The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas. A clown who enjoys putting other people on. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor
• Miss Lynch Old Maid English teacher VOCAL RANGE: Ensemble Part – Flexible
• Patty Simcox A typical cheerleader. She is aggressive, sure of herself and given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. Catty, but in an All-American girl sort of way unpopular with the Pink Ladies. Patty is a strong mover who can twirl a baton. VOCAL RANGE: Alto
• Cha Cha De Gregorio A blind date. Slovenly, loud-mouthed, and homely. Cha-Cha takes pride in being the best dancer at St. Bernadette’s. VOCAL RANGE: Ensemble Part – Flexible
• Eugene Florczyk The class valedictorian. Physically and socially awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug, and pompous but gullible. VOCAL RANGE: Ensemble Part – Flexible
• Johnny Casino A veteran greaser and former student at Rydell. A local rock ‘n’ roll icon in the making. VOCAL RANGE: Tenor
• Vince Fontaine A typical “teen audience” radio disc jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast talking. A veteran ‘greaser’. VOCAL RANGE: Ensemble Part – Flexible
• Teen Angel A good-looking, falsetto-voiced, Fabian-look-alike. A singer who would have caused girls to scream and riot in 1958. (A female Teen Angel may be considered) VOCAL RANGE: Tenor
