About the Show:
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This queen-bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.

Character Breakdown:
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
Age: 15 to 18 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
Age: 15 to 18 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

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
Age: 15 to 18 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. She is a “banker” meaning she befriends people to “bank” their secrets so she can trade them later for her own benefit. Her fragility at times is heartbreaking.
Gender: Female
Age: 15 to 18 Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: G3
Karen
One of the Plastics. Although her intellect and personality never had a chance tto develop, Karen is essentially kind, relaxed, and a generous laugher.
Gender: Female
Age: 15 to 18 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
Age: 15 to 18 Vocal range top: Bb4 Vocal range bottom: B2
Mrs. Heron

Gender: Female

Mrs. George
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. Eclectic Broadway vocal mix.
Gender: Female
Age: 30 to 50 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. Funny and a strong singer.
Gender: Male

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