Mean Girls JR





Book by Tina Fey
Lyrics by Nell Benjamin
Music by Jeff Richmond




The Play.


Mean Girls JR is packed with keen wit, an undeniably catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone. 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. Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends. Adapted from Fey's 2004 blockbuster film.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS





Cady Heron

Arrives at North Shore High a clueless transfer student but is quickly wrapped up in brutal social politics. Though at her core Cady is levelheaded, self-assured, and kind, when she goes undercover with the Plastics, she becomes unrecognizable.

Gender: Female

Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G2


Damian

Co-chair of the Student Activities Committee and Janis’s best friend. Damian is smart, witty, and confident and occasionally serves as the show’s narrator.

Gender: Male

Vocal range top: G5 Vocal range bottom: Bb3


Janis Sarkisian

Marches to the beat of her own drum and, with Damian, narrates throughout the show. After a falling-out with Regina in middle school, she became a bit of a social outcast and still holds a grudge against Regina. Damian is her best friend and lovingly refers to her as his “art freak.”

Gender: Female

Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: A3


Regina George

The undisputed Queen Bee of North Shore High School, and she knows it. She’s confident, clever, and completely unbothered by anyone else’s opinion. While Regina purposefully manipulates everyone around her (including her own mom), at her heart, she’s trying to fit in, just like everyone else.

Gender: Female

Vocal range top: Eb5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3


Gretchen Wieners

Regina’s stressed-out second-in-command. As much as Regina appears not to care what people think, Gretchen cares very much, and she’s especially paranoid when it comes to Regina. She takes the Plastics very seriously and is completely controlled by Regina, until Cady comes along.

Gender: Female

Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: G2


Karen Smith

The third member of the Plastics. While Karen’s lack of intelligence is a running joke throughout the show, she sees the other girls more clearly than most people and is the most laid back of the three.

Gender: Female Vocal range top: D#5 Vocal range bottom: G2


Aaron Samuels

A nice guy who has no idea that he’s the high school heartthrob. Although he doesn’t enjoy the drama of high school social politics, he gets used as a pawn between Cady and Regina, though he genuinely likes Cady.

Gender: Male

Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: B3


Mrs. Heron and Mr. Heron

Cady's parents.


Mr. Duvall

The school principal. Like Ms. Norbury, he’s seen it all, although he’s slightly more formal and sincere than Ms. Norbury’s sarcasm.

Gender: Male


Ms. Norbury

Cady’s homeroom and calculus teacher, and she oversees the Mathletes. Though she is a bit jaded and more than a little sarcastic, Ms. Norbury sees the real Cady and encourages her to be true to herself.

Gender: Female


Shane Oman

A couple of spoken lines but much discussed in the show's plot.

Gender: Male


Kevin G

Captain of the Mathletes! He’s confident and excited about competing with the team, and he’s proud of their accomplishments.

Gender: Male


Martin

Kevin G's second in command.

Gender: Male


Mrs. George

Desperate to be a "cool mom".

Gender: Female


Coach Carr

Athletic coach.
