Springfield High. She knows she will be named Prom Queen and acts out against
her best friend Betty Jean when things don’t go her way. She makes the biggest
change between Act 1 & 2, having learned the lessons of true love and loss.
Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt: E3–F5. Sings melody line on most songs, so the other
girls hang their vocals on this voice. Among the songs she sings lead are:
‘Allegheny Moon,’ ‘Son of a Preacher Man,’ and ‘Maybe’.</span></p>

Very
controlled, very concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and
perfect. Head of the prom decorations committee; and absolutely smitten with
her music teacher. Her best friend is Suzy. Range: Soprano: G3–A5. Wide range,
floating high vocals and belting throughout the show. Among the songs she sings
lead are: ‘Secret Love,’ ‘You Don’t Own Me,’ and ‘Wedding Bell Blues’.</span></p>

attention with Cindy Lou, her best friend. It’s also highly probable that Betty
Jean wants to be with Cindy Lou herself, but just doesn’t even know what those
feelings really are. Cindy Lou steals Betty Jean’s boyfriend away, which causes
a lot of the friction at the prom. She holds this grudge against Cindy Lou
until they make up at the 10-year reunion. Range: Alto with strong low range:
D3–E5. Among the songs she sings lead are: ‘Lipstick on Your Collar,’ ‘I Only
Want To Be With You,’ and ‘That’s When The Tears Start.”</span></p>

girl. Super-best friends with Missy, Suzy is always a little giddy and a little
silly, and finds great pleasure in everything she does. In love with the
lighting operator, completely surprised when named prom queen. Frustrated, sad,
hormonal, and pregnant in Act 2. This role requires an excellent part singer
and expert comedienne. Range: Mezzo-Alto with both sweet and soulful voice:
G3–E5. Among the songs she sings lead are: ‘Stupid Cupid,’ ‘Hold Me, Thrill
Me,’ and ‘Rescue Me’.</span></p>
