The Story
The show is the coming-of-age story of an all-American small-town
sweetheart named Debbie Benton. Debbie is captain of her high-school
cheerleading team, but she dreams of making it to the big time by becoming
a Texas Cowgirl Cheerleader. The only thing that stands between her and the
realization of her dream is bus fare to the big city: Dallas. Debbie
enlists her teammates, Lisa, Roberta, Donna and Tammy. The girls form a
company called Teen Services and get jobs, but they quickly realize
minimum-wage jobs just don't pay enough. Luckily, Debbie's boss, Mr.
Greenfelt, has an idea how the girls can raise enough money in time. A
ridiculous parody based on the 1978 pornographic film Debbie Does Dallas.
However, unlike the original movie, the musical does not contain any actual
sex or nudity.
*"A scream! A saucy, tongue-in-cheek romp." —The New Yorker.*
*"Hilarious! DEBBIE manages to have it all: beauty, brains and a great
sense of humor!" —Time Out NY.*
*"Shamelessly silly, shrewdly self-aware and proud of being naughty. Great
fun!" —NY Times.*
*"Racy and raucous, a lighthearted, fast-paced thoroughly engaging and
hilarious send-up." —NY Daily News.*
Character Breakdown
*Five women and three men, able to approximate high school aged students.
Though, this is flexible.*
Debbie - Heroine and all-American sweetheart;
Lisa - Bad girl we all love to hate; Roberta - Naive, spacy airhead by
choice;
Donna - poet and dark angel of the team;
Tammy - Intelligent and socially conscious virgin.
Male actors will play a variety of roles, including football players and
townsfolk.
