CHARACTER INFORMATION


*MEN*


*Danny Zucko* - Tenor D to High B (good falsetto) - Leader of the “Burger
Palace Boys.” Well-built, nice- looking, with an air of cool easy going
charm. Strong and confident.


*Kenickie* - Baritone D to F# - Second in command of the “Burger Palace
Boys.” Tough looking, tattooed, surly, avoids any show of softness. Has an
offbeat sense of humor.


*Doody* - Tenor D to G (good falsetto) - Youngest of the guys. Small,
boyish, open, with a disarming smile and a hero worshiping attitude toward
the other guys. Plays guitar.


*Roger* - Tenor F to G - The “anything for a laugh” stocky type. Full of
mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas. One of the boys; a clown who enjoys
putting people on.


*Sonny LaTierri* - Bari/Tenor - Italian looking with shiny black hair. A
braggart and wheeler dealer who thinks he’s a real lady killer.

*Eugene Florczyk* - Bari/Tenor - The class valedictorian. Physically
awkward with weak eyes and a high pitched voice. Nerdy but smug. An apple
polisher. Pompous but gullible.


*Vince Fontaine* - Bari/Tenor - A typical “teen audience” radio disc
jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast talking. A veteran “greaser.”


*Johnny Casino* - Baritone A to C (good falsetto) - A “greaser” type leader
of high school rock band. Thinks of himself as a real rock ‘n’ roll idol.


*Teen Angel* - Tenor E to B (good falsetto) - Good looking, Fabian style
singer.


*WOMEN*


*Sandy Dumbrowski* - Soprano A to D - Danny’s love interest. Sweet,
wholesome, naïve and cute, like Sandra Dee of the “Gidget” movies.


*Betty Rizzo* - Mezzo A to C - Leader of the Pink Ladies, tough, sarcastic,
outspoken but vulnerable. Italian with unconventional good looks.


*Frenchy* - Soprano - A Dreamer. Good-natured, but 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.


*Marty* - Alto C to Db - The beauty of the group. Pretty, looks and acts
older than she is but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. Tries
to act sophisticated.


*Jan *- Mezzo Bb to Bb - Chubby, compulsive eater; loud and pushy with the
girls, but shy with the boys.


*Patty Simcox* - Mezzo - A typical cheerleader at a middle class American
public high school. Attractive and athletic. Aggressive, sure of herself,
given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. Catty, but in an All-American
Girl sort of way. She can twirl a baton.


*Cha-Cha* DiGregorio - Soprano - A blind date. Loud, brash and knows how to
use her looks. Takes pride in being “the best dancer as St. Bernadette’s.”


*Miss Lynch* - Mezzo Bb to Bb - Old maid English teacher.
