We are Searching for our Lead Cast:

• DANNY: The leader of the “Burger palace Boys.” Well-built, nice-looking, with an air of cool easy
  going charm. Strong and confident.
• SANDY: Danny’s love interest. Sweet, wholesome, naïve, cute, like Sandra Dee of the “Gidget” movies.
• THE “PINK LADIES”: The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls’ gang that hangs around
  with the “Burger Palace Boys.
• RIZZO: Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable. Thin,
  Italian, with unconventional good looks.
• FRENCHY: A dreamer. Good-natured and 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: The “beauty” of the Pink Ladies. Pretty, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her
  real age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated.
• JAN: Chubby, compulsive eater. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
• THE “BURGER PALACE BOYS”: A super-cool, D.A.-haired, hard-looking group of high school
  wheeler-dealers… or so they think.
• KENICKIE: Second-in-command of the Burger Palace Boys. Tough-looking, tattooed, surly,
  avoids any show of softness. Has an off-beat sense of humor.
• DOODY: Youngest of the guys. Small, boyish, open, with a disarming smile and a hero
  worshipping attitude toward the other guys. He also plays the guitar.
• ROGER: The “anything-for-a-laugh” stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas.
  A clown who enjoys putting other people on.
• SONNY: Italian-looking, with shiny black hair and dark oily skin. A braggart and wheeler-dealer
  who thinks he’s a real lady-killer.

OTHER ROLES

• PATTY: 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 also twirl a baton.
• CHA-CHA: A Blind date. Slovenly, loud-mouthed and homely. Takes pride in being “the best dancer at
  St. Bernadette’s.”
• EUGENE: The class valedictorian. Physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug and pompous but gullible.
• VINCE FONTAINE: A typical “teen audience” radio disc jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast-talking. A veteran “greaser.”
• JOHNNY CASINO: A “greaser” student at Rydell who leads a rock ‘n’ roll band and likes to think of himself as a real rock ‘n’ roll idol.
• TEEN ANGEL: A good-looking falsetto-voiced, Fabian-look-alike. A singer who would have caused girls to scream and riot back in 1958.
• MISS LYNCH: An old maid English teacher.
