Roles needed cast: (Ages 12-18 needed) Carrie White: A shy outsider who, in spite of her best efforts to belong, has been the victim of her classmates cruel jokes since childhood as well as her mother’s strict, biblically-ordained control at home. She transforms from the musicals ugly-duckling into a graceful – then vengeful swan. Vocally she must be capable of lyrical sweetness as well as fierce power. Margaret White: A woman of visceral extremes, she balances her fervent religious convictions with equally sincere true-believer spirituality and tender, maternal love for her daughter Carrie. Like Carrie who she shares several duets, her voice must range from expensive to melodic to ferocious and frightening. *Will be cast under 18 Sue Snell: a straight –A student who’s been popular her entire life. Her unthinking participation in a cruel act of bullying causes a crisis of conscience that leads her on a journey to try right things. Vocally, she has a great pop ballad voice that delivers sweet sincerity and strength. Tommy Ross: Popular state athlete, valedictorian, and all around stand- out he’s the boy all the girls want to be with. -A budding poet. Vocally he must have a effortless pop quality. Chris Hargensen: Rich, spoiled-rotten, and wickedly funny. Chris is a popular beauty whose ignorant self- assurance makes her believe that rules don’t apply to her. Her voice is Pop-Rock percussive and powerful. Billy Nolan: Now in his sixth year in high school, Billy’s sexy, stupid-like-a-fox bad boy whose wise mouth troublemaking has led him to spend more time in detention than in the classroom. Dating Chris. Vocally is a wailing rocker. Miss Gardner: Female P.E. teacher throughout the story she is made up to be Carrie’s “fairy godmother”. Vocally her voice is strong and warm, just like a woman. *Will be cast under 18 Mr. Stephens: Is the seniors classes English teacher and guidance counselor struggles to help his students reach their potential a dedicated educator. *Will be cast under 18 Norma: Gossipy head-cheerleader, Norma is second-in-command to Chris’ “Queen Bee.” Frieda: Sue’s brainy pal, she’s an easy-going follower and tireless extracurricular committee volunteer Helen: Giggly and easy shocked, her immaturity and need to belong makes her the perfect example of the herd mentality George: Tommy’s jock wingman since childhood, George idolizes him. Perhaps a bit too much… Strokes: A bit of a nerd, he’s happy to be a part of Tommy’s posse. Freddy: The wise-cracking class clown and official yearbook photographer, he can’t believe any girl would ever give him the time of day.
