CDC Theatre is proud to be presenting Mean Girls High School Edition!
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
Adapted from Tina Fey’s hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This queen bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.
REHEARSALS: April-June, 2-3x a week. Will include some Saturdays and Sundays. A final rehearsal schedule will be determined after the show is cast and conflicts have been worked out.
PERFORMANCES: June 6th @ 7:30pm & June 7th at 2:00pm & 7:30pm
PRODUCTION FEE: $160- includes t-shirt
WHAT TO PREPARE:
Please prepare one 32 bar song cut in the style of the show (songs from Mean Girls highly encouraged).
Please come prepared with your own accompaniment track to play or track can be emailed to [email protected].
Please bring a recent photo or headshot. Video auditions will be accepted but we always prefer to meet you in person. Email [email protected] if you need to submit a video.
Mean Girls: High School Edition Characters
Cady
A new junior at North Shore High School, Cady grew up in Africa and was homeschooled by her wildlife biologist parents. She is warm, bright, and strong enough to take on The Plastics. Is the emotional heart of our story. Gender: Female. Vocal range: Gb5-G3
Regina
Regina is the Queen Bee of the Plastics. When she shines her light on you, you feel like the most important person in the world. When that light goes cold, you want to die. She is regal, still, and “hot”, but at her mostvulnerable moments, she is just a kid in over her head.Gender: Female. Vocal range: Gb5-F#3
Janis
An “Art Freak” and social outcast, Janis is not afraid to be weird or make others uncomfortable. She paints herself as an objective observer, but, like so many of us, she longs to avenge the devastating events of eighth grade.Gender: Female Vocal range: F5- Ab3
Damian
Outgoing and an active member of the student activities committee, Damian is a fiercely loyal friend to Janis and they have the close rapport of a comedy team.Gender: Male Vocal range: A4-F2
Gretchen
One of the Plastics. Desperate to please Regina and to maintain her position in the Plastics, Gretchen is a
nervous wreck. She is a “banker” meaning she befriends people to “bank” their secrets so she can trade them
later for her own benefit. Her fragility at times is heartbreaking.Gender: Female Vocal range:D5-G3
Karen
One of the Plastics. Although her intellect and personality never had a chance to develop, Karen is essentially
kind, relaxed, and a generous laugher. Gender: Female. Vocal range: Gb5-G3
Aaron
A cute boy with a good moral compass and a backbone. He’s not immune to all the female attention he gets, but he’s not going to let himself be a pawn in their chess game either. Broadway and pop tenor. Gender: Male
Mrs. Heron
Mrs. Heron is Cady’s intellectual mom who can’t understand why her daughter is devolving before her eyes.
Mrs. George
Mrs. George is Regina’s “cool mom.” She’s desperate to look young and feel like one of the teens. She’s also desperate for Regina not to repeat her mistakes. Great singer. Distinctly defines these three characters. Eclectic Broadway vocal mix.Gender: Female. Vocal range: Eb5-G3
Mr. Duvall
The principal of North Shore High. Mr. Duvall may have once taught computers at Joliet penitentiary, but nothing prepared him for the harsh realities of out-of-control junior girls. Funny and a strong singer.
Ms. Norbury
Ms.Norbury is Cady’s world-weary Calculus teacher who pushes Cady to be her smartest self.
Kevin G.
Kevin is the extremely driven captain of the North Shore Mathletes. He is a confident student and a decent
rapper.
Ensemble Roles
Taylor, Caitlyn, Rachel, Caroline Krafft, Tony, Marymount Captain, Teary Girl, Mathletes, Moderater, Sonja Acquino, Glenn Cocco, Dawn, Grace, Lizzie, Sophie, Jason, Party Guests, the Debate Team, Dance Team, Show Choir, Mathletes, and Students.
