Character Breakdown: ROMY & MICHELE Cast Unpacks Their Roles

Romy and Michele are heading to a party off-Broadway this fall. The brand new musical, based on the cult film classic Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, is now in previews at Stage 42. What's it all about?

For most of us, the idea of reliving high school is nothing short of a nightmare. When Romy and Michele are invited to their ten-year high school reunion, Michele envisions the whole experience as a fun road trip, while Romy, very reluctantly, agrees to go but only if they come up with something to impress their classmates. To this end, the two hatch an outrageous scheme to totally re-invent themselves.

"There are people who have been here on this planet before and there are people who this is their very first rodeo," explained Kara Lindsay. "This is [Michele]'s very first rodeo... which is really fun! I am learning that I have to be super present... Everything is brand new and exciting. It's a delight."

"My Romy is an idea person," added Laura Bell Bundy. "She gets really excited about her own ideas and she likes to get Michele on board. Michele is a yes person... so the dynamic is that they both feel good about themselves with each other."
