Performers should be comfortable with early morning call times and performances. All ethnicities are encouraged to attend. 18+ for local Equity TYA tour of The Marvelous Wonderettes (TYA Edition):
- Cindy Lou: Female Identifying - 18-26. She thinks of herself as the prettiest girl at Springfield High. She knows she will be named Prom Queen and acts out against her best friend Betty Jean when things don’t go her way. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Soprano Belt: E3 – F5. Sings melody line on most songs, so the other girls hang their vocals on this voice. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
- Missy: Female Identifying - 18-26. She is the over-achiever of the group. Very controlled, very concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and perfect. Head of the Prom Decorations Committee, and absolutely smitten with her music teacher. Her best friend is Suzy. Vocal Range: Soprano: G3 – A5. Wide range, floating high vocals and belting throughout the show. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
- Betty Jean: Female Identifying - 18-26. She is the class clown and tomboy, always vying for attention with Cindy Lou, her best friend. Cindy Lou steals Betty Jean’s boyfriend away, which causes a lot of the friction at the prom. Vocal Range: Alto with strong low range: D3 – E5. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
- Suzy: Female Identifying - 18-26. She is the gum-chewing, happy-go-lucky, go-along girl. Super-best friends with Missy, Suzy is always a little giddy and silly and finds great pleasure in everything she does. Completely surprised when named Prom Queen. An excellent part singer and expert comedienne. Vocal Range: Mezzo-Alto with both sweet and soulful voice: G3 – E5. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
