LILY LARSEN

Principal

Anxious freshmen protagonist, LILY is new to the world of high-stakes academic rankings and still learning the ropes.

Strong pop/rock mezzo-soprano belts to an F#5

JOHN CARTER

Principal

Earnest and playful, JOHN is a sophomore who stopped caring about academics and being “Above the Average” after his mother died, following the lead of his older sister JORDAN.

Strong pop baritone, belts to a G#4

SYDNEY SUMMERS

Principal

SYDNEY is driven and cutthroat. She’s ranked #1 in the senior class, and got there by being brilliant, staying focused, and knowing exactly how to play the game.

Powerful pop alto/soprano with vocal riffing belts to an E5

RYAN SUMMERS

Principal

SYDNEY's twin brother, RYAN is charming, charismatic, and blissfully unaware of his privilege. Girls love him, and guys want to be him. (Note: Ryan is only in the 60-minute One Act and is not included in the 45-minute version).

Baritone/tenor, belts to an A5

ALEXIS LARSEN

Principal

Cautious and concerned, ALEXIS has worked incredibly hard to be near the top of the senior class. She lets her guard down for RYAN, but coaches her little sister LILY on how to follow in her footsteps and keep their family’s secrets.

True alto, sweet and endearing pop/folk voice. F3-D5

JACQUIE

Supporting

Part of SYDNEY’s Squad, Jacquie is witty, sharp and doesn’t pull any punches. She is usually the first to chime in after SYDNEY speaks very aggressively, and knows her place in the pack.

Alto, strong with harmonies

CARLY

Supporting

CARLY is part of SYDNEY’s Squad. While she is smart enough academically to be at the top, she lacks some social competence and is usually a step behind whatever point her squad is making.

Mezzo-soprano, strong with harmonies

FRANCIS

Supporting

FRANCIS is the sass of SYDNEY’s Squad. He carries himself with a bit of a strut, his comments are often backhanded and he would not hesitate to take SYDNEY’s place if the opportunity presented itself.

Tenor, strong with harmonies
