MISSY: (age 28) Female presenting.Always the over-achiever of the group, Missy has now blossomed into a full-fledged adult over-achiever. She is an elementary school teacher and has recently returned from her honeymoon with her new husband, Bill. She has an inner-sexiness that comes out every once-in-a-while, much to her surprise and embarrassment.A strong singer and mover with a good sense of comedy.
CINDY LOU: (age 28) Female presenting. Cindy Lou is the “bad girl” of the group, now reformed (to a point). She is sexy with a dry and sassy wit, and has a miles-high jet-black beehive, a cross between the Ronettes and early Priscilla Presley. She has a soft side and inner depth, revealed in an Act II monologue and ballad.A strong singer and mover with a good sense of comedy.
SUZY: (age 28) Female presenting.Suzy is happy-go-lucky, a little giddy, a little silly, and a little pregnant. She’s always willing to go along with anyone and anything, and she seems to giggle at just about anything. She is married to Ritchie, her high-school sweetheart.A strong singer and mover with a good sense of comedy.
BETTY JEAN: (age 28) Female presenting. Betty Jean is the self-anointed clown of the group, always vying for attention from her best friend, Cindy Lou. She loves that she is finally in control of the group, if only for this one performance. She has worked at Harper’s Hardware since high school and is proud to have made it into corporate sales. She is struggling with her marriage and has an inner strength that belies her goofiness.A strong singer and mover with a good sense of comedy.
