"Carrie" the Musical Seeking Actors

(vocal range: mezzo soprano, G3-E5) A painfully shy outsider who, in spite of her best efforts to belong, has been the victim of her classmates’ cruel jokes since childhood, as well as her mother’s strict, biblically-ordained control at home. She transforms from ugly duckling into graceful – and then vengeful – swan. Vocally she must be capable of lyrical sweetness as well as fierce power.

(vocal range: mezzo soprano, A3-E5) A straight-A student who’s been popular her entire life, she’s remarkably level headed for her age. Her unthinking participation in a cruel act of bullying causes a crisis of conscience that leads her on a journey to try to right things. Vocally, she has a pop ballad voice that delivers sweet sincerity and strength.

(vocal range: tenor, A2-C5) Popular star athlete, valedictorian, and all around stand-out, he’s the boy that all the girls want to be with, and all the boys want to be. Yet he also has unexpected, quirky sensitivity and is just starting to mine his personal life and feelings – a budding poet. His voice should have an effortless pop quality.

(vocal range: mezzo-soprano, E3-E5) Rich, spoiled-rotten, and wickedly funny. Chris is a popular beauty whose arrogant self-assurance makes her believe that the rules don’t apply to her. Loaded with sexual dynamite, she has serious daddy and anger-management issues. Her voice is pop-rock percussive and powerful.

(vocal range: tenor/baritone, A2-C5) Now in his sixth year in high school, Billy’s a sexy, stupid-like-a-fox bad boy whose wise mouth troublemaking has led him to spend more time in detention than in class. All these qualities make it easy for his girlfriend Chris to manipulate him to do her bidding. His voice is that of a wailing rocker.

(vocal range: alto, E3-C#5) Mid-30s, this girls’ P.E. teacher can be a strict disciplinarian if necessary, but when Carrie arouses her maternal instinct, she surprises herself by also revealing a protective “fairy godmother” side. Her voice is warm and strong, just like her.

(vocal range: tenor/baritone, A2-G4) this well-intentioned English teacher and guidance counselor struggles to help his students realize their potential. A dedicated educator, he’s stretched thin in his duties, woefully underpaid, and a bit overwhelmed as to how to handle the Billy Nolans of the classroom combat zone. Opportunity to also portray Reverend Bliss who sings “Open Your Heart.”

(vocal range: mezzo soprano, E3-E5) Bitchy, gossipy and a shameless suck-up to authority, Norma is second-in-command to Chris’ queen bee.

(vocal range: mezzo soprano, E3-G5) Sue’s brainy pal, she’s an easy-going, get-along follower and a tireless extracurricular committee volunteer.

(vocal range: mezzo soprano, E3-G5) Giggly and easily shocked, her immaturity and need to belong make her the perfect example of the herd mentality.

(vocal range: tenor, A2-C5) Tommy’s jock wingman since childhood. George idolizes him. Perhaps a little too much…

(vocal range: tenor, A2-C5) A bit of a nerd, he’s happy to be included as one of Tommy’s posse.

(vocal range: tenor, A2-C5) The wise-cracking class clown and official yearbook photographer, he can’t believe any girl would ever give him the time of day.
