Roles
Role | M/F | Age | Description | ELLE WOODS | F | Confident & bubbly, Elle is the quintessential blonde Valley Girl, who follows her boyfriend to Harvard Law School and realizes she has much more to offer than a pretty face. She lifts up those around her, due to her intense drive and positivity. This actor should be a triple threat, and able to carry the momentum of the show (she is onstage for nearly the entire runtime). Must be comfortable with dogs. Mezzo-Soprano Belt to C#5 | EMMETT FORREST | M | 14 | A smart, sensitive, and sometimes sarcastic law student who mentors Elle. He should be charming, a bit nerdy, lovable, and friendly. He’s worked his entire life to get into Harvard Law, and nothing will come between him and becoming a partner in Callahan’s law firm, except maybe his surprising love for Elle. Must be comfortable with dogs. Tenor | PAULETTE BUONAFONTE | F | Paulette is the funny owner of Hair Affair, a local salon. She becomes friends with Elle and longs to marry a man from Ireland. She and Elle help each other achieve their dreams! Must be comfortable with dogs. A Bostonian accent is a plus. This actor should be a strong singer with a powerful belt to match the personality! Mezzo-Soprano Belt | PROFESSOR CALLAHAN | M | A pompous, smooth, authoritative, and manipulative law professor. He has a reputation for being an extremely strict and tough professor and a highly successful lawyer. He will do anything to get what he wants, regardless of morality. Tenor | WARNER HUNTINGTON III | M | Good-looking and charming, yet shallow and self-absorbed. Warner breaks up with Elle to go to Harvard Law. He only sees Elle as a bubbly dumb blonde, and doesn’t think she is serious enough to settle down with. He cares deeply about his reputation. Tenor | VIVIENNE KENSINGTON | F | A smart, serious, and uptight law student, seemingly the polar opposite of Elle. She comes from a very conservative East Coast background and is everything that Warner needs to make a serious move to become a lawyer. When she becomes Warner’s fiancée, she initially dismisses Elle, but grows to become her friend. Mezzo-Soprano Belt to G#5 | BROOKE WYNDHAM | F | An exercise video tycoon who is an alum of Elle’s sorority. She is energetic and charismatic, yet currently on trial for her husband’s murder. Dance skills and being physically fit is a must for this role, to properly do high level aerobics with enough stamina to continue singing. Mezzo-Soprano to G#5 | ENID HOOPS | F | Enid is a strong, passionate, and outwardly feminist law student at Harvard, who is skeptical of Elle, and eventually becomes her friend. Must have great comedic timing and be able to patter- sing clearly. Soprano/Mezzo Belter | SERENA, MARGOT, AND PILAR | F | These three are Elle’s trio of best friends and sorority sisters, who help her navigate the story by acting as a “Greek Chorus”. Serena is the energetic cheerleader, typically of Jewish heritage. Margot is the seemingly dim-witted, boy-crazy sorority sister. Pilar is the sassy and sensible one. They should be high energy performers to make a complementary, dynamic group. Soprano/Mezzo/Alto | KATE | F | The brainiest and quirkiest sorority sister in Delta Nu, who helps Elle study to get into Harvard Law. She has a featured vocal solo in “What You Want”. Mezzo-Soprano Belter | KYLE B. O’BOYLE | M | An attractive, smooth-talking UPS delivery man. He is Paulette’s dream guy. Irish dance skills are a plus. Any Voice Type | ENSEMBLE | M/F | A high energy cast of singers, dancers and actors to play Delta Nu Sorority Girls, Frat Boys, Harvard Law Students, Salon Employees/Patrons, Prison Inmates, etc. Must have big personalities/stage presence to play many featured roles, such as: -GRAND MASTER CHAD: UCLA frat boy, has a featured reggae solo in “What You Want”. -DEWEY: Paulette’s nasty, rude, dog-stealing trailer trash ex-boyfriend. -STORE MANAGER: A friend of Elle’s who offers her the latest fashion. Has a featured solo in “Omigod You Guys”. -SALESWOMAN: Tries to scam Elle into buying a dress, thinking that she’s just a dumb blonde. -SUNDEEP PADAMADAN: An entitled Harvard student who used to be royalty in his home country. Featured solo in “The Harvard Variations”. -AARON SCHULTZ: A smug, arrogant, and privileged Harvard |
