Character Descriptions:

CINDY LOU (18, 28) knows she is the prettiest girl at Springfield High.  She assumes she will be named prom Quen and acts out against best friend, Betty Jean, when things don’t go her way.  She makes the biggest change between Act 1 & 2, having learned the lessons of true love and loss.  Cindy Lou wears pink.

MISSY (18,28) is the over-achiever of the group. Very controlled and controlling, and extremely concerned that everything at the prom turns out wonderful and perfect. An elementary school teacher in-the-making, she is the head of the prom decorations committee, and absolutely smitten with her music teacher, Mr. Lee.  Her best friend is Suzy.  Missy wears apricot/orange.

BETTY JEAN (18,28) is the class clown and tomboy, always vying for attention with her best friend, Cindy Lou. Cindy Lou steals Betty Jean’s boyfriend away, which causes a lot of the friction at the prom. She holds a grudge against Cindy Lou until they make-up at the ten-year reunion. Betty Jean wears green.

SUZY (18,28) is sometimes stereotyped as the ditzy blonde because she is always smiling and giggling – nothing ever seems to bother her. Suzy is in love with the lighting operator, Ritchie Stevens, and completely surprised when named prom queen.  Her best friend is Missy. Frustrated, sad, hormonal, and pregnant in Act 2.  Suzy wears blue.
