Cast of Characters
Danny Zuko: The leader of T Birds; good-looking, strong
and confident, with an air of easy-going
charm.
Sandy Dumbrowski: New girl in town; sweet, wholesome,
naïve, cute, and innocent.
Betty Rizzo: Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic
and outspoken but vulnerable.
Frenchy: A dreamer; good-natured but not too
smart, she is heavily made up, fussy
about her appearance, particularly her
hair. She can’t wait to finish high school so
she can be a beautician.
Marty: The ‘beauty’ of the Pink Ladies; pretty and
looks older than the other girls, but
betrays her real age when she opens her
mouth. She tries to act sophisticated.
Jan: Funny, loud, compulsive eater and
awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud
and pushy with the girls, but shy with
boys.
Doody: The youngest of the T Birds; small, boyish
and open, with a disarming smile and a
hero-worshipping attitude towards the
other guys. He also plays the guitar.
Kenickie: The second-in-command of the T Birds;
tough-looking, surly and avoids any show
of softness. He has an offbeat sense of
humor.
Sonny LaTierri: A member of the T Birds; funny Italian-
American, he is a braggart and wheeler-
dealer who thinks he’s a real lady-killer.
Roger: The anything-for-a-laugh stocky type of
boy; a clown who enjoys winding people
up, he is full of mischief and is always
dreaming up half-baked schemes and
ideas.
Vince Fontaine: A typical ‘teen audience’ disc jockey; slick,
egotistical and fast-talking. He is also a
veteran ‘Greaser’.
Patty Simcox: A typical cheerleader; attractive, athletic,
sure-of-herself, but can be a given to
bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She’s
a bit of a pain and unpopular with the Pink
ladies, and can twirl a baton.
Miss Lynch: A no-nonsense, serious, loud, English
teacher.
Teen Angel: Frenchy’s suave and slick guardian angel,
who encourages her to stay in school.
Cha-Cha a.k.a Charlene The best dancer at St. Bernadette’s; a
DiGregorio loud mouth. She wins the dancing
competition with Danny.
Pink Ladies: The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-
swinging girls’ gang who hang around
with the T Birds.
T Birds: A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking
group of high school wheeler-dealers… or
so they think.
