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 The best dancer at St.
Charlene DiGregorio Bernadette’s; a 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.
