Heathers Character Breakdowns

 

Characters: 8 male, 9 female

 

Veronica Sawyer Character age 17 She burns to be both cool and kind, but doesn’t know yet how to be both at the same time. Fierce sense of right and wrong, keen sense of ironic humour. Thinks she's an old soul, but she's still innocent enough to be blindsided by love/hormones (or shocked by cruelty). Voice: High belting required, up to Ab. Must have dynamic and stylistic range.

JD Character age 17 He is darkly charismatic, compelling, attractive, charming on the outside yet very damaged on the inside. Keen smarts and strong inventive comedy. Voice: Strong, confident belt to at least an Ab, A preferable; wide emotional range.

Heather Chandler Character age 17 Richest, hottest, most magnetic, cruelest girl in town. Relishes power and wields it like a scalpel – no fear, no patience, no mercy. Voice: Strong belt to F or higher preferred.

Heather McNamara Character age 17 Beautiful, innocent, stupid, can be mean on command if Heather Chandler orders it, but actually quite vulnerable and fearful. Voice: Strong belt to Db, D preferred.

Heather Duke Character age 17 Whipping-girl of the 3 Heathers. When she finally becomes Queen Bee she wields power like a bulldozer. Strong belt to C, D preferred.

Martha Dunnstock Character age 17 Nicknamed “Martha Dumptruck”, the opposite of hot, confident, or popular. Huge and beautiful soul, optimistic even in the face of rejection. Voice: Strong belt to E or F, wide vocal expression.

Ram Sweeney Character age 17 Linebacker. Big, insensitive to the feelings of others, ruled by appetites. Voice: Strong Baritone, belt to G, some Falsetto useful.

Kurt Kelly Character age 17 Quarterback and Captain. Big, chiseled, rude, entitled, cocky. Mean, thinks he’s the brains in the friendship with Ram. Voice: Tenor, strong belt to Ab or A, some Falsetto. Mature applicants

Ram’s Dad/ Coach Ripper Character Age 40 to 50 Former football player turned suburban Dad, has never outgrown his glory days in high school. Hates weakness, but capable of soul-searching when tragedy strikes. Voice: Baritone/Tenor – power Country/Gospel belt to Ab, higher welcome

JD’s single Dad. Big jolly personality that barely conceals the enormous rage bubbling just below the surface. Quite possibly a serial bomber.

Ms.Fleming Character age 40 to 50 Aging hippie teacher, still yearning for the day the Age of Aquarius reaches Ohio. Hungry for the spotlight, resentful of entitled youth. Voice: Great belt up to C, higher always welcome.

Veronica’s Mom: easygoing, distant, yet capable of laying down the law.

Veronica’s Dad: easygoing, distant, yet capable of laying down the law.

Kurt’s Dad/Principal Gowan Character age 30 to 45 Straight-laced, very conservative, also former football player. A simple guy, not book smart, you’d be happy to share a beer with him.
