Cady Heron - Arrives at North Shore High a clueless transfer student but is quickly wrapped up in brutal social politics. Though at her core Cady is levelheaded, self-assured, and kind, when she goes undercover with the Plastics, she becomes unrecognizable. Vocal range top: E5 // Vocal range bottom: G2
Ms. Norbury - Cady’s homeroom and calculus teacher, and she oversees the Mathletes. Though she is a bit jaded and more than a little sarcastic, Ms. Norbury sees the real Cady and encourages her to be true to herself.
Regina George - The undisputed Queen Bee of North Shore High School, and she knows it. She’s confident, clever, and completely unbothered by anyone else’s opinion. While Regina purposefully manipulates everyone around her (including her own mom), at her heart, she’s trying to fit in, just like everyone else. Vocal range top: Eb5 // Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Gretchen Wieners - Regina’s stressed-out second-in-command. As much as Regina appears not to care what people think, Gretchen cares very much, and she’s especially paranoid when it comes to Regina. She takes the Plastics very seriously and is completely controlled by Regina, until Cady comes along. Vocal range top: E5 // Vocal range bottom: G2
Karen Smith - The third member of the Plastics. While Karen’s lack of intelligence is a running joke throughout the show, she sees the other girls more clearly than most people and is the most laid back of the three. Vocal range top: D#5 // Vocal range bottom: G2
Aaron Samuels - A nice guy who has no idea that he’s the high school heartthrob. Although he doesn’t enjoy the drama of high school social politics, he gets used as a pawn between Cady and Regina, though he genuinely likes Cady. Vocal range top: E5 // Vocal range bottom: B3
Janis - An “Art Freak” and social outcast, Janis is not afraid to be weird or make others uncomfortable. Vocal range: Ab3 - F5
Damian - Fiercely loyal friend to Janis and they have the close rapport of a comedy team. Vocal range: F2 - A4
Mrs. Heron & Mr. Heron - Cady's parents
Shane Oman - A couple of spoken lines but much discussed in the show's plot.
