Anxious freshmen protagonist, LILY is new to the world of high-stakes academic rankings and still learning the ropes.
Strong pop/rock mezzo-soprano belts to an F#5
Earnest and playful, JOHN is a sophomore who stopped caring about academics and being “Above the Average” after his mother died, following the lead of his older sister JORDAN.
Strong pop baritone, belts to a G#4
SYDNEY is driven and cutthroat. She’s ranked #1 in the senior class, and got there by being brilliant, staying focused, and knowing exactly how to play the game.
Powerful pop alto/soprano with vocal riffing belts to an E5
SYDNEY's twin brother, RYAN is charming, charismatic, and blissfully unaware of his privilege. Girls love him, and guys want to be him.
Baritone/tenor, belts to an A5
Cautious and concerned, ALEXIS has worked incredibly hard to be near the top of the senior class. She lets her guard down for RYAN, but coaches her little sister LILY on how to follow in her footsteps and keep their family’s secrets.
True alto, sweet and endearing pop/folk voice. F3-D5
Jaded and angry, JORDAN chose to focus on her academics over spending time with her dying mother last year, and carries that regret with her. She would love nothing more than to see the class ranking system collapse.
True alto with strong high belt. Eb3 to Eb5
Part of SYDNEY’s Squad, Jacquie is witty, sharp and doesn’t pull any punches. She is usually the first to chime in after SYDNEY speaks very aggressively, and knows her place in the pack.
Alto, strong with harmonies
CARLY is part of SYDNEY’s Squad. While she is smart enough academically to be at the top, she lacks some social competence and is usually a step behind whatever point her squad is making.
Mezzo-soprano, strong with harmonies
FRANCIS is the sass of SYDNEY’s Squad. He carries himself with a bit of a strut, his comments are often backhanded and he would not hesitate to take SYDNEY’s place if the opportunity presented itself.
Tenor, strong with harmonies
