Character Descriptions
Danny Zuko - Leader of the "Burger Palace Boys." Well-built, nice-looking, with an air of cool easy-going charm. Strong & confident.
Sandy Dumbrowski - Danny's love interest. Sweet, wholesome, naive, cute.
The "Pink Ladies" (The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls' gang that hangs around with the "Burger Palace Boys")
Rizzo - Leader of the Pink Ladies. Tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable.
Frenchy - A dreamer. Good-natured and dumb. 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, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated.
Jan - Compulsive eater. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
The "Burger Palace Boys" (A super-cool, D.A.-haired group of high school wheeler-dealers....or so they think)
Kenickie - Second-in-command of the Burger Palace Boys. Tough-looking, avoids any show of softness. Has an off-beat sense of humor.
Roger - The "anything-for-a-laugh" stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes and ideas. A clown who enjoys putting other people on.
Doody - Youngest of the guys. Disarming smile and a hero-worshipping attitude toward the other guys.
Sonny - Italian-looking with dark hair & skin. A braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady killer.
More Terrific Roles
Patty Simcox - A typical cheerleader at a middle-class American high school. Attractive and athletic. Aggressive, sure of herself. Given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. Catty, but in an All-American Girl sort of way.
Cha-Cha DiGregorio - A blind date. Slovenly and loud-mouthed. Takes pride in being "the best dancer at St. Bernadette's."
Eugene - The class valedictorian. Physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug and pompous but gullible.
Vince Fontaine - A typical "teen audience" radio disc jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast-talking. A veteran "greaser."
Johnny Casino - A "greaser" student at Rydell who leads a rock 'n' roll band and likes to think of himself as a real rock 'n' roll idol.
Teen Angel - A good-looking falsetto-voiced, Fabian-look-alike. A singer who would have caused girls to scream back in 1958.
Miss Lynch - An old maid English teacher.
