Mean Girls Jr Cast of Characters
Quick Casting Insight: Mean Girls Jr works best when Cady feels genuinely kind at the beginning, Regina commands the stage with confidence, and Damian and Janis have strong narrator energy. The ensemble should feel like a real school, with clear social groups and distinct student personalities.
Damian
Damian is co-chair of the Student Activities Committee and Janis’s best friend. Smart, witty, confident, and expressive, Damian occasionally serves as one of the show’s narrators. Cast a performer with excellent comic timing, clear diction, and strong audience connection.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb3–G5
Janis Sarkisian
Janis marches to the beat of her own drum and narrates much of the story alongside Damian. After a falling-out with Regina, Janis became a social outcast and still carries a grudge. This role needs a strong actress and singer who can balance sarcasm, hurt, humor, and emotional honesty.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–D5
Cady Heron
Cady arrives at North Shore High as a new transfer student and quickly becomes caught in the school’s social politics. At her core, Cady is kind, intelligent, and grounded, but her undercover mission with the Plastics changes her. Cast a performer who can show a clear emotional transformation throughout the musical.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G2–E5
Ms. Norbury
Ms. Norbury is Cady’s homeroom and calculus teacher and oversees the Mathletes. Sarcastic, smart, and a little jaded, she sees Cady’s real potential and encourages her to be honest with herself. This role works best with a mature performer who can deliver dry comedy and sincerity.
Regina George
Regina is the undisputed Queen Bee of North Shore High. Confident, clever, polished, and manipulative, she controls the social world around her. This role requires a performer with major stage presence, strong vocals, and the ability to be intimidating without losing the character’s underlying insecurity.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: Ab3–Eb5
Gretchen Wieners
Gretchen is Regina’s stressed-out second-in-command. She desperately wants approval and is constantly worried about losing Regina’s favor. This role gives a performer the chance to explore comedy, insecurity, and emotional pressure inside the Plastics.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G2–E5
Karen Smith
Karen is the third member of the Plastics. Though her lack of intelligence is a running joke, Karen often sees the truth more clearly than anyone expects. Cast a performer with excellent comic timing, warmth, and the ability to make Karen lovable rather than one-note.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G2–D#5
Aaron Samuels
Aaron is a genuinely nice guy who does not fully realize how much attention he gets at school. He becomes caught between Cady and Regina, even though he sincerely likes Cady. Cast a performer with natural charm and believable romantic chemistry.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: B3–E5
Mrs. Heron and Mr. Heron
Cady’s parents help establish her background and family world before and during her time at North Shore High. These roles can be doubled with ensemble performers.
Mr. Duvall
Mr. Duvall is the school principal. More formal and sincere than Ms. Norbury, he has seen plenty of school drama and tries to keep things under control.
Gender: Male
Shane Oman
Shane Oman has only a few spoken lines but is discussed often in the plot. This is a useful featured role for a confident ensemble performer.
Gender: Male
Kevin G
Kevin G is the proud captain of the Mathletes. Confident, energetic, and excited to compete, Kevin brings strong comic energy and school-spirit enthusiasm to the production.
Gender: Male
Martin
Martin is Kevin G’s second-in-command on the Mathletes. This role works well for a performer who can support the group’s nerdy confidence and comic teamwork.
Gender: Male
Mrs. George
Mrs. George is Regina’s mother and desperately wants to be seen as the “cool mom.” Cast a performer who can fully commit to broad comedy and awkward parent energy.
Gender: Female
Ensemble
The ensemble includes Party Guests, Debate Team, Dance Team, Show Choir, Mathletes, and Students. Additional featured ensemble roles include Taylor, Caitlyn, Rachel, Caroline Krafft, Tony, Marymount Captain, Teary Girl, Mathletes Moderator Sonja Acquino, Glenn Cocco, Dawn, Grace, Lizzie, Sophie, and Jason. These roles usually have one or two lines and no solo singing, making them excellent featured opportunities for a large cast.
