Character Breakdown
Albert is the president of Almaelou Music Corporation, and is Conrad Birdie's agent. He is a nervous, excitable man who spends most of his time trying to control the uncontrollable, with comic results. Albert carries much of the story!
Rosie is Albert's girlfriend and secretary at Almaelou Music Corporation, who is frustrated with Albert's inability to commit to her. She is willing to do anything it takes to get Albert to give up the music business and settle down. Headstrong and confident, Rosie is often one step ahead of Albert. This is a role for a student ready to shine in a leading role!
Mrs. Mae Peterson is Albert's controlling mother. She loves her son, despite her disapproval of the way he runs the family business and (especially) his affection for Rosie. She has never stopped parenting Albert, and her mounting frustration as Albert learns to stand up to her provides comic relief. This is a strong character in a non-singing role!
Conrad Birdie is a teen heartthrob who has been drafted into the Army. This character was written with Elvis Presley in mind. He says little, but conveys much with his body language, swagger, and, of course, his music. This is someone who knows that good looks and a killer smile will get him more than his personality. This is an over-the-top role with a lot of singing and dancing!
Kim MacAfee is the self-confident young member of Conrad's fan club who is chosen to receive a kiss (will not be a real kiss in our production!) from Conrad before he leaves for the Army. She sees herself as more mature than the average teenager. This is a large role for a singer/actor/dancer!
Hugo Peabody is Kim's devoted steady boyfriend, who is jealous that Conrad is getting so much attention from Kim. This is a character-driven, non-singing role with many great comic moments!
Mr. Harry MacAfee is Kim's father, who thinks he is in control of his family and his teenage daughter (but isn't). Mr. MacAfee is a comedic singing and acting role with a lot of frustration!
Mrs. Doris MacAfee is Kim's loving mother, who knows just how to handle her husband and her household. Mrs. MacAfee should be a good actor and singer with hilarious chemistry with Mr. MacAfee!
Ursula Merkle is Kim's best friend and the hyper-enthusiastic teenager who leads the girls in screaming for Conrad. This is a great supporting role for an energetic actor who wants to create a one-of-a-kind character!
Randolph MacAfee is Kim's younger brother. This is a featured role with fun quirks!
The Mayor is the head figure of Sweet Apple, Ohio, who welcomes Conrad Birdie to town. A big naive to the effect Conrad has on the girls of the town, this is a great featured role for an actor who can develop a fun adult character!
The Mayor's Wife, Edna, is one of the adults in the show who cannot escape the power of Conrad Birdie's spell. This is a great featured role for a physical actor to have fun with!
Gloria Rasputin is the dreamy, ambitious woman who Mrs. Peterson chooses to replace Rosie. She is looking for her big break into show business and hopes Albert can help her. This is a great place for a dancer who wants a solo and can great a gum-chomping, hair-twirling, larger-than-life character!
Mrs. Merkle is Ursula's overbearing mother who also gets a touch of Conrad Birdie Fever. This is a great place for an actor who wants to play a wacky adult character!
Harvey Johnson is a typical nerdy teenager, who can't seem to get enough of the gossip going in during the song Telephone Hour.
Mr. Johnson is Harvey's father and one of the many parents in Sweet Apple desperate to keep control of their children as Conrad Birdie comes to town. This is a great featured part for an ensemble member!
Ensemble: Teenagers, including Alice, Deborah Sue, Helen, Nancy, Margie, Penelope, Suzie, Freddie, Karl, and various other boys and girls.
Other ensemble members include Policemen, Reporters, a Conductor and Trainman, and other Parents of Sweet Apple teenagers with featured lines throughout the script.
