CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
& Roles and requirements:
JEREMY HEERE.
Range: G2-A4
Male presenting, playing age 16/17
Jeremy is a typical, awkward teenager, very average and unassuming. He’s a sweet
and well-meaning boy who is nothing special. Fed up with being bottom of the pile,
he wants to do something about his social standing. He jumps at the chance to change his life when he learns of a supercomputer he can take as a pill to make him cool and get him the girl of his dreams!
Must have warmth, great comedic timing and a great rock/pop voice
MICHAEL MELL
Range: C3-A4 (B4 once)
Male presenting, playing age 16/17
Typical gamer geek, 80s/90s retro kid
Jeremy’s music-loving, W**d-smoking best friend who’s perfectly happy to be an
outsider – with Jeremy by his side. Easy-going and optimistic in his best friends
presence, though shy and introverted around others
The role requires great comedic timing and a strong pop/rock voice
CHRISTINE CANIGULA
Range: G3-D5
Female presenting, playing age 16/17
Theatre geek, highly opinionated and temperamental. Can’t settle on any one thing –
passionate about anything
Small, sparky and full of energy
Must have lots of energy and a strong pop/rock voice
RICH GORANSKI
Range: B2-A4 (also rock falsetto)
Male presenting, playing age 16/17
Jeremy’s bully
Rich appears to be an aggressive, angry little dude. One of the popular kids, but he
has a bit of a sad past, ultimately befriending Jeremy and convincing him to get a SQUIP to improve his special standing like he did.
Little powerhouse with a strong pop/rock voice
BROOKE LOHST
Range: Eb4-C5
Female presenting, playing age 16/17
Second most popular girl in school – following in Chloe's footsteps. A little bohemian-meets-preppy, sweet natured, a little naive and very insecure, very much a follower.
Strong pop voice
CHLOE VALENTINE
Range: Eb4-C5
Female presenting, playing age 16/17
Arguably the hottest, most popular girl in school. Appears to exude confidence, but in fact relies on the attention. She feels the need to fight to defend her ‘Queen Bee’ title.
Strong pop voice
JENNA ROLAN
Range: B3-D5
Female presenting, playing age 16/17

JAKE DILLINGER
Range: D3-Gb4 (Bb4 once).
Male presenting, playing age 16/17

Strong pop/rock voice
THE SQUIP
Range A3-Ab4
Male presenting, age 20+
Has a look of Keanu Reeves about him. The Squip starts off innocent enough, but becomes more controlling and manipulative as time goes on. Has no problem breaking Jeremy down to get him to do as he says. Snarky, smooth talking with an
attitude and quick wit.
Strong pop/rock voice
MR HEERE/JEREMY’S DAD
Range: Bb2-G4
Male presenting, around age 40
Dorky, embarrassing kind of Dad completely out of touch with his teenage son. Bit of a pushover, divorced – doesn’t wear pants
