CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
& Roles and requirements:
Max Jägerman (male-presenting, tenor, C3–C5 belt) The arrogant star quarterback and school bully who rules Hatchetfield High. After dying during a prank, he returns as a powerful supernatural spirit determined to murder the town’s nerds. Requires commanding presence, physicality and dark comedy.
Grace Chasity / Drama Student (female-presenting, mezzo/alto, G3–F5) A seemingly pious, rule-following student who helps devise the prank against Max. Beneath her innocent exterior is a darker, ruthless and increasingly unpredictable personality.
Stephanie Lauter / Caitlyn (female-presenting, mezzo/soprano, G3–A5) The rebellious, cynical and ambitious daughter of Hatchetfield’s mayor. Popular among her classmates but increasingly drawn into the group of outcasts.
Peter Spankoffski / Drama Student / Dan Reynolds (male-presenting, tenor, C3–C5) An awkward and anxious high-school outcast who becomes central to the effort to protect his friends. Earnest, intelligent and emotionally vulnerable.
Richie Lipschitz / Boy Jerry / Trevor / Paul Matthews / Wiggly (male-presenting, baritenor, C3–C5 belt) An insecure, anxious and endearing nerd who is terrified of Max but forced to confront the supernatural danger. Requires strong character versatility across several roles.
Ruth Fleming / Donna Daggit / Emma Perkins / Blinky / Brooke (female-presenting, mezzo, G3–G5 optional) A quirky, outspoken and unapologetic outsider involved in the prank. The performer also portrays several contrasting supporting characters.
Karen Chasity / Miss Mulberry / Reese / Miss Tessburger / Stacy / Nibbly / Girl Jerry (female-presenting, soprano, C4–A5) Grace’s mother and a range of distinctive Hatchetfield characters. Requires excellent comic versatility and the ability to create multiple clear personalities.
Mark Chasity / Officer Bailey / Kurt Clauger / Tinky / News Announcer (male-presenting, baritenor, A2–A4) Grace’s father, a local real-estate agent, alongside several adults, authority figures and supernatural characters. Requires strong character transformation.
Solomon Lauter / Hatchetfield Cop / Jason Jepson / Pokey (male-presenting, baritone, A2–A4) The stressed mayor of Hatchetfield and Stephanie’s father. He knows more than most about the town’s sinister history. Also portrays several supporting characters.
Detective Shapiro / Brenda / PJ / Reporter (female-presenting, soprano, C4–A5) The lead investigator examining Hatchetfield’s increasingly strange events. Also performs several featured characters within the larger musical numbers.
