OUR AIM: Is for every child that registers to be part of the Summer Youth Project. All young performers are required to audition so we know where their talents are best placed within the production. Specific roles will be required to sing/act material from the show. Ensemble/Chorus will take part in a group session. Auditions will be on Sunday 9th June between 5pm - 9om. If your child would like to audition for a named role please add this into the registration form. Please note, this project is about working as a team to create a musical not about the role. 

Elle Woods

Elle Woods may appear like a typical blonde California sorority girl, but don't count her out. She is hardworking, optimistic and tenacious. Cast an excellent performer in all areas: singing, dancing and acting. 

Gender: Female

Margot, Serena, and Pilar

Margot, Serena and Pilare are Elle's trio of best friends and Delta Nu sisters. These three roles are perfect for a group of young ladies with great singing and acting abilities, and most importantly, lots of energy! Handpick three girls who make a complementary, dynamic group.

Vocal range top: C#5

Vocal range bottom: F#3

Kate

Kate is a featured Delta Nu sister - the acedemic of the bunch. This is a great role for a young performer who has a little more experience than the rest of the Delta Nu girls.

Gender: Female

Warner Huntington Iii

Warner Huntington III is a fantastic role for a young man who is both a good singer and actor. He is Elle's ex-boyfriend and caught between his former life with Elle and his newfound serious East Coast life with Vivienne. Be sure to cast a guy who can play both worlds.

Gender: Male

Admission Officers

Winthrop, Lowell and Pforzheimer are three admissions officers of Harvard Law School who eventually admit Elle into the program after some critical evaluation. These performers should be great actors, capable of showing some age and character. Feel free to cast three young actors who may look different but complement one another well.

Gender: Any

Emmett Forrest

Emmet Forrest has had to work hard his entire life to get into Harvard Law School, and nothing is going to come between him and becoming a partner in Callahan's law firm, except maybe his surprising love for Elle. Cast your strongest actor with a great singing voice and the acting chops to boot.

Gender: Male

Law Students

Aaron Schultz, Sundeep Agrawal Padamadan and Enid Hoopes are three featured law students with acedemic credits that would intimidate anyone. These are fun roles for actors who can really bring their unique selves to these parts. Cast three young people with distinct personalities and who can make bold choice.

Gender: Any

Vivienne Kensington

Vivienne Kensington is the very opposite of Elle, if judging only by demeanor. She comes from a very conservative East Coast background and is everything that Warner needs to make a serious move to become a lawyer. Cast a great singer and an actress who can make the bold transition from being Elle's nemesis to being her friend.

Gender: Female

Whitney

Whitney is Vivienne's law school friend and partner in mischief when it comes to bringing down Elle.This is fun role for a less experienced performer who has wonderful energy and presence.

Gender: Female

Professor Callahan

Professor Callahan is the most-feared professor at Harvard Law School. Be sure to find a young man who can convey authority and strength. Callahan need not be the most experienced singer, as long as he uses his best acting chops to portray this villainous role.

Gender: Male

Paulette

Paulette is a wonderful role for your best comedienne. While she is a bold character, her self-esteem needs a little boost now and then. Your performer should be a great singer and an even better actor.

Gender: Female

Brooke Wyndam

Brooke Wyndham is a famous fitness video guru on trial for killing her husband. This is a high-spirited role for a young lady who is a triple-threat: a great singer, dancer and actress. Cast an advanced performer who can really portray her very difficult predicament.

Gender: Female

Dewey

Paulette's brash ex-husband who lives in a trailer and holds her dog captive. Although Dewey doesn't have a lot of stage time, it is a great cameo role for a young man who is less experienced but fearless in his acting choices.

Gender: Male

Chutney Wyndham

Chutney Wyndham has a really bad perm and an even worse attitude. She is Brooke's unhappy stepdaughter who is actually guilty for killing her father and framing Brooke. This is a role for an actress who may be new to the stage but has hilarious instincts.

Gender: Female

Kyle

Kyle is the UPS delivery man who Paulette has her eyes on each time his job brings him to the salon. Cast a great actor who may have an Irish Jig in his back pocket.

Gender: Male

Salon Employees

Part of Paulette's entourage at the salon who are very adept at the "Bend and Snap." Cast three performers who can sing and dance well, and, most importantly, have a lot of personality. 

Grandmaster Chad

Grandmaster Chad is a fun cameo role for a young guy who is a great musician but may be less experienced onstage.This is a standout role from the other fraternity brothers and requires a lot of energy.

Gender: Male

Featured Ensemble

Gaelen, Judge, Jet Blue Pilot, Saleswoman, Store Manager, Prison Guard, Bookish Client and Sabrina are featured roles for young performers who may have less experience on the stage but have vibrant personalities. Foremost, cast a range of actors, each one willing to give their unique voices to these roles.

Gender: Any

Ensemble

The ensemble roles consist of Waiters, Delta Nus, Frat Boys, Greek Chorus, Students and Inmates. No role is small, especially in the world of Legally Blonde JR., where actors change hats quickly from character to character. This show is full of energy, so make sure the kids you cast for each and every role are bright and dynamic.
