The sweet, wholesome, naive, attractive ingénue. An innocent and demure girl who transferred from an all-girls school to attend Rydell during her senior year. She spent her summer at the beach with Danny, unaware of the fact that he was a Greaser until running into him on the first day of school. She is shy and vulnerable, and doesn't fit in with the Greasers, yet she still loves Danny, and can't decide whether to accept him as he is or leave him. Looking for someone who possesses that fresh-faced girl next door sweet quality (without being saccharine), but can then transform before our eyes and cross over into Pink Lady territory. She must have a mixed voice that can handle the difficult chest belting and the pure head voice moments of the scores big powerhouse numbers! Youtube: Since I Don t Have You Susan Wood

The cronies stand nearby until she turns to shoo them away.] Ohhhh, look whose comin Patty Simcox, the Little Lulu of Rydell High!

[His tough boy boy demeanor dissolves into a genuine smile.] Sandy! Hiiiiii. Hi! [Brings her DS a bit.] I thought you were going to Immaculata? We had a change of plans. I don t believe it! [He stops short, looks around and sees the guys have followed them DS and are staring at them intently. In an instant he snaps back to his macho posture, doing almost a riff of cool and nervous trying desperately to hang onto his image. He shakes back his shoulders, flips his hair, and digs his hands into his pockets. Back to Mr. Cool. The Iceman.] but that's cool, baby. Cool, you know how it is. Rockin and rollin and whatnot! [Looking at him as though he has lost his senses.] Danny? That's my name, don t wear it out. What's the matter with you?

Well, don t sweat it honey, have one of mine! [She swings the wallet open and an accordion picture folder drops at great length to the floor.] Jeez, you're turning into a one-woman U.S.O.!

[EUGENE begins to exit. follows his every move in a comical pas des deux. ultimately jumps in front of EUGENE and stares him down then outlines a square and pops him on the forehead with his palm.

15 Sandy / Danny Act 2 Sc. 2 (After Dance) [ appears standing at the sink in the girl s bathroom looking at herself in the mirror. Clearly she has been crying.] You ve hurt me once again, Danny Zuko. And once again I can t forget you [ enters.] There you are, Sandy! I ve been looking all over for you. Go back to your Cha-cha, Danny, and leave me alone. Who?...No, listen, Sandy, that was only a stupid contest. You know, I always imagined my senior year romance would be a completely different. Me, too. I m sorry. Saying sorry doesn t always work, Zuko. Look, I can never be sure of you. One minute you re wonderful and the next you re [weird I m always the same person you met at the beach?] [They have had this conversation before, he cuts her off.] Come on, what do you want me to do?

I already have the tickets. [ shows her the tickets he has just won at the dance contest. walks away without answering.] I ll call you!? [ smiles, but doesn t see her.]

17 Sandy / Danny (Burger Place Scene) [Heads turn as turns a corner and approaches them. She is the ultimate Greaser dream-girl, a wild new hair style over one ear, motorcycle jacket with Big D, skintight pedal pushers, gold earrings and gum chewing. She looks more alive than she ever has.] [slack-jawed in disbelief.] Sandy! That s my name, don t wear it out. To-tal! Wick-ed! So ya noticed, huh? Uh-huh. Tell me about it... BUD. [Looking him up and down.] So, really, what s with the square duds, dude? Well, I thought that you Zuko, we got wavelength trouble. When I m on yours, you ain t on mine. I changed for you and you changed for me. I d say that was some kinda wavelength. I still got my ring, but I guess you re still kinda mad at me, huh? [He reaches out for her hand. A little shyness creeps out from behind her façade. She smiles and takes his hand.] Nah. That s ancient history.

18 [He puts his ring on it. and hug.] Suppose we ll last? [ gives him a reassuring smile and puts her arm around him.] Only time will tell, Zuko. ARE YOU SURE? BOTH YES, I M SURE DOWN DEEP INSIDE
