Kim and Ursula have the largest roles of the teen girls. The others are chorus/cameo roles and each has 1 or 2 solos and a few lines. If your production is adding the song "Bye Bye Birdie" all (or most/some) of the teen girls chorus' roles will be enlarged.

Oh, I'm not in it. I'm just wondering because the four telephone hour girls have equal sized solos and then there's Penelope Ann who has a nice solo. But what does Deborah Sue do?

Hmmm... I don't remember. One problem with Bye Bye Birdie is that it's hard to tell any of the girls apart because there are so many.

It will depend on your director but other then "The Telephone Hour", two or three girls sing with Kim in "One Boy" and also have lines in this scene. I believe the script notates this as Alice, Deborah Sue and I forget which other girl.

Mostly the parts are fairly equal though with the girls each having a few lines before "A Lot of Livin" and in the scene at the Ice House.
