In the musical Bye bye Birdie, how many scenes is mae peterson in?
I am planning on playing Mae Peterson in my school play of Bye Bye Birdie. I have never seen the movie or a play so i am curious to know how major is this role. Are there many scenes that she is in? I am just curious, it doesn’t make a difference if i accept the role or not but i dont really know much about her except that she is crazy. Some info on her would be nice.
mae is such a fun role. She has a lot of onstage time but not nessecarely alot of lines. It’s a nice size role! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mae is a minor role, but if played “right,” can really steal the show! she’s in maybe 2 or 3 scenes, 4 at most. she has some dramatic- but hilarious- monologues. i don’t remember if she has a song.. but i just remember her being incredibly outrageous. i really hope you stick with this role- if you do it right, you could get major exit applause! and be the most annoying, but loved, character on stage! good luck!
Our school did this for this years school play and it was actualy played by a boy and it was so much more fun to see a boy play this part then the regular girl part. i beleve that he was in 4 scenes but it was well worth it! And she does have a song titled “a mother doesnt matter anymore”
