Orange Mom
Orange Mom has been the star of countless musicals in her head. Favorite roles include Idiot Mom in Seriously, Mom -- You're an Idiot; Short-Tempered Mom in But We Had This for Dinner Last Night; and Over-40 Mom in Puppets Of a Certain Age. Orange Mom would like to thank her ungrateful kids and the patriarchy for inspiring her work.
Blue Mom
Blue Mom most recently starred in Smile Through the Pain, playing the roles of Gin and Ginger. She dedicates her performance in The Very Worst to the institutions that made her blue and ignited her passion for show tune revenge.
Rapper Dog
Rapper Dog got her breakthrough role as DJ Rabbi Ruff on the IGTV series Lotta Likes, Lotta Latkes. She'd like to thank big dogs, little dogs, red dogs, blue dogs, yellow dogs, green dogs...@WhatADogParty.
1st Grade Unicorn
1st Grade Unicorn originated the role of Aggrieved Child in Every Musical Number Ever. Her performance is dedicated to the color pink, glitter, and all of her Rainbow High dolls, but especially the one with the hair that changes color.
3rd Grade Dog
3rd Grade Dog loves soccer, stray animals, and winning. For the record, she does NOT understand why she can't dye her fur blue until she's 18. Her performance is dedicated to claw machines everywhere.
Alive, Alert, Awake, Enthusiastic Teacher
Alive, Alert, Awake, Enthusiastic Teacher truly has no business being in The Very Worst, for she is truly The Best and is just doing her darn job times a million, thank you very little. She would like to un-thank the very worst parents everywhere.
