I just took a look at my script and cant find her. I wonder if that's something that got written into the revival version?

Quite possibly.... I hope I find out before the first rehearsal.

Could she be one of Meg's friends?

I think Megs friends are named Sister Miller and Doris Miller

It might be a character the director made up.

No, she's mentioned in productions dating back to 1995, which is why I think she's probably something from the revival script. Maybe the girl who organizes the big fan bash in Act Two?

They don't license out the revival score/libretto.

Miss Weston is indeed the woman who organizes the party they throw for Joe Hardy as act one draws to a close. She has a few funny lines which lead to the end of the act.

Your director may have other fun ideas as well, in a production I was recently in we used Weston as Welch's (owner of the Washington Senators) secretary, having him follow him around in each scene, greatly improving her stage time. We also explored a relationship between the two, just some fun stuff like that.

Good luck! The show is a lot of fun.
