CHRISFemale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

You want Chris at your party. She will talk to people she doesn’t know, and things to say to all silences and generate laughter. Part of this is because Chris is at home in crowds, holding court, being the centre of attention. Without Chris in her life, Annie would be better behaved, her life less fun. The two of them are like naughty schoolgirls. Ideal car — who cares, as long as it’s a cabriolet. Ideal holiday — Algarve. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

ANNIEFemale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Annie will join in mischief but is at heart more conformist and less confrontational than Chris. After Chris has put a waiter’s back up in the restaurant, Annie will go in and pour calm. The mischievousness Chris elicits saves Annie from being a saint. She has enough edge to be interesting, and enough salt not to be too sweet. Ideal car — who cares, as long as it’s reliable. Ideal holiday — walking in English countryside. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

CORAFemale38-42 y.o.All ethnicities

Around 40. Cora’s past is the most eclectic, her horizons broadened by having gone to college. This caused a tectonic shift with her more parochial parents. She came back to them pregnant and tail-between-legs, but Cora has too much native resilience to be downtrodden. She is the joker in the pack, but never plays the fool. Her wit is deadpan. It raises laughter in others, but rarely in herself. Her relationship with her daughter is more akin to that between Chris and Annie. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

JESSIEFemale66-79 y.o.All ethnicities

Get on the right side of Jessie as a teacher and she’ll be the teacher you remember for life. Get on the wrong side and you will regret every waking hour. A lover of life, Jessie doesn’t bother with cosmetics — her elixir of life is bravery. Jessie goes on rollercoasters. Her husband has been with her a long time and is rarely surprised by her actions. Jessie bothers about grammar and will correct stallholders regarding their abuse of the apostrophe “s”. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

CELIAFemale35-50 y.o.All ethnicities

The fact that Celia is in the WI is the greatest justification of its existence. A woman more at home in a department store than a church hall, she may be slightly younger than Chris or the same age, but she always feels like she’s drifted in from another world. Which she has. She is particularly enamoured of Jessie, and despite the fact Jessie has very little time for most Celias of this world, there is a rebelliousness in Celia to which Jessie responds. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

RUTHFemale40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Ruth’s journey is from the false self-confidence of the emotionally abused to the genuine self confidence of the woman happy in her own skin. Ruth is eager to please but not a rag doll, and despite being Marie’s right-hand woman she is desperate to be the cartilage in the spine of the WI and keep everyone happy. She has spine herself — if she was too wet, no-one would want her around. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

MARIEFemale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Marie has gradually built the current ‘Marie’ around herself over the years as a defense mechanism. She went to her Oz, Cheshire, and found Oz didn’t want her. She came back scorched. The WI is a trophy to her, which justifies her entire existence. There is a lingering part of Marie that would love to be on that calendar. Ideal car — something German and well-valeted. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

JOHNMale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Annie's husband. John is a human sunflower. Not a saint. Not a hero. Just the kind of man you’d want in your car when crossing America. When he dies it feels like someone somewhere turned a light off. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

RODMale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Chris's husband. You have to be a certain kind of guy to stick with Chris and Rod loves it. He can give back what he gets, and has a deadpan humour which has always made Chris laugh. He drinks a lot but never so much as to have a problem. He would work every hour to make his shop a success. And John was his mate, even though the relationship was originally channeled through their wives. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

LAWRENCEMale26-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Hesitant without being nerdy, Lawrence is a shy young man with enough wit to make a joke and enough spirit to turn up at the WI hall in the first place. When he arranges the shots, he is close to female nudity but sees only the photo. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

LADY CRAVENSHIREFemale60-69 y.o.All ethnicities

Lady Cravenshire really doesn’t mean to be so patronizing. But the WI girls seem from another world. The world of her estate workers. Dress: when she makes an entrance, she must make an entrance. Largely white or cream to outplay the others, with a bigger hat than Marie. She is not a tweed-wearer. She must glide in like a galleon. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

ELAINEFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Elaine really doesn’t mean to be so patronizing. But Jessie seems from another world. The world of her gran. Dress: her clinical whites slice through like a knife. You feel you could cut yourself on that dress. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

LIAMMale26-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Liam would like to be directing other things than photoshoots for washing powders. He’s not so unprofessional as to let it show, but we can sense a slight weariness at having to deal with these women. There’s a resigned patience to his actions and each smile he makes we feel is professional. For Liam, this photoshoot is a job. And not the job he wanted. Dress: Avoid wearing shades inside a building. If you’ve gone down that route, you’ve made the weary boy a wideboy. "CALENDAR GIRLS"

Norman ThayerMale56-56 y.o.All ethnicities

80 y.o. "ON GOLDEN POND"

Ethel ThayerFemale56-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Wife of Norman, 70. "ON GOLDEN POND"

Bill Ray Sr.Male40-49 y.o.All ethnicities

BuddyMale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Born a human but raised at the North Pole as a Christmas Elf, Buddy is eager to find his place in the world. He is a child at heart and that child-like curiosity makes him both endearing and gets him into trouble. Vocal range top: C5, Vocal range bottom: Ab2 "ELF"

JovieFemale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Buddy's girlfriend. She works at Macy's and has a bit of a cynical outlook on life and love because of the men she's dated. She is caught off guard by Buddy's genuinely big heart. Vocal range top: D5, Vocal range bottom: G3 "ELF"

WalterMale55-65 y.o.All ethnicities

Buddy's workaholic father. He is a Children's book writer, but lacks any of the childlike spirit that Buddy has. He is selfish, tense, and generally angry with life. Vocal range top: G4, Vocal range bottom: A2 "ELF"

EmilyFemale40-50 y.o.All ethnicities

Walter's wife. Though she is sweet and willing to take him in, she thinks Buddy is crazy at first. Wishes her husband would spend more time with the family. Vocal range top: Eb5, Vocal range bottom: F3 "ELF"

DebFemale25-55 y.o.All ethnicities

Walter's secretary. Takes an instant liking to Buddy simply for the novelty of it. Though she aims to please and is a bit of a suck-up, she feels under appreciated. Vocal range top: Eb5, Vocal range bottom: D4 "ELF"

ManagerMale35-40 y.o.All ethnicities

A heavy-set manager at Macy's. He is a good, friendly guy just trying to do his job and get by. Vocal range top: F#4, Vocal range bottom: B2 "ELF"

GreenwayMale55-65 y.o.All ethnicities

Walter's boss. He is what Walter will become if he continues down the path he is on. A tyrannical, workaholic who cares nothing about the people around him or who work for him. "ELF"

SantaMale65-80 y.o.All ethnicities

Just another workingman. Loves his job and Christmas but also likes to kick-back and watch the game when a rare opportunity arises. A natural storyteller. Vocal range top: E4, Vocal range bottom: A2 "ELF"

ChadwickMale40-50 y.o.All ethnicities

One of Walter's right-hand men. He is desperate to keep his job, and perhaps the dumber of the two. "ELF"

MatthewsMale35-40 y.o.All ethnicities

One of Walter's right-hand men. He is desperate to keep his job and is the schemer of the two. "ELF"
