A major singing star, Bob is the guiding force behind the song and dance team of Wallace and Davis. He wears his fame easily and is a born leader but has some trouble with social and romantic interactions. Despite his occasional gruffness, he is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for his true love. A superb singer with a crooning style - dances extremely well. Baritone. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"
The fun-loving, go-getting song-and-dance partner of the team Wallace and Davis. An irrepressible clown, operator and incorrigible flirt who is determined to see his friend happy, even if it requires scheming and outright deception. He has a boyish charm and sex appeal. Strong jazz and tap-dancer – a song-and-dance comic performer; BariTenor. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"
The sensible, responsible half of the up-and-coming song-and-dance team, the Haynes Sisters. Destined to be a star in her own right, she is nonetheless hesitant to take the spotlight for herself. A woman of decent, upstanding principles, she is devoted to her younger sister. Like Bob, she hides her yearning for true love under a protective shell. A rich chest mix sound with a soprano extension. Dances extremely well. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"
The younger, more ambitious, slightly scheming Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is flirty and a winning charmer. Strong jazz and tap dancer – a major song-and-dance performer with a chest mix. "WHITE CHRISTMAS"
A retired US Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post-World War II America. Once a powerful leader, he now struggles to run an Inn in Vermont.
