7 roles

BOB WALLACEBoth genders26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. Easygoing, charming, decent principled man. A major singing star in post-World War II America. He wears his fame easily, but is seeking something more important: a decent, fulfilling life and true love. While helping his Army unit general regain his dignity, he defines his own life and meets his true love. A superb singer with a crooning style who moves very well. Basic tap is a plus. Baritone.

PHIL DAVISBoth genders26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. The ambitious, go-getting, song-and-dance partner of the team of Wallace and Davis. An irrepressible clown and definite ladies man. He saved BOB’s life during the war and became his partner and engine behind their fabulous success. He has boyish charm and sex appeal. Strong tap and theatre jazz dance needed. A major song-and-dance comic performer. Bari-tenor.

BETTY HAYNESBoth genders25-29 y.o.All ethnicities

Female-presenting. The sensible responsible half of the up-and-coming song-and-dance team the Haynes Sisters. She has a beautiful, rich singing voice that matches her decent, upstanding principles. She is overprotective of her younger sister and –like BOB– she needs something more. Of course they are ultimately the perfect couple. A major female singer of quiet beauty and charm with a rich chest-mix sound & a soprano extension.

GENERAL HENRY WAVERLYBoth genders56-65 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post-World War II America. Once a powerful leader now struggles to run an inn in Vermont. He remains a man of great principle and dignity. Beneath his hard, curmudgeon, military exterior, lays a warm, compassionate man in need of family and love. Still a handsome, vital man. Non-singing role.

RALPH SHELDRAKEBoth genders35-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. Former Army buddy of BOB and PHIL’s, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show. Fast-talking, New York professional. Baritone.

EZEKIEL FOSTER/MR. SNORING MANBoth genders40-54 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. Comic/character man. EZEKIEL: Vermont local with dry delivery who is a stagehand for the show and comes to love showbusiness. MR. SNORING MAN: Passenger on the train to Vermont; vocal feature in the song “Snow”. Excellent legit baritone.

MIKE NULTYBoth genders26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Male-presenting. Strong singer, first or second tenor preferred but not absolutely necessary. Harassed, overworked, frustrated stage manager of Bob & Phil's show. A Jason Alexander/Nathan Lane-type comic, but not necessarily short and/or round. Baritone.
