26 roles

Bob WallaceMale26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

A major singing star, Bob is the guiding force behind the song and dance team of Wallace and Davis. He wears his fame easily, but has some trouble with social and romantic interactions. Despite occasional gruffness, he is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for true love. A superb singer with a crooning style who moves very well. Baritone.

Phil DavisMale26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

The fun-loving, go-getting song-and-dance partner of the team Wallace and Davis. An irrepressible clown, operator, and incorrigible ladies’ man 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-dancing needed - a song-and-dance comic performer. Bari-tenor.

Betty HaynesFemale25-29 y.o.All ethnicities

The sensible, responsible half of the upcoming 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 female singer of quiet beauty and charm with a rich chest mix and soprano extension. Must move well.

Judy HaynesFemale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

The younger, more ambitious, slightly scheming Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is sexy and flirty - a winning charmer whom no man can resist. Strong jazz and tap dancing needed - a major song-and-dance performer. Chest mix.

General Henry WaverlyMale56-65 y.o.All ethnicities

A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post WW II America. Once a powerful leader, he now struggles to run an Inn in Vermont. He remains a man of great principle and dignity. Beneath his curmudgeonly military exterior lies a warm, compassionate man in need of family and love. With the exception of one line, a non-singing role.

Martha WatsonFemale46-65 y.o.All ethnicities

Once a Broadway star, now the General’s housekeeper at the Inn, Martha has a very dry, wry, wisecracking sense of humor. Bighearted, but completely unsentimental, she runs the General’s life in spite of his protestations. She is an irrepressible meddler, but always for what she believes to be the other guy’s best interests. A winning, appealing character-comedienne with a clarion belt voice.

Ralph SheldrakeMale35-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Army buddy of Bob & Phil’s, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show. Fast-talking, New York professional. A Baritone.

RitaFemale25-34 y.o.All ethnicities

Rita and Rhoda – Bob and Phil’s two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.

Rita and Rhoda – Bob and Phil’s two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.

Ezekiel FosterMale45-59 y.o.All ethnicities

The ultimate taciturn New Englander, who helps out at the Inn and takes like at a very slow pace.

MikeMale25-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Bob and Phil’s Stage Manager. Has a tendency to be over-dramatic and completely hysterical, but will get things done. Never seen without his whistle and clipboard, which he uses to attempt to keep order.

Bob and Phil’s extremely competent assistant. ENSEMBLE.
