40 roles

UNDERSTUDY FOR BOB WALLACEMale26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

"White Christmas". Principal Role. 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 he 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 who moves very well. Baritone.

UNDERSTUDY FOR PHIL DAVISMale26-35 y.o.All ethnicities

"White Christmas". The fun-loving, go-getting song-and-dance partner of the team of 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.

UNDERSTUDY FOR BETTY HAYNESMale25-29 y.o.All ethnicities

"White Christmas". 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 sound and a soprano extension. Must move well.

UNDERSTUDY FOR JUDY HAYNESMale20-24 y.o.All ethnicities

"White Christmas". 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

"White Christmas". A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to civilian life in post-World War 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. Except for one line, a non-singing role.

MIKEMale25-39 y.o.All ethnicities
