23 roles
Nathan Detroit is the heart and soul of Guys And Dolls JR. Nathan's big secret is that he wants to marry Adelaide; he just can't bring himself to admit it.
Miss Adelaide is the classic "intellectually-challenged floozy." Adelaide needs to be funny and able to do a convincingly thick New York City dialect. A character full of personality.
Sky Masterson is the quintessential, "smooth-as-velvet" Broadway gambler; he's slick and charming. In today's terms he would be called "a player." He has a soft spot for Sarah Brown.
Sarah Brown is the "girl next door" with an adventurous side that's waiting to escape. She is gently authoritative, the mirror opposite of Sky. Sky is her weakness. Sarah is about substance as much as Sky is about style.
Arvide Abernathy is Sarah Brown's grandfather/grandmother and the bass drum player in the Mission Band.
Nicely - Nicely Johnson is walking, talking, Broadway comedy.
Benny Southstreet and Rusty Charlie are the small-time gambler sidekicks of Nicely- Nicely Johnson.

Harry the Horse and Big Jule are colorful additions to the crapshooters crew. They should be strong and humorous characters.
Harry the Horse and Big Jule are colorful additions to the crapshooters crew. They should be strong and humorous characters. Big Jule is one hulking thug.
Lt. Brannigan is the police officer that always plays the patsy and is outwitted by the Gamblers.
General Cartwright is the formidable leader of the Save-a-Soul Mission organization.
The Gamblers/Guys are the well-dressed "comic glue" of the show. A variety of gamblers, pedestrians, workers, NYC folks of all types will work perfectly for this group.

The Hot Box Girls work in the club and are in the act "A Bushel and a Peck" where Miss Adelaide is the headliner. Strong singers and dancers. Time to bring out the "cornball!" All blocking and choreography will be kept appropriate to the vision and values of a First Protestant Church production.
The Master of Ceremonies is the host at the Hot Box Club.
The Dolls are other ensemble females that are not Hot Box girls or Mission Band members. Like the Guys, they can represent a variety of colorful NYC characters. All blocking and choreography will be kept appropriate to the vision and values of a First Protestant Church production.
This small ensemble of kids ages 4-7 will follow their “parents” around and be onstage in a limited number of scenes. A great way for a little ones to experience a theatrical production without a huge commitment!
