3 roles
Shirley Temple-like up-and-coming vaudeville star, and Mama Rose’s youngest daughter. Onstage demeanor is sugary-sweet, cute, precocious, and adorable to the nth degree. Mama Rose’s shining star. Strong child singer, dancer.
Mama Rose’s oldest daughter, has always played second fiddle to her baby sister. Shy, awkward, a little sad, and subdued; she doesn’t have her sister’s confidence. Strong acting skills needed. Always dances slightly out of step but the actress playing this part must be able to dance.
