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 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. Superb singer with a crooning style who moves very well. Baritone.
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 dancer with tap experience, comedic performer. Bari-Tenor.
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. Female singer of quiet beauty and charm with a rich chest mix sound and a soprano extension. Moves well.
The younger, more ambitious, slightly scheming Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is flirty - a winning charmer whom no man can resist. Strong dancer with tap experience. Chest mix.
A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post World World 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. Non-singing role, with the exception of one line.
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. An appealing character-comedienne with a clarion belt voice.
The General’s granddaughter, Susan is a loveable and outgoing real kid. She is very smart, wise beyond her years, and cares deeply about her grandfather. Once bitten hard by the showbiz bug, she demonstrates everything that is winning in the ultimate child performer. Excellent belt voice and able to move well.
Army buddy of Bob and Phil’s, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show. Fast-talking, New York professional. Non-dancer, non-singer.
Bob and Phil’s two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy, and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.
Bob and Phil’s two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy, and fun, although perhaps not the smartest.
The ultimate taciturn New Englander, who helps out at the inn and takes life at a very slow pace. Non-singing, non-dancing.
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. Non-singing, non-dancing.
