Cast Breakdown:

Bob Wallace - A major singing star, a good guy and the guiding force behind the song-and-dance team of Wallace and Davis.  He is sometimes gruff but deeply kind and principled and a bit of a romantic.  Baritone and moves well.

Phil Davis - The fun-loving, comic partner of the song-and-dance team.  He's an irrepressible clown, slightly scheming and a boyishly charming ladies' man.   Bari-Tenor.  Dancer:  jazz and tap.

Betty Haynes - The sensible, yet idealistic, half of the upcoming song-and-dance team, The Haynes Sisters. Chest and soprano.  Must move well.

Judy Haynes - She's the younger, more ambitious Haynes sister - scheming & flirty. Chest mix.  Dancer: jazz and tap.

General Henry Waverly - A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to civilian life in post WWII America.  Once a powerful leader, he now struggles to run an inn in Vermont.  He's a compassionate man with a curmudgeonly exterior.  Mostly a non-singing role.

Martha Watson - Once a Broadway star, now the general's housekeeper at the inn.  Martha has a very dry, wry, wisecracking sense of humor.  She's an irrepressible meddler.  Belt voice.  

Susan Waverly - The general's 9-year-old granddaughter, who gets bitten by the showbiz bug, she is very smart, wise beyond her years and loves her grandfather very much.  She's a natural performer.  Belt voice and moves well.

Ralph Sheldrake - Army buddy of Bob and Phil's, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show.  He's a fast-talking, New York professional.

Rita and Rhoda - Bob and Phil's two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy and fun, although perhaps not the brightest bulbs on the block.

Ezekiel Foster - The ultimate taciturn New Englander, who helps out at the inn and takes life at a very slow pace.  

Mike - Bob and Phil's stage manager, he is always attempting to keep order and has a tendency to be over-dramatic and completely hysterical.
