Sky Masterson:

30s-40s. Smart, handsome gambler. Romantic leading man-type with an edge. Good singer (baritone).

Nathan Detroit:

Mid 30s - 40s. Rogue and gambler, but also respected leader of his gang of ne’er-do-wells. Very funny actor needed who can sing some; not a major singing role.

Nicely-Nicely:

60s-70s. Salvation Army man. Sarah’s paternal figure. Kind and gentle. Lyric baritone.

Benny Southstreet:

Mid 30s - late 40s. Funny character man who can sing (baritone).

Big Jule:

Tough gangster. Could be very tall or very big OR very small.

Harry The Horse:
