Notice: Audition Call Type: EPA
Bob Wallace (35 - 42), baritone, a major singing star, Bob is the guiding force behind the song and dance team of Wallace and Davis. Wears his fame easily, but has some trouble with social and romantic interactions. Despite occasional gruffness, he is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for true love. Excellent singer with a crooning style who moves very well. Tap and jazz.
Phil Davis (35 - 42), bari-tenor, the fun-loving song-and-dance partner of the team 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 ballroom, jazz, and tap-dancer.
Betty Haynes (25 - 38), sensible, responsible half of the Haynes sisters act. Classic elegance. Destined to be a star, but hesitant to take the spotlight. Devoted to her sister. Hides a yearning for true love under a protective shell. Female singer of quiet beauty and charm with a rich chest mix and soprano extension. Moves well.
Judy Haynes (25 - 35), younger, more ambitious and slightly scheming other sister. Wholesome and adorable, sexy and flirty. Strong jazz and tap dancer. Strong singer with a chest mix.
General Henry Waverly (58 - 65), retired Army general with a curmudgeonly military exterior, adjusting to retired life in post WW II America. Precise and orderly, struggling to run the Inn in Vermont. A man of integrity. Underneath a warm compassionate man in need of family and love.
Martha Watson (48 - 65), Broadway belter, once a Broadway star, now the General’s housekeeper. The true force behind running the Inn. Very dry wit and frank with a wisecracking sense of humor. Big-hearted, but unsentimental. Irrepressible meddler, believing she acts on everyone’s best behalf. Strong singer and mover.
Ralph Sheldrake (35 - 42), jokester Army buddy of Bob and Phil’s, now a major television executive. Fast talking, loud, brash New York professional with a good head on his shoulders.
Rita and Rhoda (25 - 32), Bob and Phil’s star chorus showgirls. Brash, sexy, and fun. Perhaps not the brightest.
Ezekiel Foster (45 - 55)– practical, the ultimate laid back New Englander. A man of few words. Caretaker at the Inn. Takes life at a very leisurely pace. Doubles as the Snoring Man. Tap and Jazz a plus.
Mike (25 - 38), Bob and Phil’s Stage Manager. Can be overly dramatic and often hysterical, but gets the job done. Works to attempt a sense of control and order for the company. Doubles as Mr. Snoring Man and Train Conductor. Tap and Jazz.
Tessie (late 20s to 30s), young character woman to play Bob and Phil’s secretary, doubles as Head Seamstress and Mrs. Snoring Man, winter tourist. Mezzo-soprano, belter. Tap and Jazz.
