Breakdown

JERRY: Charming, boyish, unselfconscious, eager, naïve, “fancy-free” and a natural talent. Jerry seems unaware of his own charm and yet sometimes appears to try harder than required. Lyric Bari-Tenor with natural acting ability. Star-level dancer with tap and ballroom skills. 20-30 years old.

DALE: A small-town girl climbing up on the Broadway ladder toward uncertain stardom. Smart, independent, plucky, fiery. Middle-class background, but elegance and charm come naturally to her. Mezzo/Belter with natural acting ability. Phenomenal dancer with tap and ballroom skills. 20-30 years old.
