Bob Wallace: (35-40) A former army captain and half of the song-and-dance duo Wallace and Davis, Bob is a world-wise, cynical yet charming individual with a strong sense of loyalty and duty. He falls for Betty, the elder of the Haynes sisters. His key songs include Happy Holidays, White Christmas, Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep, and How Deep is the Ocean. Male presenting character.
Phil Davis: (30-35) Phil, the other half of the duo, is Bob's complete opposite - a fun-loving, adventurous, and somewhat mischievous individual who's always on the lookout for a good time and romance. He's instantly smitten with Judy Haynes. His main songs include The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing, Sisters (Reprise), I Love a Piano, and Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep. Male presenting character.
Betty Haynes: (30-35) Betty is the older Haynes sister. She's independent, pragmatic, and protective of her younger sister Judy. Despite her skepticism, she finds herself falling for Bob. Her featured songs include Sisters, Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep, Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me, and How Deep is the Ocean. Female presenting character.
Judy Haynes: (25-30) Judy is the more vivacious and adventurous of the Haynes sisters. She's a romantic at heart and often the driving force behind many of their decisions, including the one to follow Bob and Phil to Vermont. Her key songs include Sisters, The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing, I Love a Piano, and Snow. Female presenting character.
General Henry Waverly: (50-60) The General is a stern, authoritative figure with a gruff exterior but a kind and caring heart. He's the owner of the failing Vermont Inn and was the commanding officer of Bob and Phil during World War II. He doesn't have any solo songs, but his character plays a significant role in the plot. Male presenting character.
Martha Watson: (45-50) Martha is the General's lovable and nosy housekeeper. She's a Broadway performer in retirement and still has a flair for the dramatic. She has a heart of gold and only wants what's best for the General. Her main songs include Let Me Sing and I'm Happy and Falling Out of Love Can Be Fun. Female presenting character.
Susan Waverly: (9-12) Susan is the General's curious and intelligent granddaughter with dreams of becoming a performer. She's wise beyond her years but still has a childlike innocence about her. She sings Let Me Sing and I'm Happy. Female presenting character.
