Characters
Bob Wallace
Sensible, ambitious, wholesome and talented, Bob is a classic leading man. A smooth and polished crooner onstage, he loses his composure offstage when he encounters Betty.
Phil Davis
A comic song-and-dance performer, Phil can do it all. With humor and versatility, he brings a goofy spark to their act – and their friendship. In the stage show, Phil is quite the womanizer… that is, until he meets his great love, Judy.
Betty Haynes
A singer of quiet beauty and charm, Betty is a class act. Though somewhat reserved, she’s willing to put her foot down when she means business.
Judy Haynes
A vibrant song-and-dance performer, Judy has more fire and ambition than her sister. Her vivacity and sense of humor make her a perfect match for Phil.
General Henry Waverly – Kindhearted and fair-minded, the General is a respected and beloved leader. In his late 50s or mid 60s, he is a simple, decent man.
Martha Watson
A winning, appealing character-comedienne, Martha manages everything at the inn with skill and a bit of sass. In the stage show, Martha is a retired hoofer – a former vaudevillian with plenty of talent left to share.
Susan Waverly
The general’s granddaughter is a composed teen in the film, but a firebrand of a tween in the stage show. Perky and optimistic, she ultimately grows to love show business.
