BREAKDOWN
The following features and covers come out of the dancing ensemble:
RITA/RHODA (mid 20s to early 30s): Featured ensemble tracks. Tall, comedic, sexy, flirty showgirls. Not very bright, but not played over-the-top.
JUDY HAYNES COVER (mid 20s): Covers JUDY HAYNES, the younger, more ambitious Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is sexy and flirty – a winning charmer no man can resist. Strong tap and theatre jazz needed. Seeking a major song-and-dance performer. Chest-mix.
PHIL DAVIS COVER (late 20s to mid 30s, no older): Covers PHIL DAVIS, the ambitious, go-getting, song-and-dance partner of the team of Wallace and Davis. An irrepressible clown, operator, incorrigible skirt-chaser… and definite ladies man. He saved Bob’s life during the war and became his partner and engine behind their fabulous success. He must have boyish charm and sex appeal. Strong tap and theatre jazz needed. Seeking a major song-and-dance comic performer. Bari-tenor.
