Excellent dancer/singers. Age range of female characters: 20s – early 30s; age range of male characters: 20s-30s. May cover principals (see below).

Ensemble members may cover the following principal roles:

Rosemary: Early 20s. Secretary at the World Wide Wicket Co. Good-natured and sweet, but also smart and direct – knows what she wants, and goes after it. Natural middle-range chest or mix to D.

Smitty: Early 20s. Secretary at World Wide Wickets. Wisecracking and worldly. Sings where she speaks – alto with strong, traditional belt to Bb/C. NO POP BELTS PLEASE.

Hedy La Rue: 30s. Cunning bombshell. Gorgeous woman who uses her looks and sexuality to get what she wants.

Miss Jones: 30s–50s. The head secretary. Tyrant who relishes her limited authority and lords it over the other employees. Character soprano and/or high belty mix.

Pierrepont Finch: Early 20s. Clever young businessman, eager to climb the corporate ladder to success. Has a façade of innocence and charm. High baritone or tenor, with clarion G.

J B Biggley: 40s–60s. Gruff and a bit blithering – struggles to appear in control. Lusts after the bombshell Hedy La Rue. Character baritone with the hidden soul of a crooner;

Bud Frump: 20–30s. Boss’s conniving nephew. Will do anything to get a promotion. Jealous of Finch and anyone who stands in his (Bud’s) way. Characterful high baritone or tenor with a commanding G; an unexpected dramatic soprano.

Twimble / Whomper: One actor plays both. Twimble: Head of the mailroom at World Wide Wickets for 25 years; consummate “company man”. Whomper: The BIG BOSS. Self-made man. No nonsense or pretense.

Bert Bratt: 30s-50s. Director of Personnel at World Wide Wickets – middle-management executive. “Yes-man” to the Boss; will do pretty much anything to stay in good favor with upper management. Character bass or baritone.
