Seeking:
Normax:
The young man who the Moes come to “save”. He has lots of growing up to do during their visit. Crooner.

Tall, authoritative, but with a gleam in his eye. Could also be on heavier side.
Eat Moe:
Always extremely focused on food, excellent with ballads. Could be either very thin or overweight.
Four-eyed Moe:
The leader: magnetic and pragmatic.
Little Moe:
High tenor and high energy (acrobatics welcome)
No Moe:
The no-nonsense Moe, but his earnestness is funny.
Note: all Moes need to be collaborative, inventive, excellent with audience participation, strong singers and dancers (including tap), and good at improv. All ethnicities encouraged. All actors guys need to be able to capture the essence of the 1930's sensibilities.
