WHITE CHRISTMAS

SEEKING:

Bob Wallace (late 20s to mid 30s) Male identifying. A major singing star, Bob is the guiding force behind the song and dance team of Wallace and Davis. Despite his occasional gruffness, he is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for his true love. A very good singer with a crooning style who moves well. Baritone.

Phil Davis (late 20s to mid 30s) Male identifying. The fun-loving, go-getting song-and-dance partner of the team Wallace and Davis. He’s a man who is determined to see his friend happy, even if it requires scheming and outright deception. He has a boyish charm. Strong jazz and tap-dancing; baritone-tenor.

Betty Haynes (mid 20s to early 30s) Female identifying. The sensible, responsible half of the up and coming song-and-dance team, the Haynes Sisters. A woman of decent, upstanding principles, she is devoted to her younger sister. Like Bob, she hides her yearning for true love under a protective shell. Rich chest mix sound and a soprano extension. Moves well.

Judy Haynes (early to mid 20s) Female identifying. The younger, more ambitious, Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is flirty and scheming – a winning charmer! Strong jazz and tap dancing; chest mix.

General Henry Waverly (late 50s to mid 60s) Male identifying. A retired U.S. Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post World War II America. Once a powerful leader, he now runs a struggling inn in Vermont. He remains a man of great principle and dignity. Beneath his curmudgeonly military exterior lies a warm, compassionate man. He sings a portion of one song, but this is a non-dancing role.

Martha Watson (late 40s to mid 60s) Female identifying. Once a Broadway star, now the General’s housekeeper and receptionist at the inn. Martha has a very dry, wry, wisecracking sense of humor. Bighearted but rather unsentimental, she runs the General’s life in spite of his protestations. She is an irrepressible meddler, but always for what she believes to be the other guy’s best interests. A winning, appealing character-comedienne with a belt voice. Moves well.

Susan Waverly (9-12 years old) Female identifying. The General’s granddaughter visiting from her home in California, Susan is a lovable and outgoing kid. She is very smart, wise beyond her years, and cares deeply about her grandfather. She has an excellent belt voice, and is able to move well.

Ralph Sheldrake (Mid 20s to late 30s) Male identifying. Army buddy of Bob and Phil’s, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show. Fast-talking New York professional. Baritone.

Ezekiel Foster (mid 40s to late 50s) Male identifying. The ultimate taciturn New Englander who helps out at the inn and takes life at a very slow pace; definitely has a wry sense of humor. Baritone.

Mike (mid 20s to late 30s) Male identifying. Bob and Phil’s Stage Manager. Has a tendency to be anxious, but will get things done. Never seen without his whistle and clipboard which he uses to attempt to keep order. Baritone.

Ensemble/Chorus – Male and Female identifying. To play a variety of supporting roles. Characters are early 20s to mid 30s. Major tap skills and be equally strong in theatre jazz. Sings very well. Ensemble roles will cover various principals.
