Ruby - (Character age: 18 - 20s) A naive young girl from the Midwest who comes to New York to become a Broadway star. As with her namesake, Ruby Keeler, she is a superb tap dancer. Soprano.

Dick - (Character age: 18 - 25) Ruby's boyfriend also from the Midwest and a sailor. Also a would-be songwriter and librettist he, like Ruby, is looking to get his first big-break. A tenor and tapper.

Joan - (Character age: 20 - 25) The lead chorine. Sassy and brassy, she is outspoken but with a heart of gold, she becomes Ruby's best friend. Belter soprano. Tapper.

Lucky - (Character age: 20 - 25) Also a sailor and Dick's best friend. Joan's on-and-off (but mostly on) boyfriend. A New York City street tough who, like Joan, is mouthy but genuine. Baritone. A good tapper.

Mona Kent - (Character age: 40s) A big Broadway star and the show-within-a-show's leading lady. Affected British stage accent. A man-killer. Beautiful and snobbish. Soprano. Tap dancer.

Hennessey - (Character Age: 40s) The epitome of the nervous, pessimistic and hard-driving stage director. With twelve flops in a row he's looking to make a comeback. Baritone. Tap dancer. Understudy The Captain

The Captain - (Character Age: Late 40s) Commanding the USS New York, he's Dick and Lucky's superior. From the Deep South, he once had a fling with Mona Kent when they were both younger. Lyric baritone. Like everyone else in the cast he taps.

The Chorines - (Character Age: 20s to 30s) Chorus girls who are the heat of any show. Accomplished in a variety of musical comedy dance styles. Sopranos and altos. Pert and pretty. Understudy the Principles
