CHARACTER INFORMATION
RENO SWEENEY (F, PRINCIPAL) Reno is a sexy and charismatic nightclub singer, formerly an evangelist. Strong and confident, she is ever the performer, but also has a soft side. She travels
with her Angels, her backup singers and dancers. Loyal friend to Billy, and ends up falling in love with Sir Evelyn. Requires great comedic timing, and a strong singer and dancer.

BILLY CROCKER (M, PRINCIPAL) Billy is Elisha Whitney’s kind but inefficient General Manager, who is helplessly in love with Hope. He boards the ship without a ticket and adopts a number of disguises to avoid being caught. This actor must be charismatic, have good comedic timing and considerable charm.

MOONFACE MARTIN (M, PRINCIPAL) Moonface is “Public Enemy #13.” This guy is a loveable, goofy gangster, with a heart of gold. Loyal to the end, he is willing to go the extra mile for a friend. Yearns to be Public Enemy #1 but always seems to fall short. Traveling in disguise as a priest. Role requires great comedic timing, and the ability to really sell a song.

HOPE HARCOURT (F, PRINCIPAL) Hope is a NY debutante and heiress .She has a sweet personality with a strong sense of morals and duty. She is willing to sacrifice love and marry to satisfy her mother’s wishes. The ultimate leading lady, this character is sparkling, innocent, and ladylike.

BONNIE LETOUR (F, PRINCIPAL) Bonnie is best described as a stereotypical gangster’s “doll.” A traffic stopping dame, and a wanna-be show girl. Loveably clueless with a ‘joysey’ accent. Confident and modern, and not afraid to use her looks to get what she wants. Strong dancing and singing role, with good comedic timing, and strong character work.

​SIR EVELYN OAKLEIGH (M, PRINCIPAL) Hope’s aristocratic English fiancé. He is earnest, energetic, good natured, gullible and absolutely fascinated by American slang. This actor must be a strong comedic actor with a believable upper crust English accent.
MRS. EVANGELINE HARCOURT (F, SUPPORTING) Hope’s widowed, overbearing mother who is mainly concerned with money and social status. More about keeping up appearances than being concerned with emotions and happiness. Born with a silver spoon and very set in her ways. A comedic, character role, that spans between refined lady and panic stricken comedienne to breathless receiver of renewed hope.

MR. ELISHA J. WHITNEY (M, SUPPORTING) A successful Ivy League Wall Street banker and Billy’s boss. He is extremely near sighted and a gloriously functional drunk. He thinks he is always right, and has a very large, gruff personality. Good comedic timing and physically comedic role.

CHARITY, PURITY, CHASTITY, VIRTUE (F, SUPPORTING) Reno’s Angels, her back up singers and dancers. Strong and confidence, the opposite of their names. The stereotypical chorines, must be strong dancers (Jazz and tap), and strong singers.

THE CAPTAIN (M/F, FEATURED) The no nonsense captain of the S.S. American. Primarily concerned with their passengers, and ensuring they have an enjoyable trip. Gets caught up in the hype of the public enemies on board.

THE PURSER (M/F, FEATURED) The ship’s Purser, the captain’s right hand.

BISHOP HENRY T. DOBSON (M, CAMEO) A missionary who attempted to board the S.S. American with his converts, only to be confused for a gangster.

CHING & LING or JOHN & LUKE, (M/F, CAMEO) The Bishop’s gambling converts.

ENSEMBLE of Reporters, Passengers, and Sailors. Lots of opportunity for solo lines available.
