Cast info:

• Gabey (Supporting): Male, 20-39
  a sailor, earnest and enthusiastic – almost to a fault (as tends to be somewhat rash). After a single glance at the picture of Ivy Smith, he falls head over heels in love. Must be a superb dancer; baritone, Bb-high A.
• Chip (Supporting): Male, 20-39
  a sailor, energetic and determined to see every sight New York has to offer under a 24 hour time constraint – the ultimate tourist, somewhat naïve, the object of Hildy’s enthusiastic affection. Must be a superb dancer; baritone: Bb-high G.
• Ozzie (Supporting): Male, 20-39

• Ivy Smith (Supporting): Female, 20-39
  small town girl trying to make her way in New York as an aspiring actress/lounge dancer. AKA ‘Miss Turnstiles of the Month’ Ivy is the object of Gabey’s affection. Spirited but with a certain class and elegance. Must be a superb dancer, ballet and jazz; mezzo-soprano, low C-high G.

Other Roles
