This show brings to our stage the nostalgic sound of World War II radio, when friends gathered around the radio for news and entertainment. This show reprises fabulous, familiar tunes like "Aint She Sweet," "Strike Up the Band," and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B," and takes us on a musical stroll down memory lane.
|
| Pops Bailey - Over 60. Crusty stage doorman; interacts a lot with the others. Does not sing. |
Harry Schaefer |
| Lou Cohn - about 40. Stage manager, surrogate boss, a bit obnoxious, enjoys a job with plenty of authority and no responsibility; always trying to impress Ginger. Does not sing. Does all the sound effects. |
Marco Andrews and Charlie Wilson (filling in the last weekend) |
| Clifton A. Feddington - 30-40-ish. Band leader, announcer, general manager, head-of-everything at the station; charming, genuine, always has problems and keeps everyone on their toes. |
Drew Casey |
|
Neal Tilden - 20-30-ish. Disinherited rich kid who drives a cab; wants to do it all: sing, dance, comedy, act, lead the band, choreograph; he's the comedy relief; a bit of a whiner and sneaky, too. |
Matt Albritton |
|
Ann Collier - 25-40-ish. The big band vocalist for the show, nice looking, she's been in the Calvacade for several years. She's the anchor of the group and very likeable. |
Kay Thomas |
| Geneva Lee Brown - 25-30-ish. Sassy, brassy and loud, beautiful blues singer, really feels the music and loves singing. |
Genica Reed |
|
Biff Baker - 20-ish. A real musician, should play an instrument and sing. He's the one in uniform and is leaving the Cavalcade soon to go overseas in a fighter squadron. |
Tory Rasberry |
| Connie Miller - teenage singer. Cute, enthusiastic and always in love. Seriouly dating B. J. Hangs out with Ginger. |
Lisa Hein |
| Johnny Cantone - 30s-50s. The featured vocalist of the Cavalcade with a Sinatra sound and uses that to his advantage. Classy, smarmy, a bit of a tough guy but with a heart of gold. |
Robert Leighton |
| Ginger Brooks - 20-30-ish. Bubble-headed waitress turned singing star. A caricature, she almost parodies herself. The sexy pinup girl, flirty, always moving and working on her clothes or makeup. |
Bunnie Hibbard |
| B. J. Gibson - about 20. Preppy kid singer, squeaky clean. Classy singer and dancer and aggressive about his showbiz career. |
Brian Meadows |
| Wally Ferguson - 20-30ish. The poodle-eyed hopeful who works at the drugstore and makes deliveries to the radio station. Wants to be "discovered" and practices everyone's routines. |
