The narrator and glue of the show, guiding the audience through the cabaret with song, swing, era slang, and banter with the Andrews Sisters and ensemble. Cool, crooning, and effortlessly smooth, he’s the show’s emcee and voice of the era. Think relaxed charm, sharp tux, and a deep voice that melts hearts and bridges scenes. He offers context, warmth, and the occasional solo. A true host with heart.

Ensemble Characters:
No Singing. Swing Dancing required. Strong acting and improv skills required.

Sailor 1
The brawny charmer of the bunch, Sailor 1 is a high, energy goofball with a heart of gold and an appetite for dancing and dames. He’s been all over the Pacific but still blushes when complimented. Think Gene Kelly in uniform, smooth on the floor, goofy when nervous, and always first in line for a jitterbug.

Sailor 2
The quieter, moodier counterpart to Sailor 1. Sailor 2 is a dreamer and a bit of a romantic, his swing style is confident and soulful. He plays it cool but can melt hearts with a glance. He’s the one who might tell war stories in low tones and secretly write poetry on his shore leave.

Nurse
Poised, polished, and quick with both a thermometer and a quip, the 1940s Nurse is the heart of the homefront. She's nurturing yet no-nonsense, exuding a calm confidence born from long nights in field hospitals and USO infirmaries. Dressed in crisp white with red lipstick that never smudges, she brings a maternal warmth to the chaos, with a side of dry wit and flirtation when it suits her. Equal parts Florence Nightingale and Ginger Rogers, she’s known to swing dance like a dream, and patch up scraped knees and bruised egos without breaking a sweat.

Sweetheart 1
Bubbly, wide, eyed, and endlessly optimistic, she’s the quintessential small, town sweetheart. She brings joy to every room, clings to her faith in true love, and has likely never been kissed, unless it was under the bleachers. She wears a ribbon in her hair and a heart on her sleeve.

Waiting Girlfriend
Soft, spoken and a touch melancholic, she holds onto a photograph and the promise of a dance with her soldier when he returns. She’s not all tears, she’s graceful, full of quiet strength, and stuns with her bittersweet swing solos. Her story is one of love, patience, and aching hope.

RAF Pilot

Gallant, dashing, and slightly bewildered by American slang, the RAF Pilot is all charm and elegance. His clipped British accent adds flair to any conversation, and his swing style is just a tad formal. He’s equal parts gentleman and rogue, and just might sweep someone off their feet, literally.

Black market dealer
Sharp, smooth, talking, and always in motion. He knows where to find nylons, chocolate, or a dance partner, often all at once. He’s got a trench coat full of surprises and a wink that says, “Don’t ask too many questions.” Think streetwise Sinatra.

Riveting Rosie
Tough, proud, and loud, Rosie lives to prove she’s got more grit than any GI. Grease on her cheeks, a bandana on her head, and sass in her soul. Her swing is bold, athletic, and unapologetic. She’s not here to be pretty, she’s here to blow you away.

Newsperson
Quick, witted and faster with a pencil than a pistol, the Newsperson sees everything. Always taking notes, snapping photos, and looking for the next big scoop. Their job is to document, but they can’t help but get caught up in the magic of the moment.
