Delores (Lead)
Alto - Singer (late 50s/60s) Secretary of a production company, but dreams of being on the stage. Her performance dreams came later in life, but feels she's as talented as any Broadway star and just hasn't been given a chance. She would run over her mother with a car if it meant she'd be a star.
Rita (Lead)
Soprano -Singer/Strong Dancer (30s) Musical theatre girl, successful at everything she does, outgoing, proactive, ambitious, quick-witted, with a knack for "fixing" people.
