Clifton A. Feddington – Announcer & general manager. Always has problems, but is genuine & vulnerable. Singing required. Range C to middle C
Neal Tilden – The show’s not too talented comic. Wants to do it all, sing, dance & act. Would like to be more important than he is. Sings & dances. Range C to C#
