Lois Warner (Mid to Late 20s; Alto with Mezzo-Soprano ability): An aspiring nightclub singer who lives life as if in a Betty Grable movie.

She’s always ready with a quip or smart remark. Harvey (50s to 60s; Baritone): The resident comedian/social director at Esther’s Paradise. He’s all about the punchline and avoids genuine emotion.
