A British cabaret singer at the Kit Kat Club. Quirky and flighty. Struggles with knowing the darkness of the reality of her life and has woeful luck in her relationships with men. Must act and dance well; comfortable with moments of intimacy and bawdy/suggestive staging/ choreography.
Clifford Bradshaw- (Male, plays 25-40, C#3-E4, American accent)

Fräulein Schneider- (Female, plays 40-60, Eb3-B4, German accent)
A landlady who rents rooms to Cliff, Sally, and several other characters in her large flat. She is alone and is resigned to her place in life, but secretly longs for companionship.

Must act and sing well; comfortable with light moments of intimacy.
Fräulein Kost- (Female, plays 20-50, F#3-Eb5, German accent)

Herr Schults- (Male, plays 40-60, C3-G4, German accent)
A Jewish fruit shop owner who falls in love with Fraulein Schneider; sweet, lovable, and adoring; heartbreakingly naïve about the political turmoil in Germany. Must act and sing well; comfortable with stage movement, light dance (waltz), and light moments of intimacy.
Ensemble
These performers are often in salacious situations and costumes. They are an eclectic mix of types and aren’t necessarily a matching unit. It is very important they act, sing, dance / move well and with confidence. They may be part of various scenes in and out of the Club; should be comfortable interacting with the audience and comfortable with bawdy/suggestive staging/choreography.
