The Boy Wonder Cast of Characters

MONICA JONES In her twenties, a would be actress and singer. She’s been trying for years to get a part on the Broadway stage. She wears glasses and dresses plainly.
DELORIS (aka Susie Donahue) She was a teenage chorus girl when she was discovered in the Broadway adaptation of War and Peace. Now she’s known as the “Latin Sensation.”
GUY MARTIN In his twenties. He began his life in the theatre as an actor, director and playwright when he had just turned nineteen. He co-wrote with his father, Terence Martin, an adaptation of War and Peace into a dramatic musical. All the plays he has written since then have been flops. Down to his last dollar, the only theatre he can get for his Play, A Woeful Love, is a burlesque theatre in Queens.
MITZI A chorus girl who has been in one too many choruses. She’s Guy’s choreographer for his play and is not so secretly in love with him.
VICTOR SANDS Fifties or sixties. Once a Broadway matinee idol before the turn of the century.
BILLY RADCLIFF The stage manager, piano accompanist. GUY’s loyal friend, he’s been with him since the days of War and Peace.
WENDELL BRADSHAW. Son of the theatre owner that the play is set to open in. He’s a wiseacre who makes up to all the girls in the show, but he’s only barely in his teens.
CHORUS GIRLS 1&2
SMALL CHILD. Non-speaking part
TERENCE MARTIN Guy's father. A classical actor turned playwright after World War I. War and Peace was actually GUY’s attempt at a play, probably in imitation of his father who specialized in adaptations. His father co-wrote it to save his son from writing a lousy script.
EDDIE BRADSHAW. Wendell’s father and owner of the burlesque theatre for Guy’s play. He dresses like the small-time gangster that he is.
EDDIE’S BODYGUARD (optional) Non-speaking part.
SUMMER STORM The theatre’s resident burlesque queen.
CHORUS
BURLESQUE DANCERS As needed.
