Nathan Detroit – Lead – Male – A good-hearted (but broke) gambler, schemer, and craps game organizer who could never hit the bigtime. He loves Adelaide, but cannot quit his gambling ways.

Sky Masterson – Lead – Male – A high-stakes gambler whose luck never seems to run out, and a wild card who surprises himself when he falls in love with the unlikeliest of women. Suave, smart, handsome.

Sarah Brown – Lead – Female – The Sergeant of the local Mission, the “girl next door” with and adventurous side that’s waiting to escape; gently authoritative an initially purdish and uptight, she fully believes in her worthy cause and wishes to convert the gambling sinners to saints. Falls unexpectedly in love with Sky along the way. She is prudish and uptight, but eventually lets go.

Big Jule – Featured – Male – A big time craps player from Chicago who uses a gun and his own pair of rigged dice to bully his way into never losing. Tough looking. A bit of an oaf.
