Does anyone have any descriptive descriptions of the main-ish characters in H2$..and who would you consider (please list) "good" characters to be..like aside from Rosemary, Finch and Hedy. Thanks!
As much info as possible would be appreciated for this! Thank you so much!! :)
And also how is Bratt in the show compared to Smitty's part? Who sings more/who sings what?
Sorry bout the questions, but answers would be appreciated !:)
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

While I don't see why you'd need to compare Bratt to Smitty, I'll give it a try.
Bratt has a solo in one song (The begining of Secratery), is in Brotherhood of Man, and a number of lines, Smitty sings in several songs (off the top of my head: Coffee Break, Paris Original, Cinderella Darling). Smitty isn't in much of the second act (from after Cinderella Darling to the last sceen really), while Bratt is in the entire show. Smitty seems like a more fun charcter to play, at least in my opinion.
Frump, Miss Jones, and Biggley are all rather large parts.

I was just cast as Mrs Jones..what can you tell me about that? And does she sing the girl part in Brotherhood of Man and if so, in all versions does she HAVE TO scat? In the revival, its' scatting, which I SO cannot do.
Thanks. A response would be greatly appreciated :)

The MTI version does NOT have scatting, it is like the OBCR.
Miss Jones is a GREAT character. I've played Finch and directed this show in the past, if you have any questions feel free to PM me.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
