It's a tiny role with no solo singing, some lines and a little bit of dancing. He's the artist in love with Vandergleder's niece.

Too bad - in the original play "The Matchmaker" it's a fairly nice role.

He's pretty much your typical juvenille lead boy in "Hello, Dolly!"

He's in love with Ermengraude, Vandergelder's niece, and enlists Dolly to help them get together. Typically, he and Ermengraude are cast as dancers as their big standout section is usually in Harmonia Gardens when they're trying to avoid being seen by Vandergelder during a polka.
