There are a handful of "guy" roles in SMILE, although it's been a thousand years since I've seen it. Jeff McCarthy has the male lead as Big Bob Freelander, and he was great! It's a good, solid "leading man" part. He's either the manager or the "facilitator" of the pageant, I forget. The part was played by Bruce Dern in the (non-musical) movie of it.
The other great male character is the has-been choreographer Tommy French. A very funny part, because he's got "one foot in the grave" and he's trying to choreograph a pageant with the theme of "Health."
The other good part is the pageant's emcee Ted Farley, a cheesy Bert Parks kind of role. He sings the show's title song.
But there are LOTS of female roles (most of them are the contestants), and all the contestants dance.
