Has strong comedic timing. Robert (Male, 30–50) Bernard's old school chum from Wisconsin. Robert has lived a simple somewhat sheltered life in Wisconsin.

She’s kind of cynical, a bit tough around the edges, and now the target of Buddy’s complete adoration. Has an amazing singing voice with a strong belt up to a D flat. Has strong movement skills and is able to rollerblade. Tap dancing a plus. Emily, (Female 40s-50s, Vocal Range: Alto F3-D5) Emily Hobbs is Walter ’s devoted wife who would prefer her husband to spend a little more time at home. She is a problem solver and an excellent mother who is doing everything she can to provide a positive family dynamic. Excellent singer who effortlessly conveys a sense of maturity and warmth. Has a strong belt up to a C. Walter (Male, 40s-50s, Vocal range: High Baritone A2-G4) Buddy’s real father, is so focused on keeping his job that he is not making time for his family.
