Florence: 50s-60s, the worst singer in the world, a wealthy socialite with unequated passion for music and opera, a larger than life eccentric who believes her voice is a gift to the world; is not aware of how her voice really sounds and protects herself from her detractors. The actress who plays Florence will sing (badly) but should have a fine operatic voice
Cosme McMoon: 30s. Florence's new accompanist; an attractive cynic with a wry sense of humor whose initial compromise to work with Florence only for the money is eventually overcome by respect for her passion and enthusiasm. Piano skills helpful but not necessary

Dorothy: 50s-60s; Florence's friend, flighty and loyal
Maria: 30s-50s, Florence's Mexican maid, speaks no English, tires of Florence easily
Mrs. George: 30s-50s; Ardent music purist, condemns Florence's work
