He is joined by Pagie Wilson as an innocent, young ballet dancer and Sarah Weldon as her overbearing, brassy mother, along with Charlotte LaNasa as a spoiled millionairess and Hyatt Pyle as an eccentric patron of the arts.
Elise Anderson will appear as the mistress of the millionaire (played by Peter Smith), who has been carrying on a with her lover’s secretary, played by Cody Snead. Karen Pelfrey Smith is the dowager aunt of the twins, with Megan Quick as her faded companion and Jack Russell as a crumbling butler, aided by Audrey Tchoukova and Alex Linton as bumbling footmen.
