Captain Billy has a cast of eight blond, un-Spanish-looking members who wash decks, sell tickets, move props as well as sing, dance, feed lines to Captain Billy on & off stage. Carmen opens with all hands singing Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here. Carmen is Billy's 18-year-old daughter Betty, who does a song and trucks to the jazzed-up Habanera while her mother pounds a little red piano.
