The ingenue to who becomes a soubrette.
The cad with a heart of gold. >>
The skirt who is doing him dirt.
The scene where the villain is mean
Everything ends in mince meat
The king of an underworld ring.
The fragile old lady who belts out a life-affirming ditty.
The Latina spitfire.
The tempestuous foreign-accented diva.
The fireplug ensemble dancer who does a gymnastic solo break.
The baritone lady growler second lead.
Every variation of foreigners cliché: the authoritarian German, the lustful
Frenchman, the snotty English, the drunk Irish, etc.

====================

The wisecracking belter who doesn't have much to do with the plot, and
doesn't interact much with the other characters, but gets lots to
sing, including a big mock-gospel number in act 2.
The fast-talking playboy hero (who settles down with the strong-willed
heroine who "tames" him). The sad-faced little middle-aged guy who
gets pushed around by everybody and talked into wacky schemes by said
hero. Think William Gaxton and Victor Moore.
The heroine's middle-aged chaperone, who has a comic romance with the
hero's middle-aged friend.
The heroine's two (usually two) wisecracking friends, both slightly
more worldly-wise than she is.
