CARMEN GHIA
|
|
|

Carmen Ghia is Roger De Bris' "common-law assistant". They are both flamboyantly gay and they love to flounce around their Upper East Side town house. The character name sounds the same as the name of the automobile, the Karmann Ghia, marketed from 1955 to 1974 by Volkswagen.

LEO BLOOM

MAX BIALYSTOCK
|
|
|
|
is described as selfish and greedy - a man who is only interested in making money. Though this is later proven untrue, Max's fiery and sarcastic nature can be very intimidating. He is willing to do anything to make money (including "shtupping every little old lady in New York") and is often angry, short-tempered and unwilling to cooperate nicely. His name is taken from the Polish city of Białystok. In the Broadway musical, it was revealed that he grew up in The Bronx.
