Anything Goes - Just need a quick answer

So, I'm doing the program for a production of Anything Goes as a favor and the director sent me a cast list that seems to be out of order.

I don't know enough about the show to put people in order, so if someone could put these in order of importance/role size/the order they should be in the program, that would be great. I realize this should go into the Anything Goes forum, but it could be days in there without an answer.

Elisha Whitney
Fred the bartender
Billy Crocker
Reno Sweeney
Hope Harcourt
Evangeline Harcourt
Lord Evelyn Oakleigh
Minister Henry T Dobson
Luke & John the Chinese converts
Showgirl Angels:
Virtue
Charity
Chastity
Purity
Moonface Martin
Erma
Ship’s Captain
Purser
Sailor quintet:
Newspaper reporter
FBI Agent

I highly suggest against changing the order of the program unless the director asks you to.

funny thing is, when I did the show as Evelyn, during bows, I was billed before Moonface.

Duh. I obviously talked to her, she said it was up to me whether I wanted to do it in order of appearance or importance. Our relationship is really casual, so it wouldn't have been unusual for her to send me a mixed up cast list in a random order.

if you don't mind me putting my opinion out there, I think you would be better off doing in order of appearance, Anything goes really is an ensemble show, it is the chorus songs that really make the show great, and as you can see, there are so many different assorted one line+ parts.

True, it has a great ensemble, but the leads are very distinct, and Reno outshines EVERYONE.
