Marty, Philip and Colleen have made great suggestions. I have heard from many groups who have gone both routes. There ofcourse is always the option to double cast the entire show, but that then doubles your job!

We did this two years ago. It took some convincing - especially since we had done MILLIE the year before. We made the troll/hag choreography really cool. The monks did not have much. We also had 8-10 couples dancing at the Christmas party. Basically, we had to convince them how great the show/story was as a whole and that the chorus time commitment was light. We had done huge productions, but this change was well worth it. Have a great show. Philip Glenn Burleson HS Choir, Burleson, TX

You can separate the double casting in the "dream sequences" adding some solo work for up to 15 instead of the 8 or 9 that the show is written for. You can also add an ice skating party.
