Hi Cindy. My name is Geoff Wright from australia. Last year my school performed Beauty and the Beast Jr. It was a great success. We have a school of about 400 students and fit them all into the show. We ended up splitting the school in half and performing basicly 2 versions of the show. As we are planning to perform another musical next year i was wanting to get some advice. We are wanting to perform another disney musical but don't really want to have to split the school in half again. Would you be able to advise me what show would be best for a large number of students. I was thinking of the little mermaid or aladdin. What would your advice be. Thanks Geoff

HI Geoff! Congrats on your Beauty and the Beast JR with casts of thousands! I love the inclusion, and quite honestly did many of the original pilots with casts of 160. If you are set on a Disney show, one of the most successful ones to expand is JUngle Book Kids. It only lasts 40 minutes but is easily cast with large groups that are not gender specific. If you need a longer show, look at Aladdin. Townspeople, shop owners, harem girls, guards and narrators etc. are featured in all of the production numbers. You might also take a look at Music Man JR and Guys and Dolls from our legacy series. Classic shows with wonderful parts to share with a large cast. Lets get you perusals to see what you think!
