Please: Is this entrie production available to view? GREAT WORK! One of the great tragedies relating to this shows' popularity is the amount of productions you need to sit through just to find one director that truly understands how this show should be done. This production looked fabulous. I hope to see the entire thing.

i think theres enough people. we performed it with about 20 people. the dances are a bit scattered and look very simple. but other than that, its pretty good
Ok, so Texas State did this show in November, it was directed by Kaitlyn Hopkins, the original Meredith Parker in the off-broadway cast. And they did a cast of like 16 or 18, and it made the harmonies so rich and powerful.

Kaitlyn's a sweetheart.
Yes, the show can work well with larger casts and the composer originally wrote for more voices than the often-done 10. The downside is that you lose some comic possibilities with less doubling of roles. If you have a good cast of real singers, small casts still work wonderfully with this show.

do you think this show would be as great with a larger cast? like idk...50/60 people in a cast?

Though the Off-Broadway show was done with a cast of 10, and personally, I think the show works best with that number (if done well). However, the composer DID originally begin writing the score to be sung by a larger cast (about 24 if I recall correctly) and large casts CAN make this score sound amazing. I've done the show twice with a cast of 10, but would love to try with a large cast sometime.
