 Topic: Suggestions for a type of show...Posted: 7/28/05 at 10:41am |

A dinner theater that I work at has done, in the past years, these shows: Pirates of penzance, 42nd Street, South Pacific, On the Town, Me and My Girl, Hello Dolly, Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate, Annie Get Your Gun, and Music Man. what other shows are in this category that they might do? They must be family-friendly and must require a big cast. Any thoughts?

For a mid sized cast look at "She Loves Me" (MTI), for big casts look at "Oklahoma!" (R&H), or "Guy's and Dolls"

Footloose, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Chicago (though not as family friendly) have all been done well by my local Community Theatre. |

If we could read minds, we wouldn't need headsets.

It looks like your group leans towards dance heavy shows -
check out "Oh, Kay!" for goofy nonsense with glorious Gershwin music - "Carnival!" for spectacle and emotional depth - "Mame" for sheer extravagance - "Crazy for You" for more glorious Gershwin music and dizzy, wacky comedy. They all have large casts and wonderful opportunities for dancers, singers and actors - and terrific options for costuming. |

I loved "Ragtime," too
Have you ever worked on a production? I never have been involved in one - but really loved the Broadway production. |

Fiddler on the Roof and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat were big hits with big casts on our little stage.

In Dinner Theaters, I have enjoyed runs of King and I, and Evita.
