I've been in the cast of "Sweeny..." (Pirelli/Fogg) and "Beauty..." (Cogsworth) and "Annie..." (Daddy Warbucks); never seen the stage version of HSM, Pan, or Wonka.

I'd do "Sweeny..." again in a heartbeat!

"Chess"?  YES!  I'd love to!

Yes, I, too, found it curious that 5 of 6 shows listed in the poll were "family" or "G-rated" shows, and only 1 was "Adult".  (Well... 2 if you include the addition of "Chess".)

I'm guessing you're 'shopping around' for a show for your CT to do?  We've found that "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Anne of Green Gables" have been guaranteed successes for our community.

If you have a good adult base that tends to come for adult shows then they might make sense. However, in these times the prevailing wisdom is that people are more likely to spend money to bring their kids to a show, than the would to hire a babysitter and come to an adult show.

We tried to get away from doing so many child friendly shows and have been paying for it since.

We have a fantastic set designer who would do amazing things for Sweeney Todd.  I'd do that show in a heart beat (in it, direct it, props, anything)
 
We almost scheduled Annie for this summer's musical but couldn't get the rights, so we'll be doing Cinderella instead.  We really needed a family show this summer to keep up with the economy pitfalls.

I HATE Annie.   It is so sweet you need an insulin shot after seeing it.    BUT, it packs in the audiance.    Sometime $'s outweight artistic value.   If $'s were not an issue, Sweeney Todd is my preference.

I would do Peter Pan. EVERYONE know peter pan. It is a show ALL ages. It is one of those shows you go to just because you know it and loved it as a child.
