Has anyone directed Big, the Musical yet?

How many kids can be cast into the adult-version? What are some set ideas? Permanent? Moving? etc?

There are a couple "crowd scenes" with kids - party, amusement park, etc. You can use a dozen or more kids.

For a set we used platforms set at a couple different heights painted primary colors and a cyc and then brought in pieces for the scenes -- a bunkbed, an ironning board, a table, etc.

Light specific areas to limit space and help set the acting area.
