Hello! I have been a lurker for some time and have seen a lot of good advice. I hope to get some guidance now for our theater.

We are establishing a black box that will seat around 120 people and are developing ideas for our upcoming season.

Can you please suggest musicals --either revues or full shows that would be good to produce in a black box.

A few parameters:

1. It should be a well-known show that will draw a good audience
2. It should be easy to produce in a black box setting
3. Smallish cast, prefer something not too dance heavy.

If there are suggestions for more adult type shows that is good as well. For example, we are considering something like Chicago, not You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Looking forward to your ideas!!

Thank you, Magnolia
