I need a musical that is popular(in order to draw in an audience), with a small cast, and it does not have too many male lead/supporting parts. I am willing to double up smaller parts. :) Thanks! -Thanks for the idea's...Ironically enough, I am helping out with a children's theatre camp this summer and we just did Seussical in June so I want to stay away from that show...lol...

The show however, requires VERY strong vocals,especially for girls... But it is a WONDERFUL show...the best show I've ever been in.
