What are some musicals with a large number of children or teenagers in? Here's a list of ones I can think of:
1. Oliver
2. Bye, Bye, Birdie
3. The King and I
4. The Sound of Music
5. Big
6. Seussical
7. Annie & Annie Warbucks
8. Good News
Any more? Brainstorming for shows to do with a performing arts camp. Thanks!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has a children's chorus.
"Fiddler" can have quite a few children as part of the family units in Anatevka.
The Music Man
I Remember Mama
Runaways
Carousel
Gypsy
Grease
The Tap Dance Kid
The Wizard of Oz, though not quite a legit MUSICAL.
Beauty and the Beast can have a children's ensemble, and so can The Music Man.
And A Christmas Story is a PLAY, but it can have lots of children.
I've been with a theatre company for 7 seasons in the Youth/Teen Ensemble in nearly EVERY SHOW
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had the children who hid in the sewers from the Baron and Baroness.
Good News is a COLLEGE musical.
Are 18-to-22-year-olds children?
Grinch, Poppins
You cant produce them but just adding to the list.
You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.
I did that when I was a drama counselor at my summer camp, and it was VERY cute and very easy to direct
