I think most of the male roles sing, but the role of Pap could get by sing-speaking his song "Guv'ment".

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Florida School of the Arts it's north florida. It's starting to get well known. We currently have a few people out on tours( One of them is Mr. Mistofeles in Cats tour). Also we have "Damien" from Mean Girls as an Alumni

It really all depends on what size cast they are using. In the original, most of the men played several roles, and all had to sing. The entire cast was 19 people. The show can be done with a larger cast, and there are several male roles who have no solo singing.

I disagree about Pap...I believe he needs to have a good singing voice, because Guv'Ment would be a terrible song if he couldn't sing...

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Tom Sawyer does need a decent singing voice for "We Are the Boys," though.

And if you don't cut, there is "Hands for the hog" song by Tom Saywer. Non (solo) singing roles would be Preacher, Doctor, Counselor Robinson, all ensemble type roles.
