Large Casts vs. Small?

What do you prefer in a musical, a large ensemble cast of 20+, or a small chamber piece of 10 or less?

#2

Large Casts vs. Small?

Either, as long as the cast size serves the material. 

#3

Large Casts vs. Small?

Absolutely. Phantom is a show that's designed for a chorus, and John and Jen is not.

#4

Large Casts vs. Small?

Size doesn't matter in this case....as in most life concerns.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
#5

Large Casts vs. Small?

Perhaps I should rephrase the question: Do you generally find yourself enjoying large ensemble shows or small chamber pieces more?

#7

Large Casts vs. Small?

It always depends on the show. Fun Home with 30 people would work about as well as Wicked with nine people (not well at all).

#8

Large Casts vs. Small?

I don't have a preference....it makes no difference.  A well told, dynamic story that is well directed is what makes a show work or not.  It has nothing to do with the size.  I have some large cast shows I love, and some small.
