PUTTING IT TOGETHER, although it's more of a revue than a musical

I think Spelling Bee is a small cast too.

Assassins - well there are a small number of leads. There are some ensemble members, but not all need to be used.

Bdwybelle, I am SO impressed that you know 'Birds Of Paradise'. I was gonna mention it earlier but I figured nobody would know what I was talking about!

Unfortunately I've never seen the show. I wasn't even born when they did it, but I'm a Donna Murphy fan, so when I found out that she was in it, I immediately got the cd. I love it!!! It should be revived.

Well, unfortunately the book is pretty bad but it is pretty good music. I use 'Coming True' as an audition song from time to time.

Oh I like that song! I also like 'Birds of Paradise', big surprise lol. And 'Penguins Must Sing' sounds ridiculous but very funny.

Company is a cast of at least 14. Bobby, the five couples, the three girlfriends and if you want, pit singers who can sometimes double as extra characters "described" in the show.
There was a revival of Little Me with Victor Garber where it was done with a cast as small as 7 or 8 people.

"Sing the words, Patti!!!!" Stephen Sondheim to Patti LuPone.

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.
