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!

"Fiddler" can have quite a few children as part of the family units in Anatevka.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

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

Every living soul has got a voice - you've got to give it room and let it sing.

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

AH yes, The King & I...the production i was in had 80 Royal Children...I think they played their march about 7 or 8 times.

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK (awful show, but a show with kids nonetheless)
