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!

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

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
