Musicals with very small cast

Posted: 10/25/09 at 3:38pm

ive been trying to gather a list of musicals that have a small cast (2-5 actors) that could be done in a very small space or black box
The only ones that comes to my mind are Last 5 Years & I Love you Because...
Any other suggestions?

Some shows you can eliminate the ensemble and turn it concert styling such as Jekyll & HYDE did. You may want more than 3 people for that, but it can be done and it leaves in the most memorable songs!

You'd've thought that The Last Five Years would have already come to the OP's mind... oh, wait. Never mind. :P

Actually, when you include the narrator/pianist, Musical of Musicals has a cast of five.

AwesomeDanny-Technically, the narrator/pianist can double as the villain. That is how the original production did it, and if you have an actor who can play piano, then go for it.
Also, Romance/Romance is a 4 person cast.
