How about The Fantastics? It's got five, but one person just holds props for the most part. You may find a way around not using the mute. Not sure it would work, but it's a suggestion. Worth looking into.

Do you mean stuff that's still playing or just plays in general? Butterflies are Free. Just four principle players.

I can't think of many musicals 4 or under besides the ones already mentioned, but there are a bunch with 5:

Beehive

Forever Plaid

THE FANTASTICKS has eight people. Eliminating the Mute would violate copywright.

BABY has a cast of twelve - bare minimum.

I Am My Own Wife
The Belle of Amherst
The Last Flapper
Lillian
The Fourposter
The Subject Was Roses
Talley's Folly
The Gin Game

Look on the Samuel French, Dramatists' Play Service, Tams Witmark, Music Theatre International and Rodgers and Hammerstein websites. You'll find plenty of these.

Why not do Urinetown and eliminate ALL the secondary characters - then it would have only six people.

Since violating copywright doesn't seem to matter.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
