Hey do any of you know of a relatively small (cast-size) musical that was fairly recently produced on or off-broadway? I can't think of much and am looking for a show to do.

Posted: 4/2/07 at 5:45pmCan't be a show that's still running! Can't do it then! Un less it's Les Mis, which has a big cast, so basically no.
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon

Posted: 4/2/07 at 5:47pmSongs For A New World, The Last 5 Years, The Fantasticks, tick, tick...BOOM. One I saw recently was The Dead and the cast was relatively small. Not quite so much as the others, but still small.

Y'know, this is the kind of thread that only underscores the necessity of having a FAQ section on this board. How many bleeding times do we need to see this kind of question over and over?
And to the original poster: there are a ton and a half of resources that can answer this far faster by a sinple Google search or a fast march through the catalogues of companies like Samuel French. Put those resources to use. That's why they're there.

Posted: 4/2/07 at 10:08pmNo. Its full title is actually James Joyce's The Dead, I think.

Little Women is a fairly small cast, and I think it's a great musical!

Posted: 4/3/07 at 7:12pmBAT BOY and REEFER MADNESS, both of which can be done with ten performers or even less (lots of role-doubling). Both are outrageous, funny and edgy, so it depends on your potential audience.
