Show SuggestionsHi there! Our local amateur theatre group is currently deciding on its next show ... and we need suggestions!!! Please help!We're a tiny amateur theatre company in country Australia with a weird and wonderful combination of actors 
We have a brilliant childrens chorus (about 20) Two very good teenage females, 1 soprano, 1 alto About 10 other teenage females and 3 teenage males 2 adult females who are also very good, 1 alto 1 mezzo 2 adult males, 1 tenor 1 baritone (one in 20's, other 40's) and several other adults of all ages, most baritones, altos and mezzos. Any suggestions??? Recently we have done Annie, Cinderella and Oklahoma. |

Sounds like Bye Bye Birdie could work quite well. | ||

Bye bye birdie sounds interesting - but im not familiar with it. I looked it up - the main issue we have is matching romantic leads. Our best females are teenagers (17-19) while our best males are adults. Would this show work with pairing them together or does it get too ... er ... involved

Actually, Birdie might be PERFECT then. The second lead female (Kim) is a teenager, and her boyfriend (Hugo) doesn't sing much. The lead female (Rosie) and lead male (Albert) should be older, but if you have a teen female that could play twenties, it would work. Birdie himself should be older than a teen, because he's "dangerous" like Elvis Presley was considered dangerous. There's a teen chorus, a town chorus and several good character roles. |

I agree with Robinflamingo. Bye Bye Birdie would be PERFECT for this group. I was in it at my high school, and it's a fun show for everybody involved. | ||

Footloose, anyone? Anyone?
I think Sweeney would be a nice choice too. It depends on the audience you're aiming at. |
