I Do! I Do! The Apple Tree -- really only 3 roles and a few chorus parts that could be limited in size, since they do very little Baby I Love My Wife -- would love to see if this is dated...I loved it way back when and the score is great Something's Afoot -- may be too large, requiring a cast of 10 as I recall Romance! Romance -- have to admit that I did not like this one, but the critics did They're Playing Our Song

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
Apple Tree can be done with as few as eight actors - the three leads, one secondary character man (plays King Arik and the Producer) and an ensemble of 2 m, 2 w.
TINTYPES. (2 men, 3 women: Original Tony-nominated production included Jerry Zacks, Lynne Thigpin, Trey Wilson and Carolyn Mignini, and Mary Catherine Wright.) 2 men, 3 women. Voices need MUCH flexibility due to DIFFICULT vocal arrangements, in many styles from about 1889 to 1918. When I did the show I pulled the band down to two pianos. Wonderful staging opportunities.
