view character list and staging ideas
There are 12 speaking parts and at least 20 non-speaking parts. The speaking parts can easily be increased if the narrator’s part is split between lots of children, the census-takers’ lines are split between more than four census-takers; and you have two innkeepers instead of one, dividing the lines equally between them. The cast size can be reduced to a minimum of 18 parts, is song 4 is skipped, this reduced cast size would only be suitable if you are singing this year.
