I run a school drama club, and something we've been considering is the Broadway Jr. Collection. There are quite a few that the kids would be very excited for, and there's a few that would really draw people that the usual public domain and smaller shows... don't.
One issue: a lot of the Broadway Jr. versions I see change solos/duets to ensemble or group chorus songs. While I have some great singers who want to sing and I could get an ensemble, I wouldn't say I have enough ensemble who are willing to sing (or frankly, can sing well). If the songs were solos/duets like they are in the full versions, I'd have more than enough singers. It's just the change to more group numbers that makes it difficult.
I am going to hopefully try and contact a representative, but I was hoping someone may have had a similar situation. Does anyone have any experience working with MTI and requesting to change the group numbers back to solos and duets? Is it something they open to discussing with you or are they pretty strict on keeping the chorus numbers?
