This was a fun show to produce, perfect for a small community theatre. We were able to intermix all ages and cast all who auditioned. We had just as much fun creating pre-show audience participation as we did the show. We were able to be creative in many ways including puppets, shadow puppets and audience interaction. We originally were planning to do the show without instruments because we simply did not think we had the people to do it, but thank goodness we found both someone who played the piano as well as a prince who played guitar! I would not recommend doing this show without some musical talent.
