Any ideas/mic plots for Lion King Kids?  With five Rafikis, I can't find a good way to have less than 10 mics, which is killing my tiny budget.  Thanks!

Hi Amy! 10 mics could kill a budget for sure! Don't rule out using a hand held and passing it off.  I have seen it done choreographically and it did not seem contrived.  Take a second look at your blocking placement and see if you can make good use of PCC mics on the floor.  It all comes down to sizes of stage, projection of actors.  Bounderies are freeing!
