Change the Hermit to Female?

Hello! I'm directing a production of Young Frankenstein this summer and I have a ton of talented girls (a good amount of boys too) but I'm considering changing the Hermit to a girl -- would this be weird? The option would be that she would be a SHE not a HE. This would make Frau Blucher's line at the end be a girl-on-girl line. Which I think could be funny. Thoughts???

Playback/recorded

Anyone who's done this musical before, what did you do with the orchestra for the songs that need to sync up with video ("Lina's Film Would You", "Kathy's "Would You"" and ""Would You" Finale (Film)")? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ages for Jr shows

Hello, We are a new community theater group just getting off the ground and we are trying to weigh our options. Our initial business plan was to have people ages 16 and up through adults(mainly alumni from our regular school organization) performing in our productions. We have since decided to add a camp of sorts and would possibly do 2 shows, each using each group of performers( kids up to 16 and then those over 16 with no age limit). Using this decision we thought we'd do 2 different JR shows this year, so we can get acclimated to organizing schedules and teaching, etc. and then do a JR show for the camp students and then a full musical for the 16+ group. IS this something we can do for this year? I noticed that Beauty and the Beast Jr states in the contract Youth cast only...what ages is that? Thank you!

Musical recommendation - elementary

Good morning, everyone.After a successful first-time school production of Disney's The Jungle Book KIDS, I am considering directing another musical next year. I want to share my joy of music and the theater to the children. Since I am volunteering my time and our school doesn't have a budget for the program, I want to keep it simple without sacrificing quality. This year, I directed the musical by myself with some teachers designing the set, as well as parents making their child's own costumes. I am leaning towards choosing Annie KIDS but am also thinking about Sleeping Beauty KIDS. My concern with both of these choices is that I am afraid I might scare off some boys because they might perceive them as "too girly." Since, prior to this year, the school has not had a play or musical, I want to build up interest and encourage the broadest base of participation possible. (The license does not appear to be available in Europe for other musicals I considered: Aladdin KIDS, 101 Dalmatians KIDS or Willy Wonka KIDS.) There are also some JR selections that are interesting to me--for example, Alice in Wonderland, Honk!, and the upcoming Peter Pan--but I am concerned that since they are twice as long that they might be too much for me to take on. I appreciate anyone's thoughts or suggestions.

Mic plots

Hello MTI I have been asked to provide sound for a high school production of Urinetown. I want to provide professional sound support for the production and I would like to spend time on the location and not a mic plot. So... Do you provide mic plots for your musical rentals. The Urinetown musical has been from your rental house.

Painting Flats

We are doing Annie Kids and have three 6' wide x 8'high flats and one being made. One side will Warbucks Mansion and the other NYC. I an a little concerned since I have never done this and there will be teachers (not art) and parents assisting. The NYC flats will also be used to hide the mansion furniture to avoid big scene changes. Any advise on how to help this go smoothly?
