Katie,
I would be glad to share our casting breakdown.
Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Did not double at all (nor did they sing with the offstage choir)
Mama Ogre could be doubled Dragon...but we did not double her
Papa Ogre doubled as Pig #1 and a guard
baby Shrek doubled as a mouse
Queen Lilian Doubled as Fairy Godmother (or in our production, Blue fairy)
King Herold doubled as a guard
Little Fiona doubled as a mouse (we had 4 fionas)
Many fairy tale characters doubled as guards
Papa Bear doubled as the captain of the guards
Mama Bear was a Dragon operator
Little Red Riding Hood doubled as Dragon's voice (was onstage as Dragon under the puppet)
Baby bear was a mouse (all our mice were 5-7 year olds)
young Fiona was a dulac dancer (all our dulac dancers were 7-12 year olds)
Teen fiona was ugly duckling and a blind mouse
Sugar Plum fairy was a blind mouse
Farquaad was a guard in the "story of my life" scene
Our guard costumes were designed to cover costumes and only the costumes that could hide under the guards robes were doubled from the fairy tale characters.
Our costumes are available for rental if desired. :) http://www.daretodreamtheatre.com/DreamDesign.html and photos can be seen in our photo album on here http://www.mtishowspace.com/photo-albums/486843/dare-to-dream-theatre-presents-shrek-the-musical
Hope this helps!
