  • 1.  Musical with only 4 women roles and no ensemble

    Posted 10-24-2019 13:38
    Hi!

    We need a musical for a competition we can turn into a medley, but we only have four strong women and no ensemble. Are there any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    The Marvelous Wonderettes is amazing! :) www.stagerights.com There are several versions, including one with just women. There's also one called the Bikinis as well - same website.

    Look at the Marvelous Wonderettes.  Act 1 is a 4 girl group performing for their prom in the 50's and Act 2 is the same girls at their 10 year reunion.  It also has a one act version that is just the prom.

    Into the Woods has four strong female roles (and a handful of 'less'strong' ones) and no ensemble.

    Depending on your needs/school culture, "Lizzie" is a great rock musical written for four women. https://www.lizziethemusical.com/licensing
