In the fall of 2011 we did Dark Deeds at Swan's Place (Or Never Trust a Tattooed Sailor) by Tim Kelly, licensed through Samuel French, now Concord Theatricals:

This is a great over-the-top melodrama with really fun roles for 14 characters. We had about 33 actors in the play because we did all of the suggested song numbers and added extra townspeople and other suggested characters.
I am attaching a couple of pictures of song numbers:

I'm re-awakening this old thread to see what other suggestions people have for non-musical plays that still have opportunities for the actors to sing or play. Next year should be my non-musical year, but I still have a lot of talented singers that I could feature. No Shakespeare, please. We have a professional company in town that performs year-round. Thanks!

Can you suggest any plays that are not musicals but that have a fair amount of music in them? I know I could add music to a Shakespeare play, for example, but I'd love to find something else that has some music meaningfully integrated into the script ... but that's not a musical.
Thank you for any ideas!!
