Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Play or Musical that features Twins

Message

   Hello!

I am a high school drama teacher and I have two very strong female twins in my drama class. They are strong actors and are tall, thin and very pretty but don't have very strong singing voices. Can anyone suggest a play or musical that we could do that would feature them (and perhaps their twin-ness) but doesn't require much singing/could be talk-sung?

We've looked at Arsenic and Old Lace and Comedy of Errors (cross dressing is not ideal, but is certainly possible).

Thank you!

	Twelfth Night is male/female twins but could work... Are you looking for a full length? Inside AL is about a guy with Cerebral Palsy and then the 'inside' of him is what's in his mind (showing that although his body won't work how he wants it his body will). I've Also seen it done as 'Alice' instead of Al. Never seen it with twins but I think that would be so cool!
