Hi everyone: We were going to do the world premiere of a new musical this fall, but it fell through because we didn't get the men required (it's unfortunately a very male-heavy show). I'm the director; and the music director, producer and I are trying to come up with another show based on available casting, what would be fun to do, and get a nice audience draw. The various suggestions are "Mashuggah-Nuns!", "Baby", and "Working". Any thoughts on these shows? Thanks!

Oh, and I should point out we've already done "Nunsense" in the past. It went over very well, but there is at least one of the men who did show up that we want to try and use.

I've done Working twice, and it went over VERY well both times. People really seem to relate to it, and the music is great.

Baby is not one of my favorites, but every time it's been done around here it's been very well received.

Thanks, Red. I've ordered both plays as well as "Mashuggah-Nuns" but am leaning towards "Working" right now.
