Of thopse who have done them, which is your favorite? We are looking at Once Upon a Mattress [getting to know you version] as well as Fiddler.

I was the musical director last summer for Into the Woods Junior. We did it with ages 8-12 and it was just a hoot. The materials from MTI are wonderful - very easy to use, and they include about 40 pages in every child's script full of information about how to be in a play (how blocking rehearsals work, how to write notes in your script, etc.) I highly recommend the Broadway Junior series from MTI. I haven't yet worked with the G2K series from R&H, but I'm sure they're comparable.

Oh! And we're doing Guys and Dolls Junior this summer. I'm so excited! The idea of 10-year-olds singing "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" just cracks me up.

Yes-- I've done two of them, and I love them, but I can't imagine Fiddler Junior. Just wonderin if anyone has done it that can tell me about it. Thanks for the tips!
