Having a hard time pleasing board - anybody with experience on Greater Tuna? I'm sure it's funnier with cast of 2, but has anyone ever done it with more? Females playing males parts, etc? Any feedback at all is greatly appreciated.

I have seen it both ways, and the two person version is much better. The costume/character changes are a lot of the fun on the show. If you can get please the board with a two person cast, please let the dressers have a bow (it will probably take two per actor), this always pleases the audience. I do not know if it will help, but the cast does not have to be two men, it could be two women or a man and a woman.

If you must add more people I would suggest as few as possible (maybe four people total instead of two), I think all characters fully cast would really take away from the show.
