INCREASING THE CAST SIZE There are 21 speaking parts in this nativity musical, but these can easily be increased by:
splitting the three hosts’ lines between lots of children
splitting the 3 shepherds’ lines between up to 15 children
splitting the three innkeepers’ lines between six children, although Innkeeper 1 needs to take all of the lines on page 16.
For increasing the number of non-speaking parts, have as many townspeople, angels, shepherds, sheep, backing singers and innkeepers as you like.
DECREASING THE CAST SIZE The minimum number of children that you could perform this nativity musical with is 26, but that would require:
having just two hosts
having just one floor manager who would also take on the voiceover role
having just six townspeople who would double up as the kings and camels
having just two angels, four shepherds and four sheep. These parts would need to double up as the Star, 6 backing singers and 3 innkeepers.
