This musical has tunes with multiple part harmonies and needs lots of voices to be its best.
The adult chorus members sometimes are there just for their singing, but they are in costume too:
Loes has great voice and was in several scenes
Charles the knife seller (his son Graham also helps him with this)
This young lady who sells strawberries.
Isabelle and Laura (aka Widow Corney) who sell milk
More Chorus members waiting to go on.
Dee, who was a rehearsal keyboard leader got dressed as a bag lady and joined in the chorus fun at the last performance of "Ommpapa".
The kids chorus does double duty plus. All kids are in the workhouse scene.
Some 10 go into Fagin's gang for the rest of the show.
Others become part of the kid chorus, singing and acting in all the scenes with songs. They are bundles of directed energy which lift the show wonderfully.
WOW! That's amazing mom! I can't wait to watch the musical this summer with the kids.
