I need a family friendly musical to direct for a community theater. It must meet the following requirements:
Must be funny or light hearted (preferably hilarius) Must be family friendly Must have amazing music Must be a good length Must have a larger cast and Must NOT be any of the following:
Sound of Music Mary Poppins Willy Wonka Cheaper by the Dozen Pirates of Penzance Oklahoma Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat Jesus Christ Superstar
But needs to be in the same general style/genre as the above
any ideas? I'm thinking about South Pacific but it seems dramatic and sad, anybody have any experiance with this or any ideas?

TRY annie , chitty chitty bang bang , sweeny tod (graphic one) i like all so maybe you will too and mamma mia is good but chick flick kinda
Do In to the Woods. if you want it to be REALLY family friendly do the jr version. its' just the first act. The second act is more about everything falling apart, but it should be still good.
OR if you want to do South Pacific I personally find it really family friendly. Yes there are parts that aren't so light hearted, but the parts that are can hilarious if done right. although if your trying to aim towards kids, its a little iffy but i think most kids would enjoy it.
i know someone else said Wizard of Oz, and its obviously a classic, you can't really go wrong with it. although personally its been overdone lately but maybe that' just me
my last suggestion would be cinderella. while i have never seen it myself, one has to imagine that considering the story it would family friendly.
suessical the musical it's family friendly and can be really funny! it has a good cast size too. I don't know if it's what you're looking for but check it out.
