| I believe the last straight play on Broadway with a cast of more than sixty (and was NOT presented by a non-profit) was the 1968 production of "The Great White Hope." That's a long time ago, but I can't imagine the feasibility of a commercial enterprise for a straight play with that many actors ever again. It's not economically feasible, though a musical might have a better shot of paying back investors. But plays don't run long enough anymore, though "Harry Potter" might be an exception to that rule. But it's an anomaly (and it also only has 16 actors in it). |
