FLORENCE FLAME.png
the CAST format for web page titles.jpg
Don't Lose Heart - Instrumental Playout
00:00 / 00:00

'Florence' the musical has many smaller and larger parts. Florence Nightingale is the most demanding role. The writers of 'Florence' welcome innovative casting that reflects the diversity of a wide range of backgrounds.

 

For the smaller cast of around 30, speeches could be reallocated and/or combined to create fewer parts and most would play multiple characters. For the larger cast there could be additional stall holders, soldiers, patients, nurses and bigger crowds.
