Less than 10 Minutes
10 to 20 Minutes
21 to 30 Minutes
31 to 45 Minutes
Caution: Run-times are estimates from word-count (plus estimates for songs, where applicable). This will vary enormously due to speaking rate, stage business, songs and dances and the logistics of getting large casts on and off small stages!.
