Director's Note
Considerations
Disney’s Mulan Junior has a large number of both
female and male principal characters who all need to be able to sing solo lines. Because the story of Mulan centers on a woman pretending to be a man, there are 6 or 7 major roles that definitely need be played by men. There are also a good number of small, featured roles in the
show to showcase your ensemble members.
Involve The Community
Try to find a member of your local community or a community near by who can come into talk to your cast about traditional Chinese customs and heritage. If possible have them read a version of the original Mulan poem to your cast in the
Chinese language. Finally, work with a local restaurant to plan a dinner where you give the students the opportunity to sample traditional Chinese food.

Ways To Expand
Mulan Jr. allows for a large ensemble of soldiers, brides-to-be
and family members. The show is also written to use a large
ensemble of actors supporting the show as a chorus.
Musical Difficulty
With many solos and solo lines for Mulan, the 5 Ancestors, Shang, Mushu, the
three soldiers and ensemble singing with harmonies this show is musically one of
the more challenging of the Broadway Junior titles. There are a number of solo
line opportunities if you have a large and talented cast.
