Double the cast, double the fun for 'Aladdin Jr.'

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "'Too much of a good thing' isn't a phrase that applies to Tony Marino's Stage Right School for the Performing Arts.
When the artistic director of Stage Right found it difficult to single out only a handful of his talented students for the company's upcoming children's production, 'Disney's Aladdin Jr.,' Marino solved his problem by double-casting the musical."

I think that double casting is fine for middle school shows and community kids theatre, like this seams to be. I recently heard that my high school is double casting their spring musical, because they have a new director. I think it is not good in cases like that because people need to learn to deal with rejection or roles, if they are interested in the theatre.
