- Two minor female and two minor male roles
- A mixed dancing and singing ensemble of tourists, customers and street people
- Ten scenes, eleven songs
- One set for the whole show
What they say about Sometimes a Rainbow:
- It’s the best character I’ve ever played!
- It’s delightful and the best show I’ve seen in many years!
- The musical score is awesome. It had me laughing one minute and crying the next.
- I will never look at homeless people the same way again. The story has great impact!
