This was a hit!  We asked adults who really played it up.  (For example … the sick guy came out with a chair to sit on throughout the song, blanket wrapped around him, bucket, etc.)  Everyone brought their own props.  Each person would come on and join the others when their verse came up.  Just sing the introduction line (everyone on stage) but “say with emotion” the individual parts.
