Reply:We did the Music Man and Bye, Bye, Birde when I was in high school. They were very big hits and it wasn't that long ago that i was in school. I hope that helps you out.
Reply:One of my favorites that we did when I was in high school was Mame.

Reply:I would agree with all of those, but I am suprised that I did not see "How to Suceed in Business Without Reaally Trying". However, since that show is about all men ruling the corporate world, switch the genders. Make the boy characters girls characters, i.e. Rosemary Pilkington becomes Anthony Pilkington. I saw it done this way last summer, and it was hilarious! It rocked to see women rule the corporate world, and have the men treated as secretarys and oogled after by the women. But here is a website that lists a whole bunch of scripts and scores that you can purchase the rights to, becase while Rent and others would be great to do, the rights ar not available to the public. So you couldn't get the scores, scripts etc...But whatever you do, dont do the Broadway Juniors. They are disgusting and blasphemetic on the sacred world of Musical Theatre

Into The Woods


Little Shop Of Horrors


and


Sideshow. Its not well known, but its a wonderful show.
Reply:Those are good. "Into The Woods", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Phantom of the Opr'y" are all appropriate for high school and good shows, also.
Reply:Wow!


Nice selection. What about something a little meatier, Sweeney Todd or Jekle and Hyde.


Or if they are a little unacceptable, there's other Rogers and Hammerstein's State Fair, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I. Something from Lerner and Lowe? Camelot or Paint your Wagon?


Then there is always Stephen Sondeheim.
Reply:There are lots of options, and many of the ones I would suggest have already been mentioned. The first one I thought of, however, hasn't been said yet, so I'll start my own list with that.





Little Shop Of Horrors


Grease


Guys %26amp; Dolls


Into The Woods - can be difficult musically, but is often toned down


West Side Story


South Pacific


The Pirates of Penzance - also difficult musically





The biggest problem with some of these is getting enough guys for the roles. Cross-dressing will work for some, but not all, of the shows.





For additional shows, you can check out the websites of the royalties companies (Samuel French, MTI, etc.)

Reply:45 minutes from Broadway
Reply:the sound of music, west side story, and into the woods would all be good...
Reply:I can think of a few. Guys and Dolls is always good, can't go wrong with it. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is hilarious and a lot of fun to be in. Big: The Musical is a real good show, excellent music. West Side Story is real good too.
Reply:I recall a cute musical done by high school kids but don't know the exact name although it was based on Al Capp's comic strip of Dogpatch. It included all the characters from the Lil Abner comic strip, such as his gal Daisy Mae Scragg, Mammy and Pappy Yokum , Moonbeam McSwine, Marryin' Sam, and Appassionata. I believe is was based around the Sadie Hawkins Day Race. The cast had a blast and the costumes were the best! Whatever you guys choose just have fun!
