So, after my Greek-related shows thread, I found out that Greek mythology/ Greece is not an overall theme of the show, just plays some part or another. But, my main clue now is that a high school has never yet done it before. What are some shows that's rights are released but yet to be done by a high school?

NEVER? Hard to say you would be the first.....as lots of schools jump on the newly released bandwagon.

Old Calcutta?

Xanadu was just released, right? That would definitely fit the bill.

If there are school rights released, chances are it's been done. Either way, no way of knowing what's never been done unless someone from every school everywhere contributes to this thread.

Actually remember a high school in my area doing Passion, as did the high school of some girl on youtube. Oy...
Anyway, my guess is for Legally Blonde. I can't imagine anyone being so certain that a play hadn't been done by a high school unless the rights hadn't been released yet.

The mistake you are making is to assume that there is some rule that high schools can only do musicals which have been done on Broadway. A progressive high school, one whose administration is not troubled by gay subject matter, might like to do ZANNA DON'T, for instance.

Except for the fact that one of the clues that I have been given is that is has been on Broadway and it was pretty recently. Closed, though.

I'd agree with everyone else then, Legally Blonde sounds like the most logical choice.

Off-topic, but I was Mike in a high school production of Zanna, Don't! and it was fabulous.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
