South Pacific (Sophomore year - Harbison)
Grease (current year, Junior - Lead Dancer)
I don't know about any of you that remember your high school shows, but was there more drama involved in the casting and stuff than there was on the actual stage? Definitely how it is at my school - they make the politics so obvious.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Musicals:
The Sound of Music- Friedrich Von Trapp
42nd Street-Bert Barry (amazing show and experience. Our Peggy injured herself two weeks before the show opened and an understudy had to learn the part in just three days. The show hit a little too close to home for us:)
Fame-Schlomo Metzenbaum...luckily I had a bunch of friends in the show to make it not a complete waste of time.
Play:
Voices from the High School..had a couple scenes, it's a show made up entirely of monologues and scenes.
"I hope you're all happy, keeping Alan off the team. Couldn't you, for once, open your minds and hearts and hear something that he couldn't see? I, for one, am glad that Alan is blind, so he can't see what, I am so sad to say, you can't hear." -Jerri Blank

"The Doctor Inspite of Himself" - Lucinde (she's mute until the end which didn't look like a lto of fun but it IS! Not a lot of lines but a LOT of fun)

I'm jealous of schools that get to do a musical every year. They have this system where we alternate every other year doing a musical and going on a trip. I would rather do a musical every year than go somewhere though.
Freshman year I was in the ensemble of birdie.
Now I'm in my junior year, and I'm the Herald in Cinderella because we don't have enough guys that can sing to have a male Herald.
Sometimes I really hate my school.
HROK?

Posted: 1/3/05 at 7:30pmNone. My school district NEVER put on shows. In college, two years ago was the first musical they ever did and I was a part of it. It was OKLAHOMA! But, we did do two years of Musical Revues and I played a lot of characters. I had the most parts of the guys both years. Go Me!!!
