I just attended a high school performance of Miss Saigon at a high school in California, and wow! It blew me away! I believe nothing was cut for the high school version, and they said everything that was said in the original Broadway production. (including whore, slut, sh!t, ass, etc).
What really blew me away was the fact that a real helicopter came down, instead of a projected one, and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous!
I was thinking that Miss Saigon might be too much for a high school to do, but if they've got enough talent and A LOT of money, I'd say go for it!
(BTW, the cast was half good, half okay. The ensemble numbers were energy-less, however, a lot of individual songs were very well performed!)
