A theatre in my town just did this production! My best friend was in it. The whole thing was actully really good. I've never seen the movie, but I really enjoyed the stage show. The set was ver simple; just a bridge the actors could walk on and under. The best part of this production by far was the detention scene where they are playing the animal game. My friend was "the earthworm." Basically he crawled across the stage really slowly by raising his butt, moving is chin forward, and putting his butt back down. No one really noticed till he was about half way across the stage, then everyone just lost it. It was so funny, cus he was so serious about it! Then one of the other characters who was supposed to be a chicken "ate" him and he just lied dead on the stage for a while. That part got applause every single night. It was amazing. Good luck with your production!! Let us know how it goes!
