What's a good high school show?

You're a Good Man Charlie Brown is good for small high schools. First it depends on how big your department is and if you have a music program where kids can be in choir. I'm guessing you probably have tons of girls.
Is your high school big or small?

We have about 20 guys who will try out I'm assuming.

Footloose maybe.

Please no Music Man? Thanks.

My old high school's doing it.

Oh dear.

I'd love to see a good high school production of Urinetown.

I might get yelled at for saying this but, if you have a good core group of dancers FAME is a fun show. I just worked on a high school production and everyone really enjoyed them selfs.

Into the Woods calls for a big cast and needs some really good male voices. It is done more often than it should be, as the piece is pure Sondheim, and, as such, calls for real musicians; at any given time there can be 4 different key/time signatures going on at the same time, so you have to be able to mind your own business an stick to your part! The suggestion about FAME was a good one. My D did it 2 summers ago- the cast was huge and the kids had a ball. The dance numbers can be as simple or as complicated as the kids can handle and the vocal ranges called for span a pretty wide range. The show played in London for years- check it out and read about it's success there.
