#1looking for something offbeat for show/concert?!
Posted: 3/9/09 at 9:22pmour high school does a Broadway concert and the seniors want to do a number, but we want to do something fun/funny big, yet offbeat (a show not many know, ex. NOT wicked,Joseph,wiz, etc.) I can say that these seniors are some of the most talented people, especially musically. so if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it. thanks!

I don't know what all you consider to be too popular, but here's some ideas.
One (finale)- A Chorus Line
Comedy Tonight- Forum
There's No Business Like Show Business is always a good choice.
I would also take a look at some Forbidden Broadway. That could be really hilarious.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

Twenty Million People from My Favorite Year
Don't Waste the Moon from Carrie
"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."

Perform the title song to Hair and then segue into Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In.
A three song medley, you can't miss.
