2005 High School Musicals Across the USA — Page 5

my school is doing INTO THE WOODS

and i got cast as the BAKER! (OK, in the understudy cast, meaning I only get 1 performance, but i am SO SO SO excited! its like the first lead i ever got lol)

my best friend in the world is the BW, so talk about awkward stage kisses...

I go to Lachsa and we're doing Fame and Dreamgirls. In Fame, I'm Serena and in Dreamgirls, I got Lorrell(color blind casting). Fame is going to be really good and we're just starting rehersals for dreamgirls. I'm really excited for Dreamgirls b/c no high school has ever done it. They are worth seeing, come if you live near L.A.

CTY, my school did Into The Woods last year, and it was so amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better time. It's funny because we had an understudy cast that performed only one night, too. Way too much drama went on with that but hopefully it will be better at your school! Good luck!

pippin (one act), twelfth night (not a musical..but still...we did it), and pirates of penzance (we'll see how that goes)

Once Upon a Mattress! I'm playing Lady Larken

The production fo Into the Woods (hgih school) in my area was amazing. Except for a few miscats, everyone played their parts to perfection.

Whoa SeeIreally, you consider Into the Woods sucky?

Yeah I fail to see the suckiness with anything sondheim. I WISH we did something like into the woods. Our director has this 10 year rotation basically. Last year was Guys and Dolls, This year is South Pacific. Not to complain though cuase I got Emile and it suits my voice well. This is in Delaware btw. I know other schools around me are doing Les Mis, Man of laMancha, Fame, Music Man. I would love to take on some newer shows like Urinetown, or Thoroughly Modern Millie, or something along those lines. But a lot of subject matter needs to be taken out sicne we are a catholic school and the priests have their heads up u know what.
You all will enjoy the fact that we can't do Grease because the whole Rizzo might be pregnant. The whole mooning bit would have to be removed which basically means removing a character. HOW BOUT THAT. so there u go. and to the Into the Woods hater, that is a great show and ur lucky

my school had the some problem last year when we did Les Miz, they made us make our show a few weeks earlier b4 the traveling company was there

Yes about the Seuss one. My school did it last summer and we were the first in the area to do it. This school year, at least 6 high schools in my area are doing Seussical. Its crazy.

Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast (I'm the Beast) we were going to do Les Miserables but we had like 8 males come and we needed like thirty..I'm so glad I'm graduating with beauty and the Beast

My junior high is performing "OZ!" which is going to be awful. The teacher that usually directs the musical has no time to be involved with any aspect of it this year. That leaves us with the stage manager, who's never directed a play before, as our director. The high school is performing "Beauty and the Beast" and a few of my friends are seniors as well as excellent actors, so I'm psyched to see what roles they're casted as.

always, Lexi

i'm so jealous of the schools doin les mis. but at my school we haven't heard yet. our teacher knows but had to check a few things first. it btwn little shop and south pacific i do believe. our teacher wanted to do damn yankees but we don't have enough guys, let alone talented ones. we are currently working on YAGMCB. i'm patty! but to all the high schools-break a leg!!
