Guess Another Musical…

I’m not quite sure how messages like this are looked upon by the BroadwayWorld community, but I figure if anyone would be able to help me out, it would be someone on these boards…

Every year, my school’s choral director, like so many others, gives clues as to which musical we will be putting on. An example of a clue he has given before: “Prell.” As in the shampoo. Of course, this alluded to the song “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” from South Pacific. Sure enough, that was the school musical that year.

So… stealing the idea for this thread from BDavis0092, I am asking for your help. Here is the only clue he’s given us so far:

Clue # 1: It ain’t no bull!

I’ll be posting more as he gives them to us.

I’m a big fan of musicals, but I haven’t the slightest what he’s getting at with this clue. Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance!

Maybe you're doing Whoop- Up!

"Nobody Throw That Bull"...

Not a bad guess. But I think that show might be considered a tad bit controversial for a school like ours. I'm not quite sure the whole Indian reservation plot would really fly...

Geez, I'm not even sure if Whoo-Up! can be licensed these days. I don't see it listed at any of the major licensing houses...

Our school usually sticks to more mainstream fare. Your typical shows: My Fair Lady, Guys & Dolls, Little Abner, The Wizard of Oz, etc.

Annie Get Your Gun perhaps? I know there's the character Chief Sitting Bull. But I don't really see how that has anything to do with the clue he's given us...

Any more guesses?

"Cowgirls"? Because...it's not a bull...it's a cow.

If the clue means cow, doesn't Into the Woods have a cow in it? Also, I think Candide has a cow in it as well.

Haha, I love how the very first thought through my head was Porgy and Bess, since I ALWAYS for absolutely no reason associate cows with the name Bess. Time for my morning coffee.

Oklahoma .... because it is about COWboys and farmers.

I have no clue .. I'm just guessing.
