Hey, I wasn't getting testy, I was just pointing something out that I thought was funny ... I was nowhere *near* "attacking" any poster(s). So, please, there's no need to tell me twice, TDH. Thanks!

Thank you all so much. I just found out it is definetely not 1776. We had guessed Brigadoon, so that might be it. Another guess floating around was Drood (But yes, I know Drood is 1800's). We had never guessed Pimpernel, J&H, Jane Eyre or Secret Garden, so thank you for those. I don't think it's Les Mis. Nice scary bunny.

Robber Bridegroom? (from a google search)
I was with the 1776 crowd as well. It does fit the criteria. So, the teacher is having fun with the class.

Good, because most of those are not set in the 1700's.

I don't think it's Les Mis.

Les Miz also doesn't start until the 1800s...

I was going to add guesses of Cyrano or 3 Musketeers, but both are 1600s.
Student Prince is 1800s, so that one is out as well.

Nope. It'll be announced on the 30th. I'm going to be on a cruise, but I'll have a friend post it.

Don't most high school shows suck a little?

Not ours. My school is well-known through the nation for its drama, band and publications. We just did "Beauty and the Beast", and it was so good that a guy from Disney came to see it and said he thought it was a professional production (i'm not quite sure if that was a compliment or if he was just too punch-drunk to remember where he was . We also had a really good Chicago a while ago. It was honestly one of the best shows I have been to.

while Brigadoon takes place in "modern times," the mythical village of the title is still living as if it were 200 years earlier. I guess we could debate whether the people are actually living in 1747 or merely "think" they are living then, but the dialog, sets, and costumes are all 1700's era.

Aw man. Well, g'luck with it! Even if you don't get a principal, it's a fine show for chorus. Just a shame it's EVERYWHERE. If I hadn't moved house this year, then next spring would've been my THIRD time doing this show! One can get a little bored, ya?

Oliver is not set in the 1700s.
It was written in the late 1830s and set in that time period.

So what was the second show being considered?

Actually, more than one person dies in 'Oliver!', so I hope that clue wasn't referring to this show!

(Yeah, spot who played Old Sally? That's right, suckers! Moi! )
