Hi Everyone

At our Performing Arts High School, next year's fall play and winter musical are about to be announced - next week. However, in the week leading up to the announcement, our director is supplying us with clues as to what the shows are.

Being crafty and whatnot, we figured we'd turn to you guys for help. So help! please!

Musical clue #1 = Moses' first wicked book.

Fall Play clue # 1 = Dunaway's female deer.

ANY IDEAS?

Ok... i think i can help

Musical: Moses' first wicked book
Moses' first book of the Bible was Genesis. Stephen Schwartz wrote wicked.... Children of Eden (the story of Adam and Eve and Noah from Genesis) with music by Stephen Schwartz

Play: Dunaway's female deer.
I'm thinking a french farce by Georges Feydeau. FAYE Dunaway and and doe (female deer). now, which one, i don't know...

hope this was helpful

The play deduction is brilliant. Does it have a cast with a number of principle roles above, say, 15?

And on Children of Eden, it's been mentioned by some students, but not quite excitedly at that.

Children of Eden is a beautiful show. That seems to make sense with the clue very well.

The musical could be Joseph... as well as that story is in Genesis too, but including "wicked" in there, it's likely Children of Eden.

My guess for the play would be Hotel Paradiso.

Final ones:

For the Fall Play:
# 3 --L.O. Smith's Foul

For the Musical:
Can't Stop The Rasmus' Flip Side + Joanie's Slam on Potsie + A. Ford's Mirror Image + Sci.Notation's Pseudonym + According to IATA, DMM'S runner-up = TITLE OF MUSICAL

The Rasmus have a singled called "Living in a World Without You," which is very close to a title of a song in Children of Eden.

CONGRATS:
It was Children of Eden, and the play is Absolute Turkey by Feydeau.

Anyone know anything about Turkey?

Actually, the graduate theater program at my school (Villanova University) put on a production of Le Dindon (the French for "An Absolute Turkey) and it was absolutely hysterical. It's something of a bedroom farce - lots of mistaken identity, sexual innuendo and general shenanigans. I thought it was excellent; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
