I talked to my director today about next years show at my high school.
She won't tell us the show, but she says its by rodgers and hammerstein, written around the 50s, and has two words
so of course i ran to my broadway book and
I'm guessing either South Pacific or Damn Yankees
are there any other ones that fit into this category that you can think of?
"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

Well it's definitely not DAMN YANKEES.
SOUTH PACIFIC is probably it. I can't imagine your high school doing PIPE DREAM...

Don't we not know who killed him because Charles Dickens died before he finished the novel?
I think the audience just decides.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 1:01amehh, kinda way too easy of a clue in my opinion, I mean we're pretty sure it wouldn't be Pipe Dream, so that only leaves South Pacific. At least say it starts with S or something so then you could debate between South Pacific or Sound of Music.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
