There are some shows that have not been released yet that I cannot WAIT for high schools to start doing. And by "cannot wait", I mean I look forward to seeing because they will be a mess. And I'm talking about your average high school, not one that is filthy rich and puts on amazing Broadway caliber productions.
Frankly, I can't wait until Wicked is available and schools start doing that. Girls will kill each other to be Elphaba or Galinda, the riffs during Defying Gravity will be amazing, and the faulty techniques they will attempt to use to make Elphaba fly are sure to become YouTube gold!
What other shows will be entertaining to see at the high school level? Updated On: 6/30/07 at 05:58 PM
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Just like High Schools don't attempt Passion, A Little Night Music, Sunday In The Park With George, etc. Though I'm sure a school might have tried one of those shows - it's VERY rare.
Spelling Bee: In an effort to cast “as many students” as possible, they’ll have a chorus of extra spellers onstage; additionally, they’ll have separate actors playing the roles of the spellers’ parents instead of the normal doubling. And since this show can be done on a shoestring budget (the school can use what they already have for the set and people can wear their own clothes as costumes) expect lots of suckage.
Oh and just think the more conservative high schools will censor "My Unfortunate Eruption". They’ll either cut the song altogether or change the lyrics to something worse than "Boobs and Tush".
Anakela, I'll never seen one either, but someone has posted on this board that they saw a high school (or middle school) production that used "boobs and tush".
