Assuming that high schools around the country will secure the rights for Spring Awakening; list your suggestions for lyric changes.

Posted: 1/13/09 at 11:52pmThey should sing the version from Forbidden Broadway.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 12:35amIf you're doing it at a high school, I would think that the language in one song wouldn't be your only problem... I can't imagine a show with a sex scene on stage would make it to a high school.

^What's the FB version?
I know they performed with "stuck" on some morning talk show..maybe the Today Show? I thought it still worked.
As much as some high schools would love to do the written version, there'd be no way the majority of schools would be aloud to have song with the word f*** in it. The worst my high school ever got away with was damn and ass.
Also, I agree that there are soo many other concerns besides the cursing in the show to worry about if a high school is wanting to perform it.

That could very easily be staged less explicitly.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 12:55ami think if people want it to stay true to how it is, then it would work better for the college or regional stage.

"Get the balls to do it as written"
Here, here!
But I agree there are much worse things for the school board to worry about with this show. You wont be seeing this at your local high school for a very very very long time.
I think RENT is the most controversial high school theatre will (generally) ever get.

I like the "Don't Quit Your Night Job" version, as performed by Mitt Romney.

They did "stuck" at Broadway on Broadway '08.
I'm personally a fan of the Tony Awards mouth-cover.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 8:45amSeriously. Just do another show and leave the balls (such as they are) on this one.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 10:55amWell I wouldn't be surprised if MTI isnt working on a student version right now like they have for Rent, sweeney todd, and les miz.

It could, but could you manage without the sex being present at all? I'm not sure you could.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 12:00pmI like to watch how the High schools bowdlerize Cabaret- I can't even imagine what they'd do to this.

Posted: 1/14/09 at 12:41pmThe actual original version of CABARET is pretty tame. The trouble is, most groups now rip off the Sam Mendes revival version, which added lots of kinky stuff.

This is STUPID
the song is called "Totally F*cked". not "Totally Stuck"
you can't blatntly change the lyrics and song title.
I mean, I guess you coud. But it sucks for you if someone reports you to MTI for doing that. and trust me... it's very possible.
ever since someone posted a bunch of MTI material on the internet (full MTI libretto of "High School Musical", "Rent", etc.) they've really been stepping up on keeping tabs of their rentals.

LuPonatic-- Yes indeed! That certainly captures the meaning of the show!
Shannon-- It's here! This is like my favourite video on YT. It's got Norm Lewis as Obama... I sing this song all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7EOSaD36Ko WARNING: Slight adult content.
Joe-- That's nothing compared to Blacklick Valley High School's Les Miserables. "Don't they know they're taking gloves from one already dead?"
