And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Haha, well there was. I kind of got trigger happy when I posted and made two posts so I deleted as much of the duplicate as I could. Sorry for the confusion.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 2:22amI saw a fantastic production of this musical at a High School. It can be done but should only be attempted if you have a very large number of very strong people. Otherwise it can really crash and burn.
You are young, life has been kind to you. You will learn.

I agree with bially, only if the cast is really strong. The local production I saw was very good and when the "boy next door" told Esther "Pardon me but...you don't need any beauty sleep." -- the audience swooned!
So, it can be done!! The Broadway production, nevertheless, gave me indigestion.
