I'm not sure if this might belong on the student or the off-topic board...so sorry in advance.

The girl who's going to be directing our spring musical at school hinted that one of its major set pieces is going to be a bridge or a wall. Does anyone know any musicals that fall under this category? It's also one of the band director's favorite musicals - and as far as I know, South Pacific is his favorite. But I don't know if South Pacific has bridges or walls. Can anyone help?

Les Miz...wow...dunno if my school could handle that. But it'd be great if we did that! Thanks for the suggestions - and anyone else who wants to guess, keep 'em coming! :)

Yeah, I know, it's a great clue. The director loves teasing us. I don't know why they don't just tell us what it is in advance, so we can prepare.

Amour has a wall. The whole premise of the show is that the main character can walk through walls

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

ya this can go on forever. How many musicals have some sort of wall!?

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

I think every musical has some sort of wall involved.

I really think its footloose. Most schools can build the brisge and do a wall of grafitti. But i would be interested to know what infact it is so please update us.

Scarlet Pimpernel has a bridge.

David walked into the valley With a stone clutched in his hand He was only a boy But he knew someone must take a stand There will always be a valley Always mountains one must scale There will always be perilous waters Which someone must sail -Into the Fire Scarlet Pimpernel

I think you guys are missing the most famous one of them all:

"Cyrano The Musical"

That has a bridge and a wall in it.
