"Not to be clueless, but what does this production have to do with Edwin Drood?"

The link morosco posted shows other productions by this school. One of them is Edwin Drood with a cast that looks like it numbers into the thousands.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Why the hell is everyone so negative. The costumes look pretty darn good, and they look like they are having a good time. Unless you saw it, I suggest not knocking it, b/c it could have been wonderful.


Good for them!

I agree. It's HIGH SCHOOL...not the movie or the National or the Broadway revival!

I mean...should we burn them as witches?

Because Effie is wearing glasses.

When I was in HS we did Once On This Island with an all white cast, and it came out very good, and we happened to win an award. Color isnt everything...

Check out the "learning objectives" under the Song and Dance link at the bottom of the page. Under Spiritual, they list

"Students will learn to respect their bodies and the bodies of their peers."

Let's not snub high school shows! I was just in an amazing 65 person cast of Beauty and the Beast and I can assure you that it was better than a lot of "Professional" shows I've seen. Anyone who's interested in pictures let me know! Be Our Guest was just overwhelming...I was Cogsworth and my brother was... THE CHEESEGRATER!

I have seen productions a thousand times worse than this. And that's just this week!

I didn't see any mention of Drood there, though. Don't know how I missed it.

I think it is too cute! They look like they gave it their all. And remember, high schools and colleges often use "colorblind casting" solely because their pool of willing actors is so small. A friend of mine (who is white) was once so exhausted in college from her involvement in the school's musicals that she breathed a sign of relief when the music department's upcoming show turned out to be Ain't Misbehavin'. No one could fault her for not participating, right, and she would get much needed rest. But not enough actors auditioned and the chairman begged her to join the cast.

Anyway, hooray for the Dreamgirls (HS) cast!!

"My HS before I got there did THE WIZ with an ALL white cast."

Isn't that basically The Wizard of Oz?

Honestly, besides the whole color issue, it doesn't look that bad for a high school musical. Their Secret Garden looks really good, too.

I would honestly love to see Dreamgirls performed at more high schools provided they have the talent
I think it would be a great high school show considering there are so many meaty roles
