I felt this as more choir humor, which is nerdier.

The Lion King.
No community theater could ever make that show as magical as the professional production is.

Posted: 8/27/08 at 10:35pmCan you IMAGINE a community theater doing "Sunset Blvd"? The car chase alone...

Choir humor is VERY nerdy.
It's nowhere near as nerdy as Band humor. And after 4 years in my college marching band, I should know!

True. Choir nerds look at band people and laugh. They're like the cosplayers of the music world.

Posted: 8/27/08 at 10:41pmHow about Miss Saigon or Phantom? What high school can afford a chandelier or a helicopter.

Posted: 8/27/08 at 10:57pmYou would be very surprised.

Absolutely. Some schools are obscenely decadent.

AVE Q would not work without top notch puppets and manipulators. If there were not professionals behing it there would just be flapping mouths and no real "character" to the puppets.
The people in the Broadway and tour shows go through intensive training with the Jim Henson people. That's why the show works.

Posted: 8/28/08 at 5:36pmThere was already a high school that did "Phantom of the Opera" near where I live. I believe it was the first high school in the country to produce that show. Apparently, they actually did order in a huge chandelier and all the set. But keep in mind, this school has a lot of money!!

Posted: 8/28/08 at 6:05pmPhantom of the Opera, really? Most improbable that a high school is doing it. For one, the rights are not even available. For two, ALW would be raping them for all the money they got if they even attempted this...

Any show put on by a god awful community theatre/high school is my worst nightmare.
WICKED 'could' work if done by a very talented and well off bunch.
However, the reality is that its going to be mutilated beyond belief with wannabes screeching through the score.
'Popular' no doubt will be incredibly cringe worthy.
