Um....WTF???
This may have been some avant-garde production of CATS...
Listen to this production of Beauty and the Beast with Roseanne Barr as musical director and conductor...

Ah! too good.
I swear he spoofs "Blood Brothers" in the middle.
^ That is spectacular! How did this ever pass under my radar?
The inner gay man inside of me is loving every moment of it.

Dunno if it's already been posted, but this is a pretty horrendous rendition of Company.

So, this sin't a musical, but it IS a high school....
It's a spring 2005 production of The Diary of Anne Frank, as adapted for the 1997 Broadway revival by Wendy Kesselman. This is one of my favorite plays, yet I still had to fight the urge to call out "they're in the attic!"

The final scene, Otto's epilogue, is frighteningly awful. Somehow, I think Anne would prefer the clutches of the Third Reich to the high school cast..
Some of these clips are quite good.
GO LVA!

Ugh, that Company video was painful. Really, some people shouldn't be allowed near Sondheim.
By now, we're all familar with Blacklick Valley High School. However, I think they have competition ...

I agree with the YouTube commenter that said this Audrey II sounds like one of the "wrong-sounding muppets" from Family Guy.

Nevermind - worse "Feed Me".
I mean, it's middle school...but still...if they choose to do a show like this, they have to expect it'll suck...

This is horrible...
But it's kinda funny

I'd love to know whose idea it was to do Les Mis at an all-girls school.

Haha! Well, at least she kept character!
This is another great stage fall too, although I'm almost positive it's not a high school production lol

Look for the (female?) narrator nearly forgetting her lyrics in the first couple of lines of Ever After.

God, just another reason sondheim should not be done by middle schoolers or high schoolers.
Is there a reason why the narrator is wearing wings???
