Posted: 12/24/05 at 11:29pmIt can be done simply. However, the music is very vocally demanding. A lot of strong singers inclucding males. Listen to the song "Lily's Eyes" --- it's chilling! Some of it is fun ("Wick") and nice to the ears ("Winter's on the Wing"). I have the script - I've never read all of it. But Marsha Norman is known to be a good librettist. And it's a classic story.

I said this before in another thread, but my high school put this on last year. It was fairly easy. A sophomore (who I swear is going to win a TONY someday) designed the set. It was gorgeous! Fashioned after Victorian greeting cards... anyway, yeah we really did have to have a bunch of strong singers... men and sopranos... a lot of sopranos! I love the Quartet (although, it's not my favorite of the show)!
Hope this helps, Footlooser!
