Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools you can rent the blue prints to build the 3 sizes of Audrey II needed for the show.

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools Yes, but "build"? I don't understand, what materials is it made out of?

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools I figured....."build" just seemed like the wrong word to use. But okay.

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools Getting back to the original topic, some parents are so conservative that they could find something objectionable in just about any musical. Even Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has the scene with Potiphar's wife. The only shows I can think of that are so clean that no sane person could find anything objectionable in them whatsoever are Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and High School Musical.

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools I think this may be why my daughter has decided to direct a cabaret each fall at the high school where she teaches. It allows her to choose her favorite songs from more current musicals.

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools That's actually a really good idea. It's probably a lot less of a hassle not having to worry about licensing and stage craft and what have you.

Re: Musicals that are or aren't appropriate for high schools A lot of musicals have adult themes in them. Fame has drug themes, Grease has teen pregnancy themes, hell - even Oliver! has Bill physically abusing the hell out of Nancy to the point where she dies. It really depends on the school.

Re: Agreed...community standards are a tricky thing...it only takes one loud voice in opposition to sound like an army of dissent...
