Good musicals for middle and high school?

Question:Our school is putting on a big musical for high school and middle school students. They are thinking about the Wizard of Oz because the younger kids could be munchkins, can you think of anything else. The parts do not have to be for younger kids. For example, the last full school production we did was Les Mis and the kids were basically added in as the sons and daughters of the ensemble. PLEASE HELP!!!

Aw, that's cool! I would strongly recommend Seussical, and all the little kids could be Whos. :^) If you've never heard of it, look it up on Wikipedia.
