Question: My brothers school is going to be putting on a musical!. Any good ideas!?
Okay, there are a few things this musical has to have!. First of all, it has to be a musical!. It also has to be preferably a comedy with a large ensemble!. There are a few more terms but you couldn't help with those!. Please list as many good ones as you know and I'm sure my brother will be very thankful!. Thanx!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You won't get the rights for:

-Hairspray
-Xanadu
-Legally Blonde
-Mary Poppins
-Mamma Mia

as they're all still on Broadway or touring!. However, Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma!, Fiddler on the Roof, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, South Pacific, My Fair Lady, Into the Woods, Pirates of Penzance or the Wizard of Oz (do the RSC version, it's much better than the MUNY version) are all great options for schools!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on how old they are!. Cinderella, Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, Fiddler on the Roof, Calamity Jane, and Hello Dolly are all plays I've seen middle and high schools do well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
