What musical should 1st-year performing school do?

Question:My school only does really lame plays, but a lot of us want to do musicals. If we are successful in convincing someone to let us do musicals, what should we do? We need something semi-simple, but still VERY good! I would not want to do Wizard of Oz bcuz that's should be officially named the beginner's musical, even though I do like it.

So, if you have any ideas, I would really appreciate it! Please do not cuss in your answer! Thanx!

pippin is about a young teenage boy who is the heir to the throne but he doesn't know what he really wants to do with his life.

Into the Woods! ?

It's amazing, and there's a Jr. version, if you wanted to do that.

Some of the previous ones can't be done because the rights have not yet been released - and Wicked is definitely not a beginner's musical - but I would suggest Seussical, Fiddler on the Roof, or Once on this Island.

ok. my first musical was ''Annie''. youd think it be corny, but its not . it is a FANTASTIC play.

:)

Fiddler on the Roof is a good starter play.
Ohh and Bye Bye Birdie!

Oklahoma!!!
