Question: What is a good musical to do at high school!?
Next year, my high school is doing a musical!. After much thought, I couldn't think of much to do!. What would be a good one to do that doesn't need a lot of set and isn't to hard on the vocal and instrumental side!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
To the above poster, if you've seen any high schools perform Wicked, they've done so illegally!.!.!.the rights aren't available yet becuase it's still on Broadway!.

Good musicals for High Schools:

Guys and Dolls
Grease
Honk!
Urinetown
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Once upon a Mattress
Footloose
Fiddler on the Roof

I picked these as good ensemble shows that can work for big casts and have the opportunity for some small breakout roles other than just leads!. I wasn't looking at set and difficult, sorry!. Most you could get away with minimal set, but vocal difficulty varies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmm!.!.!.I'm not sure if it's hard to do, but this is a good musical: "Wicked" It's funny, great, and iv'e seen alot of high schools perform it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
