What is a good musical to do at high school?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

romeo and Juliet

Answer 3

My Kids did Grease at school, and it turned out an Absolute success.

Answer 4

I really like Cyrano de Bergerac, Guys & Dolls. These were very well done.

Answer 5

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.
