High School Appropriate?
Is this show high school appropriate? I saw videos on Youtube of some songs that may be questionable, but the version on MTI seems to be different, with some of those songs cut already.

I Need a Tevye Beard!!!
Hi, im a 17 year old who was just cast in the role of Tevye at a local youth theater. I don't think I will have time to grow a beard like Topol's fabulous one.. but I was wondering if anyone knew of any great online theatre websites who would have some great very realistic beards.. (because Tevye was not 17 not to mention that fact he couldn't shave his beard in the first place)

Big: The Musical
Does anyone know why the song list for Big: The Musical does not include all of the songs from the original Broadway production? It seems like some of the best songs in the show were cut from the liscensed version.

Introduce students to Sondheim with SATURDAY NIGHT

Sondheim musicals can be too challenging and even too adult for high school productions, but a great show for high schools is Sondheim's SATURDAY NIGHT. It is unusually tuneful and much easier to learn and perform well than most other Sondheim shows. All the characters are aged 16 - 24, so the story is not far from students' experiences. There are more than the usual good roles for women in the show and the chorus can be large or as small as 6 people, depending on your needs. The show takes place in 1929, just before the Stock Market Crash, and as each character prepares to take their next big step in life. There is a nice combination of the sweetness of life mixed with hard realities, and how the devotion of friends helps you through challenging times. Take a look at it.

Could anyone please tell me where you got the instruments for this show? Did you have the students actually use their own instruments or did you buy plastic ones? I would be grateful for any help!

Seussical with a Female JoJo
Ok...do to a lack of boys in my Junior High program I had to cast a female in the role of JoJo in Seussical Jr. Now, I have everything worked out and it works...except for one line in the People vs Horton that originally reads "Now just for a moment young Jojo looked grim, the fate of the whos rested squarely on him."Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you change the line to? Obviously the rhyme sceme is off if I just change him to her. I have all of the other gender references changed, but this one has me stumped. Any suggestions?
