  • 1.  Rock Musicals for High School stage

    Hello - I'm looking for a rock musical for next year. Any ideas? Spring Awakening is everyone's favorite, but I cannot get past the adult themes. Footloose has been done recently in the region. Godspell? Seussical? Anything new? Aida has been done quite a bit. American Idiot is intriguing ... open to ideas, let me know your thoughts. Thanks everyone.

    The first two that sprung to mind were Starmites and 13, have you looked at those? I believe we had Starmites on the mainstage at Festival a few years ago and it was well received.

    Into the Heights is sort of Latin-rockish haha it is a wonderful show and a lot of fun to put on!

    Check out Changing Minds at Theatrical rights Worldwide. It is a terrific show, with plenty of parts for everyone, great tunes, cool dances and a rock-inspired score. We did it three years ago and once the word got out (high school girl and guy switch minds), it was a sell out every night.
