We did The Lightning Thief a couple of years ago. Amazing show. Everyone loved it and a ton of fun to produce. You can get really creative with the staging.

Hello, I need some good musical suggestions for my spring show. I have a rather large Drama Club, but I graduated most of my strong performers. I don't have a standout female or male singer, unfortunately. We are also not a strong dance group, so any show with complicated choreo would be out. I have a dedicated set builder, but our school is undergoing some construction, so space is currently limited. I am just having some real trouble finding some inspiration! We have performed a lot of great shows, and between us and our local community theatre, I am afraid there aren't a ton of good options left. Our most recent musicals include Little Shop of Horrors, Legally Blonde, Beauty and the Beast, Footloose, Annie, and High School Musical. Our local community theatre just did Mean Girls last year, so that is out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
