Hey all,

For once, I'm going to have a decent number of guys next year. In fact, three of my guy seniors are AMAZING. They sing, play instruments, are great actors, and are genuinely wonderful to work with. I'd like to show off the three of them but also still provide good opportunities for the girls. So, something like Spamalot, while fun, isn't a great option. I know Guys and Dolls would be an obvious suggestion, but I tend to pick shows a little more off the beaten path. I teach in a somewhat conservative community, but I'm able to push the envelope a little bit. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I love Godspell and Children of Eden, but I'm not comfortable doing religious pieces in public school. I should also mention that there are six high schools and four community theatres in the area with active musical programs, so I definitely need something that is underdone or less well-known and hasn't been done in the area recently. So, keep the rec's coming! :-)

You should look at Shaina Taub's musicals for the Public Theatre's PublicWorks programs. I did As You Like It a couple of years ago and it was terrific. It's definitely off the beaten path, but you do need some diversity in your cast.

Maybe Urinetown? Cladwell, Lockstock and Bobby Strong are all great for showing off the boys, and Hope, Pennywise and Little Sally for the girls, plus a lot of other smaller roles.

I LOVE Urinetown! I directed it in 2010, but maybe it's time for a repeat. :-)
