  • 1.  Suggestions for high school musical with many female leads

    Posted 01-26-2025 13:40

    Looking for ideas for a musical for our summer music theatre program.  Needs to have several good female lead opportunities and opportunities for very large ensemble.  The program serves the entire school district and has between 100-150 performers.  Would love to hear your suggestions!!

    We did Mean Girls this fall and it has five female leads and many singing/speaking ensemble characters! It was so much fun. There's a list of ways to tone down the PG-13 rating and take out items that your district may not approve. We made a big change to the middle finger song, which the kids loved! Huge ensemble needed for this show.

    You could consider "Annie."

    If you might consider Christmas in July? "A Night Before Christmas: Christmas Cabaret Concert". 

    A classic traditional tale of Christmas day, modernized for the non traditional ways of today, with 17 original seasonal songs in our

    array.

    We start the musical sleigh ride rockin' down the highway of our memory lanes, with wide open eyes of a child viewing presents,

    pretty lights, snow angels and candy canes. 

    As we round the first bend of these holiday scenes, our sights are now set on what the season truly means, when love takes over

    your heart and soul, bringing you the child of your dreams. 

    Then the checkered flag is in sight as we head out of the final curve to finish our night, putting the pedal to the metal to those

     blurry lines, as we speed back to the future of these frantic rapid changing times.

    The holiday season does end with the drop of the ball, but when it begins now-a-days is anybody's call?

    A holiday musical for any stage. Probably the most stress free musical you can produce. Economical to stage, no pit needed. Up 

    to14 lead/solo roles plus ensemble roles. Most roles can be gender neutral. Sponsorship opportunities built right into the script for

     added profits. Family fun entertainment for all ages. A great holiday musical theater or show choir production.

    Attached is a copy of the script and a Props, sponsorship and staging manual plus a Soundcloud link to all of the songs. Link is

    also located in script on the music page.
