    I am contemplating doing Fame for our musical this year. Has anyone encountered difficulties with this script? I am particularly interested in difficulties with parent responses. I am planning to use the more user friendly song at the beginning. Any heads up for my principal and I? Thank you.

    I produced it last year and had no parent complaints...we did the alternate lyrics to "Can't Keep it Down" (the awkwardly euphemistic and just as naughty but without mentioning genitals directly "Can't Keep it Cool"). 

    The only negativity that I faced was from my department chair about the word "asshole" used late in the second act. The "N-word" = no problem...but let's not say "asshole". Ridiculous.
