The Fourth Annual National Youth Theatre Awards Photos and Videos coming soon! A
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - 1973 A
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - 1973 takes a satirical look at high school
relationships as in GREASE, FOOTLOOSE, ZOMBIE PROM and yes, the HIGH SCHOOL
MUSICAL movies. This
musical is a love story between the popular kid and new girl in school, a
jealous cheerleader and her groupies who scheme to come between them, and
the teachers who have to put up with all the crazy teenagers. When the
school loses its funding and is about to close, the kids opt to put on a
show to raise the money needed to keep the school open so they can graduate.
Can
a hit show, a brainiac inventor kid, and funky 70’s music save the school?
Win or lose, it’ll be a groovy time trying with great music, dancing,
several principal and supporting roles, and a fun trip back to the 70’s! Original
book and score. Easily adaptable for any sized school. For
more information please e-mail us at West254@aol.com CLASS
OF 77 is a new Australian musical written by Sydney composer David Hines
which is ideal for a high school or youth theatre production. The show
centers around a group of students in 1977 as they prepare to leave
school and face the “brave new world” of the 1980’s and beyond. A
strong cast of colorful characters adds drama, humor and a lot of 70’s
color (and fashions!) to the first act set at school, which
culminates with the end of year prom. In
Act II we are brought forward 15 years to the gang’s school reunion. Many
changes have occurred since they left school and, as old flames are
re-ignited and old jealousies revived, the class learns something of life and
love. As the cast come together for a group photo we learn that, as
wonderful as it is too look back at our school days, the Golden Years are
those up ahead. The
show does not simply use popular songs from the era but has 14 brand new songs, all in a 70’s rock/pop style.
The vocal duties are evenly shared amongst the cast which gives everyone a
chance to shine. The show is scored for either a six piece rock band or a
full orchestra. For those without access to live musicians, a professional
backing CD is included with the license, so any group large or small can
stage this show. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
