cAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! tELL ME WHAT YOU ALL THINK.

This is no surprise. Schools have been performing the show for ages (and will be more than ever, now that the movie has made it such a teen fad), and the "Les Miserables" school edition was a pretty solid precedent for this.
Sweeney Hyde

Old news.

YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe now I'll actually have a chance to be Joanna! or Mrs. Lovett!

Yeah, I heard about this before. We still wouldn't get away with it in my community.

What makes me laugh is that I knew exactly what show it was going to be! Seeing such young performers in this show might be kind of weird....but hey, props to them if they can pull it off. Like Rent's school edition.

FABULOUS!

Oh wait...I'm graduating...

Well, the first time I saw the show it was with teens, and it was spectacular (like, really amazing, with their own spin and everything), so I'm happy.
Monsieur D'Arque

I played Pirelli at fourteen. Yay.

When wanting to make more Sondheim shows accessible (sp?) for schools and kids to perform, Sweeney Todd Jr. was rumored for a while. Good thing they chose Into the Woods. This shouldn't be too bad, I don't think.

I thought Merrily would be next...although it's pretty much already a school edition.

As long as they stay away from Passion and Sunday, I'm happy.
(I will cry buckets the day the latter appears)

Huh. I never knew there's a school edition of Ragtime.

Amen!

There are certain shows schools just plain shouldn't do, like RAGTIME (!!!!), Sweeney Todd, Cabaret, etc. If there is something in a show that the school does not feel comfortable putting onstage, DO NOT DO THAT SHOW! Don't just edit it and ruin the whole thing.
