WHAT SHOW TO DO NEXT? AHHHHHHHH I am stuckI am a theatre director at a college in dallas, texas. Last year, we added a program where teenagers, from the ages of 13-18 have there own shows. These teenagers had a very intense adution where they had to sing, dance ( had to have a basic knowledge of tap), and at least 3 years of theatre experenice. 192 teenagers adutions, and we excepted 29 extermely well talented students that are ready to learn. The past muscials we have done are [i]Children of Eden, Pippin, The Secret Garden, Wicked Cabaret, Avenue Q( An edited version), Wicked Cabaret, and we are currently doing godspell. Rehersals last from 9:00 a.m. tell about 7:30 p.m. The hours are extremly long, with only about a week and a half to put it together. But every show has turned out AMAZING with kids getting acting jobs!!! Currently I have no idea what show to do next. There are 17 girls, and 12 boys who can handle anything. Dancing is always a HUGE part in each prouduction so there must be a lot.
I was wondering if anyboy has any ideas for shows to do?

They said "Wicked Cabaret" so I guess cabaret style?
Just clarifying.
Dunno if that makes it legal.
Unless they meant Wicked and Cabaret?

I think it's important she knows!
So she doesn't walk into an audition and say "O Hey, I was Elphaba don'tcha know?"
And then she gets laughed out of the room.
