Which play would you do?
I'm going to be running the middle school drama production at my school this year. Any other drama teachers?
Which of the following do you think would be best for middle school? It's a small school
The pirates of penzance Into the woods The music man The phantom tollbooth
Thanks!

Re: Which play would you do?
Hi, Last year our school did Pirates of Penzance. I would say to steer away from that one as many kids didn't know it so it took awhile to get everyone on board and into the show. I would say The Music Man or Into the Woods are both great choices. Have fun!!

For middle school, definitely The Music Man. I was in it when I was in Jr High.

Into the Woods!
Fairy Tales are having a renaissance these days and it puts a spin on characters the kids know well.

Into the Woods or The Music Man.
FYI- there is now a "Junior" version of Into the Woods that has been adapted for younger performers:

Re: Which play would you do?
Are the kids good actors? Then Into The Woods. Good acting is pretty much the only way to do Sondheim well. Otherwise, The Music man but you'll need one VERY strong male to carry the whole show.
ETA: And POP is a huge no. Way too hard to sing. You'll need a soprano who has a strong High C at least.
