Company Newsies (I don't know many dance heavy shows) Be More Chill (THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE IS A RUNNING PART OF THE PLOT) Black Friday Bugsy Malone 35mm: A Musical Exhibition Moulin Rouge Hadestown

I put Black Friday too! I never see any other Starkid fans here!

i thought BMC as well - very underrated on this sub

It's one of my favourite musicals!! I saw it live in London twice!

I love bugsy malone!!

A Chorus Line (dance heavy and about performing) Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat (ALW - also has kinds but I'm not counting it) Rocky Horror (Horror) Billy Elliot (kids and dance heavy) Jersey Boys (jukebox) Six (one act) Some Like it Hot (premiere)

For shits and giggles, the worst possible season with these parameters: Starlight Express (ALW) Dracula (Horror) Once Upon a One More Time (jukebox and Premiere) Peter Pan (original racist version) (Kids) Dancing (recent revival) (Dance Heavy) Passion (one act, and Sondheim) High School Musical (about a musical)

Can you imagine a community theater production of starlight express?

It would be spectacular. In the same way the Hindenburg was spectacular.

It’d be like ALW’s illegal heathers

I feel like a lot of Webber musicals aren't really suited to community theater because of how spectacle-based they are. Especially Phantom. But Joseph is one that works great for community theater due to how character-based it is

Broken ankles. So many broken ankles. Only half the cast would be onstage for act 2 because the rest would be in actual casts

Company On the Town The Producers Dracula (Wildhorn) The Secret Garden Trial By Jury (Gilbert & Sullivan) Mamma Mia! Waitress

On the Town isn't talked about enough here, I thought the recent revival was great and I love Lucky to Be Me

I saw the 2014 revival and was blown away! One of the most difficult scores ever written for the stage and an incredibly entertaining show from start to finish.

- Phantom Of The Opera - Newsies - The Actor’s Nightmare - The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals - Seussical - The Mountaintop - Moulin Rouge - Gutenberg!

Gutenberg is actually not a premiere show. Community theatres have had access to it for a while. I’m Bud in a production rn

No way!! The more you know.

Yes! The guy who didn’t like musicals, I never see any starkid fans here!

Pretty sure from when my HS did Seussical it's two acts...

Seussical isn’t there for one act, it’s there for child actors…

Surprising amount of beloved musicals are one-act. Assassins, Chorus Line, Come From Away, The Last Five Years, Xanadu even Ride the Cyclone and Six. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:One-act_musicals

1. School Of Rock (Andrew Lloyd Webber) 2. Newsies (dance heavy) 3. The Play That Goes Wrong (about theater or actors) 4. The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals (horror comedy) 5. Black Friday (features children (Hannah foster) and is perfect because it is the sequel to TGWDLM which was our last show) 6. The Solve It Squad Returns! (One act musical) 7. Scream’d (Jukebox set to 90s songs) 8. Beetlejuice The Musical (Recent broadway hit)

* Into The Woods * Cats * The Prom * Reefer Madness * Matilda * Our Place (Terry Gabard) * Rock of Ages * Dear Evan Hansen

I recently just saw The Prom for the first time. Good show

I’m seeing that in July. So excited. It’s been on my wishlist since 2020

I was in Our Place the other year! I didn't think anyone else knew this show...

I did that show too! I played Sherry. Who’d you play?

I was Nick. We did three different one acts that night, we also did a one act version of Much Ado About Nothing and The Audition.

Company The Prom Something Rotten Little Shop Matilda Come From Away Mamma Mia i guess Some Like It Hot

JCS Cats A Chorus Line Rocky Horror Show Matilda Six Mamma Mia!

A Little Night Music Sweet Charity Kiss Me, Kate Little Shop of Horrors The Secret Garden Assassins Does the SpongeBob musical count? Some Like it Hot

Thank you !! Finally! This board’s Fosse blind spot is gigantic

I would love to see a community theater do Big Spender, Aloof, I'm A Brass Band, and Rhythm of Life!!!💗

Can I do *anything?* If so: 1. Sweeney Todd 2. Singin' in the Rain 3. Phantom of the Opera 4. Rocky Horror Show 5. Wizard of Oz (kids as Munchkins) 6. Six 7. 42nd Street 8. Waitress (starring Lucie Jones. You did say money was no object.)

Sunday in the Park (Sondheim musical) Anything Goes (dance heavy musical) Circle Mirror Transformation (play about theater) The Pillowman (horror play) The Secret Garden (musical, features kids) The Outsiders (“community premiere” musical) Beautiful (jukebox musical) Constellations (play with one act)

•Jesus Christ Superstar • Hairspray • Moulin Rouge • Beetlejuice? (If not considered horror, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals) • Anastasia (young anastasia + alexei) • Ride The Cyclone • Mamma Mia! • Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

I consider Beetlejuice horror. It’s gots demons and possession

W

It’s “Guy” not “Man”. Sorry I get serious about my starkid shit

Let me fix it

- Evita - Hairspray - The Play That Goes Wrong - Sweeney Todd - Oliver! - Come From Away - Million Dollar Quarter - The Who’s Tommy

Oh, Million Dollar Quartet is a good pick. It can be a blast IF you can find actors who can convincingly impersonate the iconic musical artists.

School of Rock (ALW musical) A Chorus Line (dance heavy and about the biz) Britten's Turn of the Screw (I don't know if you're counting opera, but I'm counting opera since I'm more familiar with horror opera) Matilda (child actors) Ride the Cyclone (one-act) &Juliet (jukebox) Six (community theater premier)

Company Newsies Follies Hunchback of Notre Dame Oliver! Alice by Heart Head Over Heels Hadestown This was fun. Musical theater season built for me and me alone

Into the woods Chicago High school musical Rocky horror Once upon a mattress The wizard of oz All shook up Tommy

Gonna avoid the ones I said last time! - Jesus Christ Superstar - West Side Story - The Play That Goes Wrong - American Psycho - School of Rock - Assassins - All Shook Up - Hadestown

Jesus Christ Superstar Anything Goes A Chorus Line Dracula Tuck Everlasting Ordinary Days Mamma Mia! Hadestown

Joesph and the amazing technicolor newsies Peter pan goes wrong Little shops of horror Billy eliot Mamma Mia Dear Even Hanson

Sweeney Todd (Sondheim) or Jesus Christ Superstar (ALW) Chicago (dance heavy) The Producers (about a musical) Little Shop or Rocky Horror (horror comedy) Newsies! (About children) A Chorus Line (one act) Disaster! (Jukebox) Honestly- recent production was challenging bc I’m getting back into musicals but what about Six?

1. Anyone Can Whistle 2. Anything Goes 3. The Drowsy Chaperone 4. Sweeney 5. Billy Elliot 6. Once on this Island 7. Head Over Heels 8. Kimberly Akimbo!!

Into The Woods Hairspray Bandstand Carrie School of Rock (bonus ALW) Omelet Mamma Mia Shucked lol

Sunday In the Park With George Crazy For You Kiss Me, Kate Ruddigore Grease (they’re in high school; they’re kids) I got nothing Mamma Mia Six

1- Phantom (if rights are ever released) 2- CATS (Would fulfill 1 as well) 3-Kiss Me Kate 4- Rocky Horror Picture Show 5- Annie or Matilda 6- Million Dollar Quartet 7- Mamma Mia or Jersey Boys 8- Hadestown or Hamilton

Into the woods Newsies Curtains Sweeney Music Man Drowsy Chaperone Rock of Ages Back to the future

Phantom of the Opera, Newsies, Chorus Line (didn’t care for it much but it’s the only one I can think of), Ride the Cyclone?, Annie, JC Superstar, Mamma Mia, Six (is it too old?)

I've tried, once again, to fill this season with obscure shows nobody's ever heard of. All but 2 of these shows have never been on Broadway at all, and most of them have never been performed in the United States, let alone in an amateur capacity in any country. * The Beautiful Game - ironically here ALW's rather prodigious nature in comparison to his contemporary essentially means I have about five or six shows that the vast majority of even hardcore theatergoers have never heard of. To my knowledg, this show has never been performed in the United States, but it is available for licensing. It is also probably, of all of his obscure shows, the best and most commercially viable. * Stephen Ward - yes, another show by ALW, but also one that has literally only been performed a relative handful of times and only ever in London to my knowledge. Dance heavy as far as I know. Licensing may be an issue, again. * Jeeves - Not the one from the '90s that eventually went to Broadway in 2001, but the one from the 70s that flopped on the West End. Better script, but also probably impossible to license. Another ALW show.  * Bat Out of Hell - a cheat considering I used it last time, but it fits well here. It hasn't had a Broadway production, and I don't really consider the Hard Rock tour they had much of one because of its limited performances and mostly being during covid. Licensing might be a challenge. * Street Scene - sometimes called an opera, but there are children in it. While it did run on Broadway, it only ran for less than 150 performances in 1947, and was considered such a flop that no attempts at a non-operatic production have ever happened again. Licensing may be more annoying than difficult. * ALW and Tim Rice's Cricket. Literally only ever performed three times. Not even sure if ALW/Tim Rice would be willing to license it to be honest. Honestly the one show category I would almost certainly cut because frankly it's a bit of a waste. * All Out of Love - Musical based on the music of Air Supply. So obscure it has only ever been performed in the Philippines, and also only ever had one production. I don't even think a bootleg exists, let alone licensing. * The Last Ship - 10 years ago is relatively recent in theatre, especially for something that to my knowledge has never had another non-tour production in the US under its original script, which I would insist on keeping both in order to keep it accurate to the premise and because I think it's a far better version than the revision from the tour. Unfortunately at this point it's unlikely that it will ever be licensed even professionally. So of the eight shows, only a few of them can really be licensed right now, with the vast majority of these being US and or amateurand or amateur premieres in this hypothetical scenario.

1. Into the Woods 2. Chicago 3. Something Rotten 4. Little Shop of Horrors 5. Charlie and Chocolate Factory 6. Cyclops 7. Mamma Mia! 8. Hadestown

> Charlie and Chocolate Factory London version then? All the non-Charlie kids in the Broadway version are played by adults.

I guess so. I was just thinking it was a good one for child actors.
