what is a good show that a school aged group can do that is not too long, a small to medium sized cast, easy to learn, enjoyable and easy to access?

suggestions so far:

-godspell
-joseph and the amzaing......
-youre a good man charlie brown

You could also try "Annie" or "Oliver!" (girls dressed as boys works well if you have the usual imbalance). If they're in high school then you might also be able to get away with "Grease" or "A Slice of Saturday Night" depending on whether you think some of the content is a little too adult. "Slice" really only needs a four-piece rock band and as some leads play two roles, you can split them up between others to give more people a go. At high school I also did "West Side Story" and we used scaffolding as the sets which looked great for the street scenes. "Fame - The Musical" is also a good option. A friend of mine has just done "Man of Steel" with her high school kids too.

Hope this helps!
