Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Good musicals for Mostly middle schoolers

Message

   I have 7-8 strong middle school performers and a handful of newer kids in my musical theater class this year.  I am looking for a musical with good quality music (prefer performance CD) that is appropriate for some really strong performers and some weaker ones sprinkled in. 

  We did Seussical last year with some younger kids included.  It was a huge success and I am having a hard time finding a musical that is as good.   I am finding it challenging to find a quality middle school production with a small cast...

Thanks for your help!

	How about "You're a Good man Charlie Brown"? I've seen a good middle school production of it. There are oportunities to sprinkle in some extras at different parts.

	What's the mix of male and female? (There's Big Shot, but it's very male dominated.)
