JUST ANOTHER H.S. MUSICAL
Just Another High School Musical
Book by Bryan Starchman
Music by Stephen Murray
Lyrics by Bryan Starchman and Stephen Murray
Widely flexible cast 10 – 40, plus drama teacher
Script: 72 pages
A group of high school actors, abandoned by their drama teacher for good reason, have to fend for themselves opening night in front of a live audience. Their first song, “We Apologize in Advance,” shows just how unprepared they are! The student assistant director and the stage manager find a box of scripts which they pass out to the cast, and try to throw something together. What follows is a rollicking show full of physical comedy, gags, and satirical re-writings from Shakespeare (“Life Is Like a Snow Globe”) to Louisa May Alcott (“Dress Them Up in Drag”). Even melodrama gets a nod with a boisterous, under-a-minute-long song. But it doesn’t help. In desperation they sing the song “Intermission” with the lyrics, “This means our show is more than halfway done. Maybe Act Two will be better than Act One.” In Act Two (“Back Down to Business”), the actors put their own spin on Dickens (“A Christmas Carol Rap”) and Thornton Wilder (“Our Town, This Town”). Finally, they perform their “Gratuitous Number.” Will it be enough to rescue this disaster before their teacher returns—if he ever does? A final number, “A Spotlight Big Enough for All,” closes the show on a comically uplifting note!

CUSTOMER COMMENTS:
"Bryan Starchman does it again! Audience members told me that they laughed so hard they cried. The cast and crew had a lot of fun rehearsing and performing this musical. And, Bravo to Stephen Murray for a delightful score! The changing musical styles kept the cast engaged. Let's hope we see more musicals from this very creative team!" - K.C.
