Topic: Well Known Musicals

We've been struggling to think of musicals for our next season. Normally we do a big well known show and thats what brings in the crowds during the summer. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

We have recently done:

Nunsense, Honk!, West Side Story, Funny Girl, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, and Oklahoma

Thanks so Much

I think I'll try Defying Gravity

This is a play with music, not a musical as such! Which might be worth having a look at!
'Man of La Mancha'

What's your distinction, Gaafa, between a "musical" and a "play with music"?

If "Cats" is ever released on DVD ....

... Do you think they'll offer a version in "Litterbox"
format?
