Are these as good as the Junior series? Has anyone done one that can tell me about them? I am wondering if they would be good frot he 8-18 age group... or are they a little too simplistic. I think the Junior versions at MTI work for that age group beautifully.

I am wondering about Once Upon a Mattress specifically. I 've only seen and performed it with the full score. I can't find a complete list of G2K songs, but I am wondering if they have "man to man talk" in it. Also... how do they deal with Larkin's pregnancy... assuming it's been cut, but wanted to make sure.

I don't have the answer, but I'm dying to know how they would deal with Larkin's pregnancy if they cut it, since it's the impetus for the entire plot! LOL

We did it when I was in High School... it was an easy fix. We made Larken desperate to get married because she was desperately in love. We also made the Ladies in Waiting extra anxious because they were in love as well. That way, the urgency was just there because Larken was so devoted to Harry. It worked fine and everyone was happy that we were up there touting the premarital sex thing in high school! LOL!
