[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine; high school musicals don’t all have to be sanitized.

Grease is a mainstay in high school musicals. The most famous song (“Summer Nights”) has a lyric about whether or not Sandy “[b]put up a fight[/b]” in the backseat. A side plot is about Rizzo thinking she might be pregnant.

Even Oklahoma isn’t all wine and roses. Curly sings a song to Jud in which he essentially suggests that Jud commits suicide. Ado Annie is “Just a Girl Who Cain’t say No.”

And on and on...[/quote]

[b]I remember when we did this musical at my HS the lyrics were changed to something like "was it a magical night?" instead of "did she put up a fight?"

The school did Rent the year before I started there, but I remember seeing it with a friend and instead of HIV/AIDS, it was changed to diabetes.  My niece's HS in MA did Rent two years ago and made no changes.

They seem to do less changing these days.[/b]  [/quote]

Exactly. Lots of times with HS plays they change some of the more inappropriate parts.  I was actually curious to see if they would do something like this to Mamma Mia, although I didn't really see how it could be done. [/quote]
