So for my theater company they are suggesting that we reccomend shows for the middle school and high school show. At the end of the year they do a show with 5th-12th graders and it is usually a show with younger kid characters and older characters. The shows we have done in the past 8 years that we can't repeat are: once on this island, les mis, into the woods, shrek, how to suceed in buisness without really trying, mary poppins, and chitty chitty bang bang. They want to do something expanable that has a good ensemble and we are not the best dancers so not crazy hard dancing. They already applied for the rights of sound of music and it got rejected, we also asked about fiddler on the roof and secret garden and they said no. Any suggestions would be great!
Annie is a really fun show to do with a good age range. If you're feeling whimsical you could also try Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or Suessical. James and the Giant Peach, Beauty and the Beast, and Alice in Wonderland are fun shows with a lot of interesting character roles. The Little Mermaid is also fun. (Put your mermaids on heelys!) I'm guessing you don't have the budget to fly your actors, but if you do, maybe try Peter Pan?
Other random suggestions: Anne of Green Gables, Honk, Godspell, Tarzan, The Jungle Book, A Little Princess.
If none of these work, just look here until you find something you like.
