    This is amazing. But I am also shocked a high school would even approve of this musical (i went to a super prude school), I'm just glad they let you guys perform it.

    Is this a highschool FOR performing arts? Cause... If this is just a regular highschool full of regular highschool students I'm just totally blown away. Even if it's a highschool for performing arts it's still impressive. I just can't see this being just an average highschool. It's just so full of talent! Great job to all involved!

    People are surprised about a high school doing this but there’s an official high school version of it. My school did this show too, it’s surprisingly easy to cut out the more jarring sexual stuff without losing the show’s sense of identity.

      Yes. The show Chicago is meant to be one big vaudeville act, Ms. Sunshine is the drag part of the act, and this number is the ventriloquist act. The whole show is just one big act

  • @ckrause81

    I'm such a critic when it comes to Broadway and find Chicago to much of a challenge for a high school play. That being said, this was really well done. Other than a few things, like the over exaggerated whine to his voice, it was just to much.....it was a really great performance.

    This is a great production for a high school. I was involved in community theater (not musicals though and I was a set designer) in college so I know this is NOT easy. And I like both Billy and Roxie. Billy is interesting in that while the movie version (Richard Gere) was a smooth-talking handsome man, this takes the somewhat opposite tact in that Billy comes off less "worldly" on the surface. However, sometimes the most devious people are just that - you underestimate them and what they're capable of. Hence, "Razzle Dazzle.- not necessarily glamour but distraction from what's really going on.

    Much better than Billy's other two numbers, which were painfully slow compared to the songs and acts from both the movie and plays. And before you say "Oh, it's a Highschool production!" Let me ask: what fucking highschool has this much money? That's beside the point. It's a definite upgrade from the other two.
