I’m kind of surprised that b&b junior wasn’t on the list it’s truly a beautiful production (if pulled off right) I can understand that all of the costumes would be more expensive with the bigger costumes like madame, cogsworth, and mrs pots. My school recently did the regular one of it and it was amazing!

B&B is an AMAZING show (actually my first ever show that I performed in!), but I agree, the costumes can be incredibly costly.

The only technical issue with frozen is doing her dress change

Agreed! That one can be a challenge. My favorite variation of this has been when they use the snowflake/magic dancers to help with the transformation :)

@@Coopsartsandmore. I’ve done frozen twice. The first time, I was Elsa. The second time, I was snow chorus. The first time I did it, the lights went off and two tech crew members pulled the dress off of me (it was unhooked in the back). The other dress was underneath it. The second time I did it, the four members of snow chorus had fans they used throughout the entire song. The snow chorus walked in front of Elsa and danced.

Newsies Jr is such a blast of a show, I just played Katherine. ait was my last ever Jr show and it was absolutely amazing to end it by playing my dream role. It is true that you need very strong talent and luckily we had a lot of that. The only problem that I personally had was the complete cut of Jack and Katherine's romance. I do underatand that Jr shows don't do stage kisses, but I think that Something to Believe in is such a gorgeous song and shows off a lot of talent. But other than that such a fun show. I loved the addition of newsies made specifically for girls as well.

I have some issues with Matilda jr, it’s plot is very rough with a lot of holes in it. The broadway version is based on the old movie, but the jr version is based on the book. But it still tries to take plot from the movie.

I actually really enjoy the Jr. version of Into the Woods! The full version can feel too long (in my opinion), so I enjoy that the Jr. version hits the high points and moves along, but both great shows overall ❤

Here are the things I’ve done: Willy Wonka Jr: Augustus Aladdin Jr: Jafar Lion King Jr: Scar Nemo Jr: Bruce Annie Jr: Rooster (double casted) And even after all these parts I still think that my favorite was Augustus, even though it was probably the smallest part, and I just loved being that character in that play because I could make my own choreo at the end.

I feel like mean girls jr is a very good production to do, I was in it! It was the simplest productions I’ve done, it’s put in modern time so the costumes we literally used the ones the cast had at home. The jr version makes me cringe a bit but it’s not inappropriate. And I think it’s an easy production and fun one! And definitely was popular this year

I also played Sharpay in HSM Jr when I was 10, and it was my second ever lead! AND I am auditioning for Newsies Jr. in a couple months!

Into the woods It’s on the list this year I’m playing the witch and my cousin performed Moana in 2022 as Moana which I wish I was in but I wasn’t in middle school yet but one that wasn’t on the list was Anastasia the full version which I performed last year which is not a surprise that it wasn’t on the list but the other ones have been here in my area so this year my friends school is performing adams family and like I said my cousin performed Moana last year my friends school performed shrek junior and before covid happened my school performed Matilda junior and I think another school performed frozen jr
