Best Musicals for High School
High schools love Pioneer Drama’s musicals, which all come with both instrumental and vocal tracks! They are fresh, original, and far easier on your budget than the big name shows that everyone has already seen! All our prices and royalty fees are published upfront and performance rights are automatically granted with any production order, making it quite simple to get started. Our musicals range from 45 minutes to two hours and include comedies, mysteries, literary adaptations, and Christmas shows. In addition to staged performances, livestream and recording rights are available for every single musical! The sets and costumes in most of our shows are designed to be as simple or as complex as your budget allows, and we encourage you to enhance your production with projections, as well. Our musicals offer flexible cast sizes with room for a large chorus, and we allow you to change the gender of most characters. At Pioneer, we make it easy to find the perfect musical to fit your cast!These are the 20 most popular musicals for high schools from Pioneer Drama Service
