Show Reviews

Our high school performed this several years ago. Just because it says upper elementary and middle school doesnt mean older students cant have a great time with it. Since it was shorter in length, it was perfect for a school where students are involved in several extracurricular activities. I highly recommend it because it was great songs with a funny and entertaining script.
