The audience included members of the Alumni Association, students, parents and faculty. It is somewhat amazing that year after the musical presentations provide such talented students who cannot only sing and dance, but can also act. The end result demonstrates the hours, days and weeks that are involved in rehearsals, set design, costumes, musical arrangements and more. All of this takes a great deal of coordination involving not only the cast, but those that work on all of the facets that are included in preparation for such an offering. There is box office/house crew, costume crew, deck crew, fly crew, publicity crew, scenic painters, set crew and other crews and then there are the orchestral rehearsals. The students who took part in the actual performances were outstanding. The voices were excellent and the choreography was more than entertaining – it was wonderful. There are over 160 students involved in the production and includes the actors, crew members, etc. The musical was directed by Herb Hall, who is now the Chairman of the Performing Arts Department, has directed over 20 musicals and he has appeared in motion pictures and TV and well as TV commercials.
