Most Likely To:
The Senior Superlative Musical
It’s The Glees vs. The Goths; The Drama Queens vs. The Jocks!
5 Performances Only - July 18th-28th
Tickets: $15.-$18. / www.midtownfestival.org
MOST LIKELY TO sets the Glee’s vs. the Goths; the Drama Queens vs. the Jocks, in a Senior Superlative Showdown, presenting the true-to-life musings of high school students labeled "Most likely to …" by classmates! MOST LIKELY TO employs a senior superlative ceremony as its unifying arc in showcasing the seriocomic musings of students labeled everything from Most Popular to Class Clown.
Composer and writer, Michael Tester states, "With many theatre programs requiring prospective students to prepare age-appropriate pieces, and most public school administrations wary of the very material their pupils have a passion for, young artists are often caught between the First Amendment and The Drama Police, Most Likely To seeks to bridge that gap with a playful musical for the teenager in all of us.”
