[@Ghostinthesheets]

2:06 No, the funniest musical to do in middle school is the Addams Family young @ part because Wednesday has to call her father Gomez "daddy" a lot, which made everyone laugh everytime she said it. And there is a part in the show where pugsley is getting torcherd by Wednesday, and later in the show he askes Wednesday "so your still going to torcher me?" and Wednesday goes "sure, until you get a girl of your own" which if you were older you laugh but leave the younger kids confused.

[@DRAMATICJELLYBEAN]

Oh my god… My middle school is doing Addams Family when the school year starts in August… I’m excited.

[@Ghostinthesheets]

@@DRAMATICJELLYBEAN yooooooo i did it last year in 8th grade it was really fun

[@DRAMATICJELLYBEAN]

Oh my god… just found this again. We performed a few months ago and I was cast as pugsley(!!!!!!) And it wasn’t the Wednesday calling Gomez “daddy” (although the girl who played Wednesday kept giggling during practice when she had to say that) but what was worse for me specifically is the bed time story scene when I had to call Mortica “Mommy”. I ended up not saying it for two of the times and it wasn’t noticeable but yeah, the torture line in the show also got quite a few laughs. Had so much fun playing him! Was a wonderful show and made me laugh seeing this comment again. :)

[@koreaneonni3606]

If you guys ever do the shake my hand in character especially in a school production either don’t make it obvious or get everyone in the cast because being the background character when I was in high school and seeing the seniors do this hurt because I wanted to be part of something so bad. Also the band teacher’s daughter got the lead so there’s no way that wasn’t rigged. (I was friends with his other daughter and I went to her house and he even said it)

[@irisnottheeye]

FR!! In my schools musical this year i was literally in the crowd while they were doing these sorta things and was like "make sure i go :))" and one of my friends even planned something for me (we were doing the passing the phone thingy) yet they still ignored me just because i wasnt a main part

[@elliefowler2508]

When I was a rising freshman in high school I went to a week-long theater camp at UNCSA (I live like 7 minutes away from there) and we learned the dance for Revolting Children and we learned "you will be found." That was actually the first time I learned about Dear Evan Hansen and the first song from that one that I had ever listened to, and then almost a year and a half later, my sister and I convinced our parents to let us go see it on tour!
