The majority of high school students are involved in the production, either on stage or behind the scenes.
Based on the popular comic strip, the musical and score are written by Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. With popular songs like “Tomorrow” and “NYC,” the musical promises to entertain audiences of all age.
