I understand and appreciate the fact that the JR. lines go from easy to hard. But, this one is exceptionally hard. I guess it's really my own fault for not ordering a perusal score first. I have done many of your shows in the past, and I guess I assumed this title would be suitable for upper elementary/Jr high school. But I was wrong. This edition is very close to the original. To much in fact I think. I really thought about using the CD, but then that meant I would have to use all of the music on the CD. Which would have meant choreographing TO the CD. The incidental music it oddly long in the score you have produced. Thus, by using the CD, one cannot have any cuts! So I had to use the PV score. The "Dingle-Hopper" song in particular is extremely hard to pull off. It's in 6/8 and moves at a very fast clip and ends in the key of B. I am an experienced pianist, but I had to edit, edit, edit. And it's range is high AND low. My Scuttle was a great actor and pretty good singer, but struggled with this song. "Frown" I'm really not trying to sow sour grapes here; I just really wished this show was what it presents itself to be - a true JR. show. And sadly, it's not.
