I remember this play from when I performed it in 3rd grade back in 2003 and now I have the honor of sharing it with students of my own! What a treat! The only thing I would change is modernizing with the times- we need MP3 digital downloads. Although when I showed my students the CD, they thought I was from the era of Lewis and Clark myself! Some of the original keys were too high for my children’s voices, so modernizing the tracks will help with transposition!

The play is eminently do-able and has entertaining music. We changed a little bit of the dialogue where it was just too cheesy, and we dropped two of the songs to keep it under 45 minutes in length. Our parents LOVED it, and our 1st through 7th graders all had fun. We used the accompaniment CD instead of having a musician play along, and it worked perfectly fine.
