"The musical numbers themselves are priceless – bold, raunchy and packed with sex appeal," Williamson had told the newspaper's entertainment writer, Julie Drake.

Yes, but high school girls are not sex objects.

Good thing they didn't put on "Some Like It Hot/Sugar" !!

Is it accurate in the movie? Are they playing every detail of the movie? I do believe the movie did have them dressing like that. I did not see it but you could tell from the commercials. Nobody complained about the movie and it won awards so maybe this is accurate.

They are to high school boys.....

The point is that these are teenage girls, not adults. Plenty of movies have won awards, but that doesn't mean that they are appropriate for teens.

Good point!

[nevergore]

Of course...almost everything and everyone is a "sex object" to a high school boy....

[I still care]

I remember when they had a Caberet number in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. (they usually have bits of current musicals, one of the most enjoyable parts for me).

They chose one of the nastiest parts, with revealing and sexual costumes. It was so inappropriate. My lib brother told me to get into the 21st century, but I couldn't believe my eyes.

Their parents must know and have given their approval. I wonder if some of the girls' fathers might be embarressed when they see their daughters onstage dressed in less and performing "differently" than they might've expected. ;-)

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL PING!

The parents themselves probably approve. But, here's a ping, anyway.

"The point is that these are teenage girls, not adults."

How about at teen-age 18? Legal for voting and military service.

"The main word here is appropriate. … I do not feel that the wardrobe is appropriate for high school. I feel that the content of the play is adult in nature and not appropriate for high school students," Winn said.

At what age is raunchy acceptable? Why? When does one mean raunchy when using the word adult, not be confused with mature? A prerequisite to performing in these plays to understand inclusion should be to adhere to a political philosophy held by rabid feminists. Same with Playboy Bunnies.

Sounds like cheerleaders at most HS Football games. Better throw some pants on the pom pom girls and outlaw dancing while they're at it.

Imagine dad and daughter when they meet in the striptease house.

Since when?

[samiam1972]

Why can't they just do a more age appropriate play? Since it was a combined effort between the college and the highschool, it should have been geared to the younger, not the older. It is a pity. It's possible to showcase talent in a respectable manor. Why is this so hard to comprehend?
