You are right. I don't know much about either one to be honest. I don't know why they just don't add some clothes. Wouldn't that eliminate this problem?
True. I suggested on another post that they just add some more clothes to the costume. That might work for this play. High School is too young to be wearing "underwear".

Not really, the storyline of the play as well as the setting really isn't appropriate for high school.
(HS Boy 1:) Uh, what's, uh, like to understand?
(HS Boy 2:) Yeah, man; ain't it just a bunch'a babes bouncing their boobs & shakin' bootie?
(HS Boy 1:) Like what I said; it's just, uh, like...Art, man! That's it; it's just art!
(HS boy 3:) Can I play a Nazi, can I? Can I? I already have the uniform!
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
It isn't that long a stay....
"Yes, but high school girls are not sex objects."
It would appear that they are, at least so far as this particular government high school is concerned.
And those are the boys!
I must respectfully disagree. I always wore underwear in High School.
The moral do gooders will cancel Cabaret and usher in La Cage aux Folles, go figure.
Same thing happened to Palm Springs. Moral do-gooders were assuaged by the drunken debauchery of college coeds, cancelling Spring Break, only later to usher in Biker and White Weekend for the homosexuals.
This is one of the primary job of government schools. To get kids so wound up sexually that anything goes. That and the "diversity" B.S. People need to start suing the school systems over not teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Yeah... damn moral do gooders. Can you believe how many laws are based on morals. Not allowing rape or murder being just a couple. What's wrong with these morons, right? Stay out of other people's business, right?
Nothing wrong with temperance, but there are lots of folk who exasperate worse sin by appealing to legalism.
BTW, there is probably no group of people who would jump to gossip and do-good moralism than a bunch of jealous high school girls thinking about a peer in a play who might get the attention of a boy they had been thinking about or whose attention they wanted to attract.
IMHO, the kids themselves will do far more to enforce morality than anything code enforced upon them. Granted it doesn't hurt to have laws and codes to prevent criminal behavior from being condoned.
"The musical numbers themselves are priceless – bold, raunchy and packed with sex appeal," Williamson had told the newspaper's entertainment writer, Julie Drake.
It seems to have escaped this gang that Cabaret is a metaphor for the encroaching Nazism of the late 1930's early 40's. If they think the play is all about T&A, they have missed the point entirely.
there isn't a such thing as an "appropriate" high school play any more. the play we chose in HS (west side story) got denied approval becaus it was deemed racist, then the replacement play we chose (grease) was denied because there weren't enough parts available for black people.
gotta love PC.
When I was in high school we performed, "Bye Bye Birdie," "My Fair Lady," "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," "Li'l Abner," "The King and I"
