A high school in my area recently did "Follies," too, and I was bummed to miss it. I'm skeptical but curious. Parenthetically, I've always wondered how "Merrily We Roll Along" would work cast the opposite way of the original. I've seen it with sort of down-the-middle casting but it seems like older actors performing the early (late) scenes of youth and promise-that-we-know-will-sour would be especially poignant.

What you suggest is what the concept of the original Kaufman and Hart play was in 1935. With a cast of 91! The majority of principals were mid 30s to mid 40s ....
