Having seen many a grade school version of Bway shows, ALL shows that want to have a life after Bway need to do this. School productions are extraordinarily lucrative.

The authors tone down the language and cut the dialogue so the shows don't run more than an hour (thankfully!). Character development goes out the window, but at least grade school kids get to perform.

There are tons of schools out there that just don’t have the time or resources to do a 2+ hour musical. While I obviously prefer the full length version in nearly every case (Seussical, being an exception – I think the 70 minute version is far better) these really expand the reach of theater in many circumstances.
