WEST ORANGE, NJ - The West Orange High School Spring Musical "The Shows Must Go On" is a not-to-be-missed event featuring songs previously performed over the past two decades of musical theater. The Oskar Schindler Performing Arts Center at 4 Boland Drive is opening their 2021 season with the debut of the WOHS musical.
The show opens with senior Justin Peters, who serves as narrator, performing an impressive rendition of "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" from "The Pirates of Penzance." He sets the bar high for the rest of the performers, and they do not disappoint, belting out ballads, rap, rock, and upbeat tunes along with lilting and lively dance numbers.
The ensemble cast performs songs from a wide swath of musical theater, including "West Side Story," "The Pajama Game," "Miss Saigon," "The Little Mermaid," "In the Heights," "The Wiz," "The Little Mermaid," "Rent," "Mamma Mia," "Cabaret," "Beauty and the Beast," and so much more.
The show closes with a number from "The Drowsy Chaperone," the high school's 2020 musical canceled due to the pandemic.
