Most Produced Musicals and Plays 2020/2021
3 Nov
The Educational Theatre Association has unveiled its list of the most produced plays, musicals, and short plays in U.S. high schools during the 2020/2021 school year, the result of a survey that has been conducted annually since 1938.
The Addams Family again leads the musicals list, taking the top spot for the third year in a row ahead of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and The Theory of Relativity, both newly in the top 10. The stage adaptation of the film Clue was the top play after achieving the same in 2019/2020, followed by Almost, Maine and It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. Playwrights Don Zolidis and Jonathan Rand continue to dominate the most-produced short plays, with Rand's Check Please again in the number one spot.
