Jeff Calhoun (Big River) — who originally staged the show at Atlanta's Theatre of the Stars — directs the touring production."
Originally Posted By threeundertwo >>instead of "stick to the status quo" it's "DON'T stick to the status quo">> Nope! The song is intact, and there are two new songs including a very cute one with cell phones. A lot of the dialog has been fleshed out to make more sense. My daughter's school did this show and the adaptation works well on stage.

If it was "don't stick to the status quo" it wouldn't make any sense in the story. It reminds me of when Britney Spears' song "Oops, I Did It Again" would play on Radio Disney but they cut out the lyrics "I'm not that innocent". The music would play with no vocals. Very strange, but I guess they didn't want little girls singing along to that. - kch, <a href="http://moviedearest.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://moviedearest.blogspot.c om/</a>
