Hairspray JR with Latino & Asian students
Hi there!
My school is doing Hairspray JR this year. We are a diverse urban school and most of the students participating in theatre are Latino or Asian (we have very few students who are white or black that participate in the program). Are there suggestions for how to approach casting when students are non-white but are members of other races that are not African American?

Hairspray with non-diverse cast
Hi!
I know that you have sent emails in the past with information on doing Hairspray with a non-diverse cast and I would greatly appreciate that information. In my case we have a lot of different ethnicities, but few white students and a small amount of native African students. The rest of the student population is Asian and Hispanic. I would love to do this musical if possible.

Similar to everyone else’s about producing this show with a non-diverse cast.
I absolutely love this show & would possibly like to produce it in a non-diverse school. This is the main reason I have not done this show yet. Would it be possible to send the link to my e-mail about how to do this show with a non-diverse cast?
Thank you!

Old Version
Does this mean the original version with "WHY ME?" for Jafar is no longer available? While I love this new script, I did enjoy Jafar's song. I've done Aladdin Jr. twice -- it's a great choice for Middle Schools!
Thanks!
