Unfiltered Story #282401

My high school is beginning work on a production of one of my favorite musicals. We’re having a sing-along before auditions. Because this is a religious school, we understand that the original script and lyrics are going to be scrubbed a little for bad language, but most of it isn’t that bad and we’ve all heard worse. One of the directors is playing an electronic keyboard.

Us: *singing* “Once we’ve begun, as we stand as one, someday becomes somehow! And a prayer becomes a vow!”

Director: *stops playing piano*

Three students: *still singing* “AND THE STRIKE STARTS RIGHT DAAAAAA—”

Director: “THAT’S OKAY! THAT’S ENOUGH!”

The end result had enough changed lines and lyrics to frustrate a number of us, but at least those three fought for their right to some very minor cursing!
