While coming out in high school today is becoming a less difficult issue for many gay teens, imagine what life would have been like for us all if everyone at school had been gay. In fact, what if everyone in the world – your parents and teachers as well – were happily homosexual and heterosexuality was in the minority? That is the scenario for the award-winning musical ZANNA, DON’T!, being presented as part of Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival.
Starring a cast full of hot young talent, Zanna, Don’t! tells the tale of what happens when the controversial school musical about ‘straights’ in the military draws together a boy and girl who discover they have an attraction for the opposite sex. It’s down to the school matchmaker Zanna to try and make the world safe for them and help his friends overcome their 'heterophobia’.
Zanna, Don’t!’s original 2003 Off-Broadway production was hugely successful and received a 2003 GLAAD Media Award for its “fair, accurate and inclusive representation” of the gay community and issues that affect our lives. The poppy catchy score has a musical style covering the gamut of genres - from high-energy, soul-laden pop tunes, to rich character pieces and soaring ballads.
