Yup, when I was in HS, admittedly in the late fifties (Class of 61) we 
did, one per year, Carousel, Oklahoma!, The King and I, Annie Get Your 
Gun.  A few years later, I played the wizard (in drag, of course) when 
my daughter was Dorothy, in The Wizard of Oz.  Last year, Community 
Theatre did Annie (the other Annie): my granddaughter was in it. etc. 
You might actually know the boy who shaved his head, Yul Brynner style, 
for the King of Siam -- he grew up to sing Opera, and moved to 
Pennsylvania, Mike Riley.
