Hey all,

I have been looking for a musical to do with my school kids -- the story isn't the most important since we can edit that, but the music is! We're looking for something with fun tunes that 2nd and 3rd graders can enjoy but that the 7th and 8th graders won't roll their eyes out. So many children's musicals are just that -- they're for children.

Any good alternative rock-sounding shows out there that you know of? We want a split-track CD.

I did Michael W Smith's "Livin' on the Edge" way back when, but I think that music style is a little dated for our kids today.

ANY resources or contacts you can provide would be super appreciated, I've been looking for weeks and have come up empty.

I really hope this helps it sounds like it may be what you are looking for! I do a kid's TV show and they have a label where the artists all released 5-5 albums where the first 5 songs are them and the next are karaoke/sing-a-long tracks. There is Mission Six (rock), The Rubyz (pop), Jasmine (pop/soul) and Luke Benward (pop rock) that have the 5-5 CDs. Homepage is the website and if you click "artists" you can click on each of those artists websites and hear the songs. They have great sales going on too, just check out Homepage and click "store"
