The productions that are chosen to go to the national AACT competition are usually plays, not musicals. One exception to this was "Pinocchio," a children's musical from Spokane Children's Theatre.
Region IX is represented in AACT Fest '07 by Civic's Assassins, as reported earlier. The only other musical in the competition is from Region IV. The Manatee Players of Bradenton, Florida present a scaled-down Sweeney Todd.
That's right, the only two musicals in competition are both dark Sondheim musicals about murders.
