Iowa HS Drama Teacher’s Fun Musical Reveal Goes Viral [VIDEOS]

Indianola's drama teacher made a fun game out of announcing to his class their big musical performance for the year, and now he's gone viral on TikTok.

According to KCCI, Myles Finn of Indianola took to TikTok in a multi-part "process of elimination" series to tell the kids what musical they would be performing next. From "Mamma Mia!" to "Into the Woods" he narrowed them down one by one until reaching the final title, which would be the chosen selection.

Finn said he wanted to do it this way to make it more engaging for his students.

I would like to show that teaching can be fun," Finn said. "If you're passionate about it, kids will bend over backward for you. Kids will do anything you ask as long as you have fun with what you're doing.

In case you're curious as to what the "winning" selection was and the other choices that didn't make the cut, his series of TikTok videos can be seen in order, below.
