Anyone ever heard of the movie (or like a stage play/musical) called "High Tops" ?? It was a high school with an angel and a devil...don't remember much else.

Thanks.

Yes. I had it on VHS and it was the best. The devil comes down to tempt high school students and so two angels come down to balance his evil tempting. They sing songs such as "Fads", "Don't talk about the consequence", "stop, go back, stop". All the kids in school want to join the choir and wear high tops as a sign of living a higher life. One girl doesn't get accepted to the band (the bad girl) and the devil tempts her to cheat and lie and take drugs. The nice girl (heather) is dating a jock and he tries to have sex with her but she says NO. And a nerd falls in love with the angel girl. It takes place in this weird looking set.

Any chance you could tell me where I might be able to get a copy?

ive got a copy of it. I watched the heck out of it when i was a kid, one of my friends found it in an old box of vhs tapes and transferred it to dvd. Its on my ipod now......

I'm glad I didn't imagine it. So anyone figured out where you might find a place to buy it or is it too obscure?

This musical was written and produced by Ernie and Debbie Retino. I have the soundtrack on a cassette tape, but i would love to have a dvd of the musical. I've tried contacting Maranatha Music - but it is not being made anymore. I would love a copy as well if anyone knows where to find one!

Maranatha like the Maranatha that did Salta (I think)?

You mean Psalty? That singing song book? yup
At least it says Maranatha on the cassette tape i have of the soundtrack.
