High School Musical

Disney’s screen-to-stage hit High School Musical comes to the West End. The show features a book by David Simpatico (adapted from the original movie script by Peter Barsocchini), and is directed by Jeff Calhoun.

This contemporary musical comedy is about Troy, a popular high school basketball star, and Gabriella, a shy, academically gifted newcomer who discover they share a secret passion for singing. When they sign up together to audition for the lead roles in the school musical it threatens East High’s rigid social order and sends their peers into uproar. In a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo, the ‘jocks’ the ‘brainiacs’, and even the drama club regulars, are soon hatching convoluted plots to separate the pair and keep them offstage. However, by defying expectations and taking a chance on their dreams, the couple inspires other students to go public with some surprising hidden talents of their own.
