Fans of the award-winning Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical will get the chance to see it brought to life at The Lowry from Mon 11 – Sat 23 May 2009. Tickets go on sale this week for the show with everything that made the movie popular, plus much more added fun!
From the producers of hit musicals The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, and co-producer of Mary Poppins, Disney Theatrical Productions, High School Musical follows the much-loved story of the movie, featuring all your favourite characters and songs, together with two brand new numbers performed by the country’s hottest dancers and an electrifying live band.
High School Musical is a contemporary musical comedy 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 to audition together for the lead roles in the school musical it threatens East High's rigid social order and sends their peers into uproar. In an attempt to maintain the status quo, the ‘jocks’ and ‘brainiacs’, and even the drama club regulars, are soon hatching convoluted plans to separate the pair and keep them offstage. Defying expectations and taking a chance on their dreams, and each other, the couple inspire the other students to go public with some surprising hidden talents of their own.
First broadcast in 2006 the Original Disney Channel Movie, soundtrack album, and other High School media have gone on to create a global entertainment phenomenon with children and their families across the world falling in love with the kids from East High. The sequel, High School Musical 2 broke TV viewing records in both the US and UK when it was broadcast in Autumn 2007.
