High School Musical Returns
Published - Sunday, 14 June, 2009
Disney’s High School Musical continues to spread its magic across the country in its UK theatre tour and will return to Milton Keynes Theatre on 29 June for one week only having delighted full houses in 2008. The spectacular stage production, complete with everyone’s favourite characters and all of the unforgettable songs from the movie, including the UK hit singles Breaking Free and We’re All In This Together, promises to be a night to remember.

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 and most recently, High School Musical 3 opened in cinemas around the world to huge advance sales.

The leading roles of Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez are played by Ashley Day (On The Town, Mary Poppins) and Claire-Marie Hall (Les Miserables, High School Musical Hammersmith Apollo season). Ruling drama queen Sharpay and her faithful brother and sidekick Ryan will be played by Emma Kelly (Mamma Mia) and Lee Honey-Jones.  Theya re joined by a cast of over 30 and live orchestra.
