Oct 06, 2007 at Cobb Great Hall
Running Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

It burst onto the cultural landscape as a smash hit movie musical on The Disney Channel. Now, get ready for “the start of something new!” Disney Theatrical Productions, the producers of THE LION KING and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, have created a thrilling stage version of the phenomenal HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. It’s the irresistible story of two teenagers – Troy Bolton, super-popular captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez, super-smart transfer student and a genius in science class – who try to navigate the tricky currents of peer pressure to follow their dream and score the leads in the big school show. All the characters from the movie, every single song that propelled the soundtrack to the top of the Billboard charts – plus two new songs written especially for the stage – make HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL a top-drawer Disney production, and a must-see for every fan of the film and every theatre-goer. So “getcha head in the game!” And get ready for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. Live on stage at Wharton Center.
