“We are excited to announce that the World Professional Premiere of Disney’s High School Musical is set to take place in Atlanta,”states Christopher B. Manos, Producer
of Atlanta’s Theater of the Stars. This new full length stage musical is based on the smash hit Disney Channel original movie “High School Musical.”
We are thrilled to be one of a handful of regional theaters which were chosen by Disney Theatricals to produce this marvelous new musical sensation. We’ll present the show at the Fabulous Fox Theatre for sixteen performances from January 12-28, 2007.
Disney’s High School Musical tells the story of a group of high school students who are struggling with issues of popularity, first love, balancing education with extra curricular activities, and the value of friends and family. With positive themes like the importance of expressing yourself, believing in yourself and following your dreams, this new family-friendly musical is sure to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
Disney’s High School Musical has broken records in television viewership and in CD and online sales. The first broadcast on January 20, 2006 garnered more than 7.7 million viewers in 5 million households. Within 24 hours the show’s web site received more
than 500,000 hits with visitors downloading lyrics to the song “Breaking Free”.
The soundtrack climbed to #1 on the Billboard Charts in March and the single “Breaking Free” has since been certified platinum, along with five other songs on the soundtrack going gold. Tickets for Disney’s High School Musical are on sale now!
Gabriella Montez is a shy, studious new student at East High School;
but that all changes when she is forced to sing at a karaoke contest
with Troy Bolton, the captain of the school's basketball team.
After spending time with each other, both realize they share a passionate
love for music and singing. But will they retain this love when their
school is telling them they cannot be together?
Summary written bySchizophrenicRingwraith
Two high school students who are worlds apart -- the school's hoops
star and the president of the science club -- secretly decide to audition for
their school's musical, a decision that turns both their world and their school
upside down.
Summary written by DisneyHSMfan
On New Year's Eve, Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez meet and discover
their mutual love for music. Later, they discover they attend the same high
school and Troy is the star of the basketball team while Gabriella is in with
the academic team.
When Troy and Gabriella win a callback for the school musical, teen
drama queen Sharpay Evans is pissed. She and her brother Ryan have been
the lead in 17 school plays. But when the basketball team and the academic
group hear of Troy and Gabriella's callback, they join forces to split them up.
When they discover it's caused far too much upset, they admit their jerkiness to
Troy and Gabriella. Then the day of the callbacks, the championship basketball
game, and the scholastic decathalon comes (all thanks to Sharpay for
demanding a reschedule for the callbacks), Gabriella forgives Troy and they
sing "Breaking Free" and win the lead, also to East High winning the championship basketball game.
