The plot
Based on the Disney film, High School Musical tells the story of two high school students Troy Bolton, the popular high school basketball star, and Gabriella Montez, a shy bookworm, who discover their shared passion for singing – and then try out for lead parts in their high school musical. Their friends do everything they can to stop this happening. The ‘jocks’ and the ‘brainiacs’ hatch plots to keep Troy and Gabriella from sharing the stage and mayhem and misunderstandings abound.
High School Musical is all about popularity, first love and balancing education with fun, and the value of family and friends.

Hayley had to do four auditions for the understudy role and she will make her
debut in the ensemble on June 28 . The show runs for ten weeks. Hailey said:
“I had to sing in front of 10 American producers who had the last word – it was nerve racking. All my friends had heard back but I hadn’t so I thought I hadn’t got through, so I came home.”
