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.

Characters

  • Troy: Captain of the basketball team
  • Chad: Troy’s basketball buddy
  • Gabriella: She’s a genius at maths and science and she’s new in the school.
  • Taylor: Brainiac extraordinaire and friend of Gabriella
  • Sharpay: Queen of the Drama Club
  • Ryan: Sharpay’s cool jazz loving brother
  • Introducing Hayley Griffiths

    Understudying the female lead, Sharpay, will be Teeside lass Hayley Griffiths. Hayley, 20, is a total newcomer to the West End and graduated from Laine Theatre Arts, Epsom last July. Probably their most famous graduate is Victoria Beckham.
    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.”
