Specially adapted from Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical, Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2,
JR. includes all your favorite infectious, danceable songs like “You Are the Music in Me,” “Fabulous” and “What Time Is It”. We’re all in this together… again! Join us for another adventure with everyone’s favorite Wildcats. On the last day of junior year, Troy, Gabriella and rest of the East High Wildcats can’t wait to get the summer started – they’re ready for summer jobs, money for college and to have fun. To that end, Troy gets them all jobs at Lava Springs Country Club – which happens to be owned by popular girl, Sharpay’s, father! While Sharpay schemes to steal Troy’s heart from Gabriella, her brother, Ryan, hopes to win the Star Dazzle Award. Everything comes to a head at the talent show, where the group has to remember their motto: “All for one, and one for all.”
Due to a high demand in participation there are two talented casts filled with 60 students between the ages of seven and fourteen who bring to life East High and its characters of Cheerleaders, Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians, Skaters, and Sharpettes. Cast members of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, JR. reside in Wellesley as well as neighboring communities including Newton, Weston, Waban, Auburndale, Needham, Milton, and Concord. Director Hillary Drew says, “It has been fun and exciting to work with such interesting characters once again this time in a completely new setting. WTP students have put in lots of hard work and we are excited to show everyone their
efforts”.
