Disney's High School Musical at The Lowry 11th to 23rd May

The biggest Disney phenomenon of the decade alights at The Lowry this spring.

Disney's High School Musical tells the story of the unlikely friendship between two students at East High: Troy, a popular all-American basketball star, and Gabriella, a shy but beautiful newcomer who is more at home with chemistry than cheerleaders. They share a secret love of singing – but their decision to sing together at the East High talent show turns their life, and their school, upside down!

When the Disney Channel first showed the made-for-TV film in 2006, they could not have foreseen how popular High School Musical would be. It has now become the best selling Disney soundtrack and the fastest selling TV movie of all time, won Emmy and Billboard Music awards for its soundtrack, spawned a franchise of sequels, stage plays and ice shows and kick-started a merchandising empire that spans the world.

Now touring the UK, this stage version of the hit film is the best in the business. Directed by top Broadway director Jeff Calhoun (Grease, Big River) and featuring favourite songs like Breaking Free and We're All In This Together as well as two brand new songs, it is the perfect show if you want to open your child's eyes to the magic of the theatre.
