Bolton played by Joshua Randall and the “jock” basketball team, perform a
standout ball-bouncing routine)
Fresh from its sell-out performances in
Johannesburg to “wild” reviews, High
School Musical – the stage production of Disney’s smash-hit film of the
same name – will soon be in Durban at the Playhouse Theatre, and it’s time to
get your ‘head in the game’!
The musical production is a fun, teenage
love story featuring basketball “jock” Troy Bolton and “brainiac” Gabriella
Montez who meet on vacation at a ski resort while singing in a karaoke
competition.
When the two end up at the same High
School, they must navigate the expectations of their friends, teachers and
parents while exploring their love of singing, and each other! Can they
out-perform thespian stalwarts and leads of the drama club, Sharpay and Ryan,
to become the stars of their high school’s musical, while not letting everyone
down around them?
This will be the 37th production for
acclaimed producer/director Nick Jourdan, who has been responsible for bringing
The Adams Family, Spamalot and last
year’s smash-hit show Sister Act to
the Playhouse Theatre, to name a few.
(The
gang - Ryan, Sharpay, Gabriella, Troy, Taylor and Chad - played by Tristan
Mortimer, Tyla Puzey, Shannon Howard, Joshua Randall, Pride Mncube and Gabriel
Solomons)
Jourdan has also been responsible for
developing talent such as Singer-Songwriter Connell Cruise, who recently landed
a US record deal; Carmen Pretorius and Samantha Peo, the two leads in the
recent international touring production of Chicago
and Jonathan Roxmouth, who currently plays the Phantom in the international
production of The Phantom of the Opera.
The young cast and crew of High School Musical boast a superior
level of talent and deliver a ball-bouncing, toe-tapping, heart-warming
performance that will entertain audiences of all ages.
The production leads, Shannon Howard (as
Gabriella Montez) and Joshua Randall (as Troy Bolton), head up this stellar
cast which comes complete with interfering friends, presidents of the drama
club, an over-the-top drama teacher, a stern basketball coach and an exciting, show stopping, basketball
routine.
Don’t miss this feel-good experience and
the chance to support this cast who have worked long and tirelessly to bring
Durban audiences a professional and delightful show!
