HIGH School Musical is returning to the city next year for a

week long run at the Royal Concert Hall.

The stage musical based on The Disney Channel movie comes to

the venue from May 4 to 9 2009.

Tickets went on sale Thursday August 28.

High School Musical is a contemporary musical comedy about

Troy, a popular high school basketball star, and Gabriella, a

shy, academically gifted newcomer, who discover they share a

secret passion for singing.

When they sign up to audition together for the lead roles in

the school musical it threatens East High's established pecking

order and sends their cliques into uproar.

In an attempt to maintain the status quo, the 'jocks' and

'brainiacs', and even the drama club regulars, are soon

hatching crazy plans to separate the pair and keep them

offstage. Defying expectations and taking a chance on their

dreams, and each other, the couple inspire the other students

to go public with some surprising hidden talents of their

own.

First broadcast in 2006 the Original Disney Channel Movie,

soundtrack album, and other High School media have gone on to

create a global entertainment phenomenon with children and

their families across the world falling in love with the kids

from East High.

£32.50) call 0115 989 5555 and
