Tickets for Castle Vale School’s production of High School Musical are selling fast. Performances are set for 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th November, starting at 7pm. The last night has already completely sold out.
High School Musical is best known as a Disney film, first released in January 2006, and so popular that its sequel (High School Musical 2) was brought out just 19 months later, in August 2007. It’s an American teenage romance story along the Romeo and Juliet/West Side Story lines.
The show’s director, Trevor Evans, says that the licence to perform this play has only been available in the UK for four months. The School had to pay £600 for the material for rehearsals. 17% of the school’s box-office takings will go in royalties to the copyright holder (Disney Corporation).
