Disney's High School Musical Stage Adaptation Audition

No one can probably disprove the fact that High School Musical, a Disney Channel Original Movie, is one of the biggest hits here in Manila today. Most of the kids are singing the songs like Breaking Free ("Soarin' Flyin'...) and We're All in This Together.

From my son's Grade 4 class to my daughter's Kinder 1 classmates - they all know the songs!

Given the extreme popularity of the movie and the songs, there will be a stage adaptation which will show at the SM Megamall Theater in February 2007. On November 25, 2006, there will be auditions for lead and ensemble roles at the 3rd Floor, Gonzaga Fine Arts Theater (G306), Gonzaga Building, Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, from 9am to 5pm.

Who may audition? Applicants must be 13 years old and above and must be able to dance, sing, and act. Those auditioning must prepare two Broadway songs and must bring a 2x2 photo. For inquiries and other details, you may call +63 915 889 4779.

The creative team behind the production is headed by director Chari Arespacochaga. She has previously directed productions like Doubt and Footloose! The Musical. This new production will be presented by Blue Repertory.
