Vernon Secondary stages High School Musical

VSS’s Theatre on the Hill is about to present Disney Channel’s High School Musical on stage starting Tuesday, May 19.

It’s the musical that made Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale teen stars.

And now Vernon Secondary School’s Theatre on the Hill is about to present Disney Channel’s High School Musical on stage starting Tuesday.

“We have all worked really hard to bring this stage version to life. It features different scenes and more songs than the popular TV movie,” said VSS drama teacher Laurie Anne Lorge.

Filled with catchy pop tunes, written by some big names such as Robbie Nevil (The Start Of Something New, We’re All In This Together), HMS explores what happens when teens dare to break away from their cliques and try something new.

“In typical musical style, this production features several big numbers guaranteed to have you dancing in your seat,” said Lorge.

“I was so excited when I heard we were doing this show,” added VSS student Sam Warner. “It’s such a part of my childhood.”

High School Musical takes the stage at the VSS theatre, Tuesday, May 19 to Saturday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10. A matinée also takes place May 23 at 1 p.m. Tickets are $7.
