Bookings have officially opened at Computicket for the P.E. Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s production of High School Musical at the PE Opera House in July/August 2010.

High School Musical has taken the world by storm and tells a classic teenage love story set against the age old school yard conflicts between the basketball jocks, the science club brainiacs and the drama club divas at East High.  This vibrant show is brought to life by a multi-award winning creative team headed by Robin Williams as Director.  Garth Tavares is Musical Director and Candice Johnstone choreographs the energetic dance sequences. 

The hot, young, local cast stars Jason Humm as Troy Bolton and Tiffany Oosthuizen as Gabriella Montez.  Tiffany makes her G&S debut as the sweet and super intelligent Gabriella whilst Jason is well known to audiences after his roles in Showtime and My Fair Lady.  Viewers of the M-Net reality show “High School Musical: Spotlight on South Africa” will remember Jason’s plucky performance as he made it through several rounds of the series despite having a broken ankle. 

These two are ably supported by Jaydee Mulder and Kaylan Sabbadin as  Ryan and Sharpay Evans, the resident stars of the school stage.  Other roles are played by Gabby Oosthuizen as Taylor,  Masinga Rune as Chad, Damien Anderson as Jack Scott, Rose Cowpar as Ms Darbus , Joe Erasmus as Coach, Rebecca Hartle as Kelsi , Cameron Robertson as Rippa , Joel Tommy as Zeke and Rebecca Wood as the Hip-Hop loving Martha.

            High School Musical opens Wednesday 28th July and runs until Saturday 14th August with performances nightly at 19h00 from Tuesday through to Saturday and matinees each Saturday at 14h00.   Tickets are available from www.computicket.com or from any Computicket branch at R120.  Vouchers are available from all cast members at the discounted price of R100.
