Music Theatre Louisville Presents Disney’s High School Musical
Stars of Disney’s High School Musical Movie
One of the hottest kids movies to be released in the last few years was Disney’s High School Musical. It is your typical high school story of finding your own way despite peer pressure, set to catchy songs and dancing. However, the Disney Channel movie took off in popularity and the DVD and CD’s sales have been setting sales records.
In case you and your kids had not seen enough of this movie, Louisville’s own Music Theatre Louisville is currently performing the staged version. Disney’s High School Musical opened last Friday night to 1700 fans. Ticket sales for the whole event exceed 11,000 before the first show opened, and MTL hopes that this performance will break their own ticket sales records.
The majority of the actors in this play are teenagers that auditioned from over twenty-three area high schools. They have rehearsed and are prepared to present a great show even in this hot weather. New Albany High School also produced the show last November to rave reviews.
Music Theatre Louisville produces five shows a year at the Iroquois Amphitheatre, which was completely renovated in 2003. MTL is in its 26th season and produces a range of Broadway musicals during the summer, has site based programming during the school year, and offers three musical theatres camps throughout the year. MTL has also just recently merged with Stage One and the Louisville Theatrical Association, who presents PNC Broadway Across America.
MTL has already produced Frog and Toad, Hello Dolly, and 42nd Street. The last performance after Disney’s High School Musical will be Oliver on September 7-9, 12-16, 2007.
MTL has just added extra shows for Disney’s High School Musical so you still have a chance to go if you have not already bought tickets. Shows still available are 8/7 at 8pm, 8/8 at 8pm, 8/9 at 8pm, 8/10 at 8pm, 8/11 at 11am & 8pm, and 8/12 at 8pm. MTL is also hosting a PEP Rally before the performances on 8/9- 8/12 with the cast of Disney’s High School Musical. You can meet the cast, take a tour backstage, and get a limited edition High School Musical 2 poster.
