About

The Wild Cats are back on stage in High School Musical 2 Live at the Windmill theatre and this time, school’s out for summer.
School spirit and teamwork have not been left at the school gates however, as the musical group of teens from East High set off for a summer of fun and romance working at the country club Lava Springs for the bumbling Mr Fulton. But the blonde and, by her own admission, fabulous Sharpay Evans’s new found Wild Cat spirit of togetherness – discovered in the first instalment – doesn’t last long when she sets her sights on breaking up the school’s golden couple, Troy and Gabriella, who proved that not only can the basketball star and book worm be together, but they can also sing together too.
With Troy worrying about the chances of winning a college scholarship, Sharpay finds a way to distract the most popular boy at East High from his friends and his relationship with Gabriella, all the while plotting how she will win the star dazzle award in the summer talent show for the sixth year running.

High school sweethearts duets include You Are The Music In Me and Gotta Go My Own Way portray love’s young dream perfectly. These ballads are interspersed with rockier numbers such as the Michael Jackson inspired I Don’t Dance and Troy’s crisis of faith number Bet On It, as well as infectious group numbers with glitzy dances and pleasing over-the-top staging, including the Hawaiian Humuhumunukunukuapua’a and What Time Is It.
With a candy-coloured set, High School Musical 2 Live On Stage retains the innocence and fun that the films are famous for. With a few tongue-in-cheek jokes thrown in, the kids may be very now, but with the resounding message of sticking together and looking after each other, the show follows a classic family-friendly formula. After an explosive finale that has every child out of its seat, just don’t expect your children to get any sleep that night.
