The stage version of the Disney hit High School Musical has made its London debut to an audience of screaming fans and also many starts turned out on the 5th for the premiere. Among the well-known names who turned out for the London premiere was stage performer Bonnie Langford, who attended with her seven-year-old daughter Bibi. She said that “I think it’s great what it stands for, being very clean-cut, life being very simple. It’s very hopeful, particularly for young people at the moment. It’s going back to the age of ‘when in doubt, sing’,”
It’s said that this show is the latest new outing for the record-breaking global phenomenon, which first appeared as a children’s TV film over two years ago. The show has a cast of 32 and includes former EastEnders star Letitia Dean, who plays drama teacher Ms Darbus.
Steve Fickinger of Disney Theatrical Productions said that “Since High School Musical is a story about young people and for young people, and has been embraced by kids worldwide, it is only fitting that our London premiere will benefit one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals.”
The show’s nine-week run coincides with a UK-wide tour, which has already visited a number of cities including Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham.
I am taking my daughter to see the show this month for her birthday and by the sounds of it she will love it and is not a show to be missed.
