The DC Traveler

The Disney movie, High School Musical was a mega hit.  Now, its on the road with a live musical based on the movie.

Two high school kids, the super-smart Gabriella and Troy, the big man on campus and captain of the b-ball team meet at a ski lodge during Christmas break.  During a karaoke contest, they a share a song and develop some chemistry.  Soon afterwards, Gabriella transfers to Troy’s school.  Detention, shyness, peer pressure, audition for the big school musical, teen awkwardness, social cliques, the big game and some home-baked cookies all eventually lead the two into each other’s hearts.  

The original soundtrack for the High School Musical movie went quadruple platinum and was named Billboard’s Soundtrack Album of the Year. The DVD sold over a million copies in the first six days, making it one of the fastest-selling television movie of all time. The story has been made into a book, ice show and more.
