Hey kids, let’s put on a show!


Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life in the area premiere when it comes to life on your stage at RHS in December!
It’s a musical comedy set in a too-cool high school! With tones of Grease and Romeo and Juliet, the show focuses on a popular basketball player and a brainiac new student who share a love of singing.
When they audition for the school musical, sparks fly—romantically for them and socially for the rest of the school.
