It May Not Have Zac Efron, But 'High School Musical' Comes To Millburn

MILLBURN, NJ — Millburn Middle School will perform its spring musical this coming weekend: High School Musical, based on the Disney Channel hit movie from 2006.

"Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on your stage!" the district noted. "Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities."

In the show, a star athlete falls in love with a brainy girl and auditions for the school musical.

According to the description: "The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that is being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the 'status quo,' Troy and Gabriella's alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. Disney's High School Musical is fun for the whole family."

The show will be held on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m.
