Behind closed doors, the cast is dancing and singing to their favorite songs, taking pictures, socializing, and putting the finishing touches on everything for the performance. What not everyone gets to see is probably the most fun. It was closed off by the senior cast singing a High School Musical megamix. Not only did the Lancers perform the well-known songs like Start of Something New, Bop to the Top, and We’re All in This Together, they brought in new songs like Cellular Fusion, I Can’t Take my Eyes off of You, and Counting on You. All chaos occurs between the Scholastic Decathlon, the Championship Basketball game, and Musical Call-Backs, not to mention feuding between Coach Bolton, played by senior Dan Ostmann, and Drama teacher Ms. Jocks are bakers, Braniacs are dancers, and Skaters are cello-players. The school is rocked when it comes out that Troy got a call back and everyone wants to embrace their inner talents. Troy and Gabriella, played by senior Dave Aliprandi and freshman Sophia Murillo, audition for the Drama Club’s Spring Musicale and unexpectedly get the lead parts, upsetting the typical leads Sharpay and Ryan Evans, played by sophomore Olivia Howell and freshman Nicholas Hunt. The two meet on a ski trip where they expect to never run into each other again, that is until they get back from winter break.
High School Musical centers on Troy Bolton, the superstar basketball captain, and Gabriella Montez, the science genius. This spring’s production of High School Musical not only involved these things backstage, but portrayed them in the spotlight.
The behind the scenes magic helps the theater create the productions that the Lancers are proud to share with everyone. Auditions, call-backs, choreography, learning songs, rehearsing lines, costume fittings, and so much more.
The stage is what the audience sees but there is a lot that goes into making a musical production. Stephanie Brogna, Co-Editor-in-Chief/ PhotographerĮveryone knows the story of Troy Bolton, the basketball star and secret singer of East High, and Gabriella Montez, the new girl in school, seen on stage but not everyone knows what happens behind the scenes of a Lancer Productions Musical.
