About Disney's "High School Musical"

High School Musical is an Emmy Award-winning American television film. Upon its release on January 20, 2006, it was the most successful Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOM) ever produced,with a television sequel released on August 17, 2007 and a feature film sequel planned for release in October of 2008. The film's soundtrack was the best-selling album in the United States for 2006. The movie was shot almost entirely in the Wasatch Front in Utah (namely Salt Lake City and Murray).

With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), a beautiful and shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

The idea for "Urinetown" was born in the spring of 1995 when Greg Kotis, traveling in Europe, encountered pay-per-use toilets at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. It was then that the musical's central idea hit him: a Gotham-like city where all the toilets were controlled by a greedy, crooked corporation with no concern for the poor, bladder-oppressed masses.

According to Kotis, the show "was created in a spirit of defiance against what's typically offered up as stage worthy in America today." The result is pure, hilarious and innovative entertainment. The show parodies many popular musicals and theater conventions and playfully pokes fun at itself. "Urinetown" is also rich with social commentary about the American economy, the division between rich and poor, and the way we abuse the environment we depend on.

In 1999 "Urinetown" got its start when the New York City Fringe Festival was looking to add more musicals to its lineup. "Urinetown" became the hit of the festival, and its success led to a commercial production. Flush with the talents of an all-star creative and producing team, "Urinetown" took home Tony Awards in 2002 for best director, best original score and best book of a musical.

Ray Buffer, founder and artistic director of The Relevant Stage Theatre Company is the director of "Urinetown." The choreographer is Kristin Taylor. Kristin's love of dance lead her to New York for a while where she worked with Noah Racey the Assistant Choreographer for the 2002 Best Musical of the Year Thoroughly Modern Millie. The musical director and conductor is Chip Colvin. He is currently working towards his Masters in Collaborative Piano at The University of Southern California. Costumes have been envisioned by Kara McLeod. Set design is by Brooke Corpus.

The cast includes: Carie Millard, Daniel Gordh, Daniel Thomas, Felix Sotelo, Emily Melton, Sam Cavanaugh, John Downey III, Natalie Kollar , Dayna Price, Alpha Takahashi, Brian Chapman, Kenny Taylor, Tristan Nieto, Elizabeth Tarantino, Rhiannon Franck-Thompson, Kaitlyn Tice, Elena Muslar, and Mercie Maes.
