Go Wildcats!

The new touring stage adaptation of Disney's "High School Musical" is coming to Shea's Performing Arts Center Sept. 25-30.
Get ready to cheer for Disney's "High School Musical," which will show some school spirit Tuesday, Sept. 25 through Sunday, Sept. 30 at Shea's Performing Arts Center.

Disney's "High School Musical" is a contemporary musical comedy about a popular high school basketball star and a shy, academically gifted newcomer who discover they share a secret passion for singing.

When they sign up together to audition for the lead roles in the school musical, it threatens East High's rigid social order and sends their peers into an uproar.

In a desperate effort to maintain the status quo, the "jocks," the "brainiacs" and even the drama club regulars are soon hatching convoluted plots to separate the pair and keep them offstage. By defying expectations and taking a chance on their dreams, however, the couple inspires other students to go public with some surprising hidden talents of their own.

"High School Musical" premiered on Disney Channel U.S. on Jan. 20, 2006 and posted the highest ratings for a Disney Channel original movie up until that time. It went on to become a smash hit internationally, and in 2006, aired on 26 Disney Channels and free-to-air broadcasters worldwide, reaching more than 100 million viewers in more than 100 countries.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25 through Thursday, Sept. 27; 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29; and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at Shea's Performing Arts Center, 646 Main St., Buffalo.
