When Hansel and Gretel wander into the forest, they encounter some marvelous folk – an arrogant troll who fiercely guards his bridge, a talking owl, a forest sprite, and two hobgoblins in the service of the Gingerbread Witch. Kidnapped by the witch, Hansel is locked in a cage and fed nothing but fudge and cake, but can Gretel outsmart the witch and free the lost children who have been turned into cookies?

The show follows the final class of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts from their admission in 1980 to their graduation in 1984. All of the struggles, fears and triumphs – from prejudice to substance abuse – are depicted with razor-sharp focus as the young artists navigate the worlds of music, drama, and dance.

Featuring students finishing 9th grade through college.

Disney's smash-hit musical comes to life! It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. 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. The couple causes an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. 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.
