The drama, the romance and the talent of these students on their high school campus have won the hearts of audiences over the world. Spin-offs have included music albums, concerts, ice shows and books. The film\'s soundtrack was also the best-selling album in the United States in 2006. The dance show from "High School Musical" has been one of the most popular performances in Disneylands all over the world.
"Compared with opera, the musical is closer to its audience. I believe it will be popular and welcomed in Shanghai," says Qian Shijin, the artistic director of the Shanghai Grand Theater.
During the two-and-a-half-hour show, all the songs from the original films will be performed. As well two new songs - "Counting on You" and "Cellular Fusion" which will be added to the line-up. The six lead roles will be played by talented 18 and 19-year-olds from South Africa.
"It\'s an exciting production, and the show involves in all the pop music elements of America," says Paul Warwick Griffin, the director.
Audiences will also enjoy the many styles of dance in the show including salsa, the rumba, street dance, hip-hop, samba, jazz and ballet.
A lookalike quest for Chinese Troys and Gabriellas (the stars) will be a highlight of every performance here in the interval.
So start practicing now if you are a middle school student in Shanghai aged between 15 and 18 years old and if you think you look like one of the two leading players.
