where was the first high school musical filmed
High School Musical High School Musical was filmed at East High School located in Salt Lake City, Utah, the auditorium of Murray High School, and Downtown Salt Lake City. Murray High School was also the set of several other Disney productions: Take Down (1979), Read It and Weep (2006), Minutemen (2008),[13] and High School Musical: Get in the Picture (2008).[14] In January 2016, cast members Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman reunited in a Los Angeles high school gym (decorated to resemble the gym used in the film) to celebrate the film's tenth anniversary. Zac Efron was unable to attend but instead sent in a short video of himself giving acknowledgments toward the cast, crew, and fans of the film.[15]
School of Rock (musical) On 20 May 2016 the musical was confirmed at the Gillian Lynne Theatre instead of the Palladium with previews starting on 24 October 2016, opening night on 14 November 2016, and public booking opening on 25 May 2016.[38] Lloyd Webber revealed that the production was able to open several months earlier than anticipated due to finding the child musician actors easily.
