The Cast of High School Musical!

We all know our amazing ARTS teachers, Ms. Allen and Ms. Carlucci, have been in charge of producing our yearly theatre shows! This year, it's High School Musical Jr. ! For background information, the play is about a girl named Gabriella Montez, who had just moved to East High. She met Troy, the captain of the basketball team, at a New Year’s party by singing karaoke together, and the two have only gotten closer ever since! has a passion for singing, and forms a close bond with Troy Bolton, captain of the basketball team, who also shares a love for singing. They both have to battle around assumptions and other responsibilities, as they audition for the play, Juliet and Romeo. However, who’s portraying all these people?
