High School Musical celebrates community and belonging. Here’s how the cast and creatives are hoping the show will speak to queer audiences. High School Musical On Stage heads to The Lowry in Salford from 22 August - 19 September before arriving at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre from 12 October - 3 January 2027. by @joeandwill5678

I’m sorry, but nobody is more iconic than THE @kaycstroh ❤️
