Link: Theater Review: High School Musical - Theater and Musical Production Reviews.
There was a time when the phrase "high school musical" suggested juniors and seniors donning wigs and face-paint to mount "Fiddler on the Roof" or "Oklahoma!" in the auditorium. That was yesterday, or rather pre-2006. Today, HSM means one thing only: Disney's phenomenally successful franchise, staged extensively in the last 18-months but only now reaching the New York area in a five-week stint at Paper Mill Playhouse. Show should draw plenty of pre-teens who know the material inside out, and help the ledger of the venerable New Jersey theater, which barely escaped extinction in June via a $9 million bailout by the town of Millburn.
