Disney’s smash hit movie musical comes to life in our backyard this month as Camden Musical Society’s High School Musical 2 Jr hits the stage at Camden Civic Centre.

High School Musical 2 Jr sees the kids from East High back to enjoy their summer break at Lava Springs Resort.

A cast of 25 talented young locals from the Macarthur area ranging from 12 to 17 years of age are set to bring the high energy, musical tale to life with lights, sounds and sets that will have everyone dancing in their seats.

Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said it was fantastic to host live shows with so many locals casted once again.

“Camden Civic Centre has been home to so many international, national and local shows over the years and we are so proud to have so many locals included in this show,” Cr Fedeli said.

“We truly are home to many wonderfully talented creatives and giving them the opportunity to start their careers in shows like High School Musical 2 Jr is great.

“I encourage the community to check out the amazing show during the upcoming school holidays.”

Camden Musical Society founder, Melissa Musgrave, said the show follows on from two successful stints at the Civic Centre, with Seussical in 2021 as well as Villains and Vixens in April this year.

“Our young cast is bursting with energy and excitement to bring this show to Camden,” Ms Musgrave said.

“These school holidays come and enjoy your local theatre group, the Camden Musical Society’s production of Disney’s High School Musical 2.

“Why not get the kids out to see live theatre in your own backyard for a fraction of the cost of the big Sydney shows. You will see our amazing local performers and share in the magic of music and theatre.”
