🎭 ABOUT THE MUSICAL

Disney Channel's smash hit movie musical comes to life on your stage! Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.

It's the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that is being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella's alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.

Filled with upbeat hits like “Start of Something New,” “Stick to the Status Quo,” and “We’re All in This Together,” this production brings a beloved story to the stage with exciting choreography, colourful costumes, and powerhouse performances by CODA’s talented cast showcasing the next generation of performers in Sydney!

🖤💛❤️

Company of Dramatic Arts acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the traditional custodians of Australia. We pay respect to their elders, past and present.

The land on which we gather, rehearse, perform, and live was never ceded, and we recognise the ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this land. For thousands of years, this land has been a stage, where stories have been performed, connecting communities through time.

CODA is a celebration of diverse stories, and we acknowledge the history and culture of Indigenous communities. We stand in solidarity with the truth that this land was stolen, never ceded.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, where we value inclusivity, understanding, and respect for the rich heritage that shapes our shared experiences.
