Question for everybody who has done HSM...

During the "3 in 1" scene... do you have Kelsi at the piano during Ryan/Sharpay's audition dance? I know she has to be there later to run off and find Troy/Gab (even though they come in by themselves later) But I was just wondering.. where's Kelsey?

Also, did you have Ryan/Sharpay just "freeze" during the gym/lab "go audition" parts, or did they keep dancing without music?

Having some difficulty in tidying up those 2 parts.

How quickly we forget... what we did, etc. I THINK, I had Kelsey either run off stage in anger once she punched on the jam box for them OR... I had her sit at the piano with an disgruntled glare at them. Either way, she was there to say.... I'll play for them... or whatever the line is.

I did have Ryan and Sharpay freeze because the way my stage was set up, I had their scene quasi- blacked out whenever the others were 'on'. That's not a lot of help, sorry. If I run across my director's notes while I'm cleaning house HA! in the next couple of days, I'll check it out for you.

Hello all!

Let me introduce myself, I'm Jacob Coakley, editor of Stage Directions magazine (www.stage-directions.com). Found this community when I was looking for resources to help with some High School Musical pieces we're doing in an upcoming issue.

One thing I wanted to let everyone know is that as part of our coverage, we're trying to collect as many photos as possible from as many different productions of this show as possible. So if you have some show shots you'd like to show off - send them our way! You can send your e-mails to hsm(at)stage-directions(dot)com. Please include the name of the school, the names of the actors if it's a close up on someone, and definitely include the name of the school and performance dates. If you have a photo credit, we can include that as well. Photos should be around 1MB in size -- or least 900 pixels by 1200 pixels (That comes out to 3x4 inches when we print them.)

If you have any questions, go ahead and PM me, and I'll give you any info you need. And of course, please feel free to forward this info on to anyone, or copy this post anywhere you like.

Thanks a million, and I'm looking forward to seeing these pics!

-Jacob

OK...this may be lame but I can't find photos of Spider Bill Natrine, Sam Netletter, and Hap Haddon for the flip chart scene in HSM. Are these real people??? I have the others for the lab scene but they were easy. Those of you who already did the show, what did you do for these photos?

Thanks!

We used photos of other (unrecognizable) basketball players. Just searched Yahoo! images and pulled some up. We didn't have the photos blown up, so no one was the wiser. We actually kept the photos in binders because it was just to darned clumsy for us to pull the easels out and then keep them out during the choreography. (Our choreographer went a little crazy and had people all over the stage during that number) It was almost like they were showing the photos of the basketball players in a yearbook.

LOL! I'd forgotten. Not wanting to appear unknowledgeable to my true basketball a holics... prior to rehearsal, I searched and googled all the names endlessly. Finally, someone told me they were ficticious. (GEEZE! Wouldn't ya think for all that royalty, Diz could have at least told us that?) Thus, we got high school sports pictures of some of the school's favorite teachers, had their pix blown up and used their names. For Coach Bolton, we used his 4th grade biddy ball picture. Actually, those who did it as a yearbook were smarter. The easels were a HUGE pain and ditto, my choreographer used dancers everywhere in that scene.
