20 years of High School Musical: A message for Christians today

Last weekend, I had the privilege of seeing one of my former students perform in her first professional role out of acting school, in the cast of High School Musical at Salford's Lowry theatre.It was an infectiously enjoyable couple of hours with an audience made up of all ages, many sporting fan-made t-shirts and costumes. There was a clever, immersive set, a high-energy cast, and cameos by original cast member Kaycee Stroh (originally Martha, now playing Ms Darbus). Parent-age pop sensations Jason Donovan and Harry Judd only added to its appeal.
