Young Actor\u2019s Theatre (YAT) presents “Disney\u2019s High School Musical 2″ (HSM 2) on stage Feb. 20 through March 1 at the Museum of Contemporary Art\u2019s Sherwood Auditorium, 700 Prospect St. ” \u2018High School Musical 2\u2019 is so new that this is the San Diego premiere of it,” YAT administrative director Mishon Wallace said. Disney caught its target market\u2019s attention with the first “High School Musical” using a classic Shakespearean “Romeo and Juliet”-inspired plot that quickly spread into a trend that included T-shirts and other marketing paraphernalia. Soon Disney produced “HSM 2” and recently “HSM 3.” YAT successfully produced the first HSM, according to YAT founder and executive director Jean Isaac. “The crowds were huge,” Isaac said. “We had sold-out performances once the word got out.” YAT recently built the group\u2019s own theater in Spring Valley. “The Spring Valley theater has so much of a smaller venue in comparison [to Sherwod],” Isaac said. Wallace said many “HSM” cast members returned to the YAT company for “HSM 2,” including the characters Troy and Gabriella. “HSM” lovers won\u2019t be bored, according to Isaac, who said the “HSM 2” play version “flows better” than the movie. “The stage play gels. All the pieces come together very well,” Isaac said, adding that many songs remain in the stage version. “Disney does it right when it comes to the music.” YAT will perform “HSM 2” Feb. 20, 21 and 27 at 7 p.m.; Feb. 21, 22 and March 1 at 2 p.m., and Feb. 28 at 11 a.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students and seniors; YAT offers discounted group rates.
