High School Musical Calendar For Schools In Western New York In 2024

Musical season is here.  High school students have been working hard and if you'd like to check out a great show, there are plenty in store for you.

High schools across Western New York are in full "musical mode" and this is your chance to get out and support local music and arts programs.

There's a reason why there was a movie/musical called "High School Musical."  These kids are insanely talented.  If you think the stage is only for adult actors who have given their whole life to their craft, you're wrong.  But that's not to say that these young actors haven't worked very hard at what they do.

Now is a good time to make some plans to be at one (or more) of the upcoming musicals in Western New York.  All the kids are always absolutely phenomenal.  The sets look amazing.  They sound amazing.  The shows...are amazing.

These kids work so hard to put these shows on.  They put in early mornings building sets, and late nights doing rehearsals.  I grew up playing sports and never really saw how much goes into these performances, but let me tell you from personal experience now, they work their butts off.  They're singing, they're dancing, they're memorizing lines, they're working on timing.  This isn't something they just show up to one day.  This is MONTHS of work for 4 days of entertainment.

In many cases, their programs are working with the bare minimum for costumes and sets and these shows are their best chance to make some money for the program.

This is our chance to support these kids.

If you are tired of searching for movies to stream on TV only to be disappointed and realize that you've wasted your weekend, then check out a musical this weekend.  There are tons of them!  All they need is someone to come, see the show, laugh at the jokes, and be amazed by the singing.  Be a participant. (And don't forget to bring some money for the concessions, basket raffles, and 50/50's.  It's all for the kids!)

Ok, maybe it's not a complete list.  You'll notice that there is some information missing.  We did the best we could to gather as much info as we could, but we're still missing some.  If you have one that I don't have listed here, or if you have more information (like on sale information) for one of the shows listed below that needs more info, please email it to brettalan@wyrk.com.
