Leaf Chronicle High School Musical 2 Review, Clarksville TN

High School Musical 2″ Rocks the Roxy
Christine Anne Piesyk | Apr 16, 2010 | Comments 0 | |

"As the egocentric Sharpay, Maggie Politi all but steals the show. Tall, thin, blonde, and secure in her belief that she is “all that” with a hip-swinging walk and the most extensive wardrobe in the show. At some point in everyone’s high school years there has been a “Sharpay.” "

Some Reviews of High School Musical 2

High School Musical 2' scores big
BY STACY LEISER • THE LEAF-CHRONICLE • APRIL 17, 2010

"Standouts in the Roxy’s musical are Maggie Politi as a superbly snooty Sharpay Evans, Bryan Zoppi as her fiercely fabulous brother Ryan, and Ryan Ploeckelman as the overtly uptight Mr. Fulton. They are backed by an energetic and appealing cast and ensemble, a stage full of swirling color and sound in the play directed by Tom Thayer and choreographed by Chi Lopes"
