The cast of ‘Camp Rock: The Musical’ perform at ‘Light Up the Holidays in Seton Village’ earlier this month.
SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — interACT Theatre Productions presents its annual youth production this December and this time it is “Disney’s Camp Rock: The Musical.” The show, based on the hit Disney Channel films, opened Friday, Dec. 9, and continues this weekend at the Baird, 5 Mead St. in South Orange.
Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at a reduced rate at www.interactproductions.org/camprock, or puchased at the box office one hour before curtain, if the performance is not yet sold out.
“Camp Rock: The Musical,” which has songs written by former “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi, opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. However, they’re surprised to find that the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock’s very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers and gets them into top shape for the ultimate musical showdown. The Disney Channel films starred pop idols Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers.
The show is directed and choreographed by recent Perry Award nominee Tasha R. Williams, with music direction by Erin Jonas and stage management by Meara Franowicz. Rounding out the crew are producer Charley Harn, scenic designer Connor McCarthy and lighting designer Zach Pizza. The cast consists of nearly 50 young local performers, split into two casts. Both Rachel Cabrera and Sophie Glen star as Mitchie, with Aiden Harn-Flood playing Shane. The cast gave a sneak preview of some songs from the show at South Orange’s tree lighting event “Light Up the Holidays in Seton Village” earlier this month.
