Playing a production of 'High School Musical' next week, what should I expect?

[CurryHalfndHalf]

Yeah, so last week I was asked to play for an amateur production of High School Musical in a month's time. I accepted for several reasons:
1. The guy doing MD is a close friend
2. I know some of the other guys doing it, a brilliant drummer and solid brass players (buds too)
3. It goes down as 'experience' on my University entry form for a music degree

I was just curious to see if anyone else had played for a stage production of it, what I should expect the music to be like etc. I have asked for minimal pay just to cover expenses e.g. my dad's petrol money etc.
I know that as it's amateur, it may be Northern Irish teen screeching out with their badly done American accents, but are there any good aspects of the show?

Thanks

As someone who has had to endure the movie versions, I am confidant that the answer is no.

As someone who had to endure the live version at Disney my answer is no.

...great...

I think that I might just try and enjoy it, playing completely ad lib, messing about with the drummer and that, and just get real into it. It's the best I can do haha =D

I liked it. The first two, anyway. I never watched the third. Ashley/Sharpay looks even better now that she's had the nose job!

That's what I'd do.
