One of the fun parts of being Communications Manager involves dealing with the media. I love pitching our shows and different story ideas to the newspaper, radio and television stations and setting up interviews with different cast members. Gretchen Bieber is starring in High School Musical 2 as Sharpay - and she is the one who I will take on the interviews for this particular show. Gretchen has been in the Broadway and Broadway National Tour of Hairspray. She also was a semi-finalist in NBC's Grease: You're the One That I Want and All My Children. She starred in the regional production of Disney's High School Musical as Sharpay as well!
She had a phone interview this week on
Bill & Lynda in the Morning's show on MIX 101.5. In case you missed it, click

On Monday, I'm taking Gretchen to the
News 14 TV studio where she'll talk to Tracey Early, then we will head on over to the
Dave Kent show on 93.9 KISS FM. I will hopefully post photos and/or video from these next week!
Also, stay tuned for a feature on
HSM2 with
ABC11's anchor Angela Hampton. She visited our studios yesterday to interview Chandon Jones, a Sharpette, and
High School Musical 2 director, Casey Hushion. They also got some great footage of the rehearsal!
