Hip Hop High - The Musical
This modern day musical tale centers on an urban school, which only
accepts the best dancers, singers and rappers. "Drew" Moore, a three-
time city dance champion, has recently moved into town with his family,
and has enrolled into “Hip Hop High”. Drew has fallen on hard times
and has withdrawn himself from his family, friends, and his dancing,
But when he witnesses a robbery and murder by some fellow students in the school, Drew has to choose between being a cowardly bystander
or fighting back. In a school of cut-throat competition, Drew will
need more than just talent if he wants to survive and come out on top.
Hip hop dance will be his secret weapon and rap will be his battle Cry
in “Hip Hop High-The Musical”

Hip Hop High-The Musical Makes The New York International Fringe Festival
Will Hip Hop Ever transcend to Broadway, that question may soon be
answered. Hip Hop High-The Musical will be hitting the New York
International Fringe Festival in August. The musical produced by Z-Man Films
and Records has been working to launch the film and the staged musical of
the same name for the last two years with great success.
Z-Man; the writer/producer/creator of “Hip Hop High-The Musical” feels
that the project is getting the break it so needed to get the attention of the
general public to push toward Broadway and Off-Broadway stages.
Although our Main target is Broadway , we are seeking off Broadway
stages, colleges and High schools around the world, says Z-Man.
I feel that the young adults can relate to a show that won’t be sugar coated
or happy-go-lucky. Hip Hop High is real, it’s truly from the hood, the music,
the dance and the overall feel of the musical; is what young adults are
feeling today.
The New York International Fringe Festival is the same festival that have
launch hits shows like Tony-Award – winning “Urinetown” and off
Broadway hits like “Matt and Ben, ” The New York International Fringe
Festival may have just found another hit with “Hip Hop High-The Musical”
The festival is expecting great things from this years lineup and we anticipate
“Hip Hop High-The Musical” to be a favorite among the young adult
demographic audience. “Hip Hop High” will be featured in the “Fringe High”
Section of The New York International Fringe Festival, a program targeting
young adults and high school students.
All in all only time will tell if Hip Hop will ever transcend to Broadway, but
with shows on Broadway like “The Heights” and “Bring Da Noise, Bring da
Funk” it’s only a matter of time before “Hip Hop High-The Musical” makes
it’s mark on Broadway or Off Broadway stages.
