“High School Musical: Graduation Year” with Bāliņš and Kugrēns

School is almost over, and graduation is just around the corner! On June 18, “Laugh with Bāliņš and Kugrēns” will take place at Apollo Kino Akropole Rīga, where we’ll be showing the musical comedy High School Musical: Senior Year on the big screen — a movie night where songs, drama, major life decisions, and comedy all come together. Joining the audience in the theater will be a duo who know everything about teenage drama, awkward school moments, and emotional stage performances — comedians Edgars Bāliņš and Rūdolfs Kugrēns. They’ll add witty commentary, observations, and light-hearted irony throughout the screening. Spontaneous singalongs to the movie’s musical hits also can’t be ruled out. You can expect a cinema experience that combines movie watching with elements of live comedy. The format offers a more relaxed and entertaining atmosphere and is perfect for anyone looking for an extra dose of humor during their movie night. As graduation approaches, the film’s main characters — Troy, Gabriella, and the other East High seniors — realize that it’s time to say goodbye. So they come up with a crazy idea: to stage a musical about their experiences at school, the lessons they’ve learned, love, and their worries about the future waiting for them after graduation. It’s an energetic, musical, and heartfelt story about friendship, growing up, and how the most important things in life are best expressed through song.

The film will be shown in English without subtitles, while the comedians will speak in Latvian.
