"Hull High" was a short lived tv show that aired on NBC from the September of '90 to mid- October. Although not very successful, it did bring together a team of people who would become like family. Directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega, the same director/choreographer of "Newsies", it casted Trey Parker (Kid Blink), Mark David (Specs), Marty Belafsky (Crutchy), Dee Caspary (Snitch), Michael Goorjian (Skittery), Micki Duran (Roundhouse), Alfred Carr (Roundhouse), Ivan Dudynsky (Dutchy, danced in 1 episode), Bryan Anthony (Roundhouse) and Peggy Holmes as assistant choreographer also AC for Newsies. Trey Parker said it was a breakthrough in showbusiness for him, for he got to act, sing and dance all at the same time. Even Entertainment Weekly thought it was creative and had a bright future.
