The executive producers of "High School Musical" keep the good times rolling with MTV's "The American Mall," an upbeat musical comedy set in the one place that's always been every American teenager's home away from home - the local shopping mall. Ally is a hardworking young woman whose mother has owned a music shop that's been the soul of the mall ever since it opened when Ally was a kid. Ally's singer/songwriter dreams seem to come closer to fruition when she meets Joey, a musician who's moonlighting as a janitor at the mall in order to support his own rock star ambitions. While Joey understands her songs (and heart) like no one else on "The American Mall," Ally's happiness and the fate of the music store are threatened when the mall owner's spoiled daughter Madison – who will stop at nothing to get what she wants – becomes involved.
"The American Mall" stars Nina Dobrev ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") as Ally, Rob Mayes as Joey, Autumn Reeser ("The O.C.," "Lost Boys: The Tribe") as Madison Huxley, Yassmin Alers ("Rent") as Erin, Ally's mom, and Al Sapienza ("The Sopranos") as shopping mall owner and Madison's dad, Max Huxley. Rounding out the cast of "The American Mall" are Wade Allain-Marcus as Ricky, Neil Haskell ("So You Think You Can Dance") as Drew, David Baum as Stavros, Brooke Lyons ("American Dreams") as Dori, Blythe Auffarth ("Veronica Mars") as Alexa, Bresha Webb ("Lincoln Heights") as Little Penny, Bianca Collins ("Unfabulous") as Mia and Rodney To as Ben.
Shawn Ku directs "The American Mall" and choreographs the musical numbers with Bonnie Story ("High School Musical"). The teleplay is by Margaret Oberman from a story by Tomas Romero and P.J. Hogan. Arata Matsushima, Barry Rosenbush, Jeff Yapp and Lisa Silfen are executive producers of "The American Mall." Serving as producers are Bill Borden and Terry Spazek. "The American Mall" is produced in association with MTV Studios and T&C Pictures.
