Zac Efron is ShoWest's Breakthrough Star of the Year

Zac Efron has been named the 2009 Breakthrough Star of the Year at ShoWest!

ShoWest managing director Mitch Neuhauser says that Zac was “an easy choice” this year what with his success of the High School Musical movies and his upcoming comedy 17 Again:

Neuhauser says, “When Zac Efron made his debut with the cast of Hairspray at ShoWest 2007, many in attendance took notice of this young actor’s incredible talent. His undeniable onscreen presence and charm have connected with fans around the world.”

ShoWest is an exclusive event for the cinema exhibition and distribution community. Zac will be honored at an awards gala on April 2 in Las Vegas.

Congrats, Zac!
