High School Musical

By rhombulus This show is a pretty cheesy feelgood show about a high school glee club and it is very much a reply to the popularity of the High School Musical movies. It is in the same vein but has, from my experience, been received with much more positive reviews from an older crowd.. Maybe that has to do with...

By Matt The sequel follows Troy Bolton and Gabriella Marquez and their Wildcat compatriots as they spend their summer before senior year working at country club.  Scott Perrie (Les Misérables, Arts Club) and Shannon Adams as Troy and Gabriella respectively, had a very fitting G-rated kind of c...

By Rob A tepid, cliche-ridden movie, Fame 2009 is more content to play to formula and embrace the High School Musical fan club rather than the edginess of its far better predecessor. As with the original, the film follows a group of students as they vy for success and recognition at the New York Cit...

I got 17 Again mainly because my 12 year old daughter is a major High School Musical freak who thinks the moon rises and sets by Zac Efron .

This was emailed to [prominent journalist/film and media blogger Nikki Finke] by a Bandslam insider who's also a prominent filmmaker (and asked to be anonymous) in response to my box office report that the Walden Media/Summit Entertainment pic had a disastrous $2.3M weekend despite gr...

Stoke & Staffordshire, UK Luckily for me, I was entering the world of High School Musical with two eight-year-old veterans who knew the territory inside out. And thankfully, HSM Live on Stage delivers exactly what it says on the tin. The show is two hours of high energy, ...

By spittingstars Now, a lot of people will not agree, I know this. However this is the only song throughout the entire trilogy that experiments with pairings, as every other song is either Troy & Gabriella, Sharpay & Ryan, Sharpay & Troy, a group number, etc. In this song, Ryan tries to convince C...

Elementary School Musical" ostensibly takes a swipe at that modern abomination High School Musical, but under the surface has much more profound things to say about the nature of fads and that one cool kid at school who all the girls fancy. ...

Zac Efron: Yes. I was 17 or something like that during the first “High School Musical”. We were just getting started and I didn’t really know what people would think about this in the States, how they would react. Nobody was expecting such a huge success. Actually, going to high school was still...

By Chris Molanphy What were you guys working on before you hooked up with Disney, and how was the idea of High School Musical first pitched to you? You guys both did work for Disney before HSM, right? So, dare I ask: Are you working on High School Musical 4? High School Musical: Complete coverage

The trouble here, as with many DVD games, is with the wait time. Within most of the games, "HSM: The DVD Game" takes much too long loading each new level. Sure, you'll need time to hand off the remote to the next player, but not this much time; during the main trivia game, there's a good twenty or t...

By Julie It all started with High School Musical 1. It was this “little” Disney Channel Original Movie with some new young actors who could sing and dance pretty good.

But like both of those esteemed works, “High School Musical 2” has, heaven help us, haphazard charm. Yes, it’s badly lip-synched, badly danced and doused in self-tanner, but the kids seem so earnest and good-natured (Lucas Grabeel as Ryan Evans comes into his own in this one) that you root...
