High School Musical
 

Sappy, cheesy, SO unlike real high schools... But yet the world loves it. I'm one of those weird theater geeks who thinks that while it is a good movie, it has its faults.

If some of you haven't heard, a stage show was written because of the movie's fame- for high schools and other groups to perform.

Such as mine.

Yes, my high school is actually doing HSM, which is cool. Some people are boycotting it, because those of us who have been in shows all along think it's strange that theater is suddenly "cool". Most people are in it, though.

The cast list was posted tonight, and I got Kelci, the part I wanted. Not bad for a freshman...

Comments, anyone?

The basketball song in that made me think of Wilt when I saw it.

Ditto. Except everyone on the basketball team in the play is short, except the guy who plays Troy.

The red and white uniforms made me think of Wilt as well.

I know the costume director, and she said that she's thinking of making them go old school with Converse high tops.

No one got why I started to squeal during rehearsal tonight.

I only had one problem with HSM. I couldn't stand the fact that they didn't track Troy's singing voices together to make it sound better. And he looked sort of weird to me.

an example of how to make a movie involving basketball as unenetrtaining as possible.

It's all my co-worker's fault!

I love theatre. But I can't stand High School Musical. I'm sorry:( There's just something about it that...really gets on my nerves.

:bloocross: Lol I feel like i'm the only one who enjoyed it. The music was catchy (yeah even you couldn't get the songs out your head) and the actors were pretty good. And I liked the whole teenage Grease type thing:bloogrin .

But yeah there are a few things that ticked me off.

The lipsinging was really bad especially the guy who plays Troy (the main guy character) he was awful :wiltshock:

Why are the girls voices squicky?

Why does Troy wear more make-up than the girls.

Jeez I could have just pushed their faces together the main characters would never darnit kiss!

And yeah thats about it.

HSM Rocks!! and number 2's coming in 2007 yippie :bloocross:

I think the movie is over-rated. I saw some of it and I was annoyed that the kids mouthed the words at the end...

Puke! I had to sit through this in school! I'll never get that hour & 30 mins. back! Over-rated & a bad movie. *Eye Twitches*

It was okay. Over-rated? Yes.

But reading the script, the stage show is a lot better (it has a lot more to it, some extra characters, and some characters taken out).

It shall be interesting. And I sing (Kelsi doesn't sing in the movie)!!!

And I qualify as a "main lead", so it's fun.

I think our version will be better than the movie. The casting is perfect, I think... The girl who plays Sharpay can actually tap dance (being a tap dancer myself, I think that Ashlely Trisdale needs... oh, ten years of lessons before she can tap in a musical).

So, in conclusion, the movie is over-rated, but the stage show seems to be a tad bit better.
