High School Musical On Tour (Summer 2007)

I've seen a preview during the press conference at Hotel New York yesterday. It was simply stunning! All the journalists were wowed by the amount of energy the casts' performance had!

i have to say i hate high school musical, sorry but i just do,it's cheesy i am quite upset they are replacing someone like cruella a pure disney character, for some cheesy scary singing kids wanting to be in a talent show.

disney is about cartoons, and i know films like potc has real people in but that is great and the quailty of that is so much greater then high school musical. i just think like masamune its freakishly cheesyly scary :shock:

I'll try to explain again... The preview we got at the press conference was just amazing. The whole conference room was filled with energy, something that's missing at WDS. And if this has to replace Cruella De Ville, yes please. Even if I don't like the movie, this is something guests will love.

Raptor, do you know if they will build a moving stage for High School Musical, just like they did at DCA and Disney-MGM? I assume that Lilo & Stitch will return to the Production Courtyard Stage?

Well Maarten, I've posted the press release for High School Musical On Tour on WDSfans a couple of minutes ago! Here it is:

The hottest dance moves and the biggest hit songs from one of the Disney Channel's most popular entertainment phenomenon come to life in "High School Musical On Tour", a new immersive show for teh whole family at Walt Disney Studios Park.
Debuting on a rolling outdoor stage June 16 and performing through Aug. 26, a multi-talented world of East High, a place where best friends break into elaborate musical numbers like magic.
Theme Park guests may even find themselves shooting basketball or joining in as the whole street turns into a party while great songs fill the air.Performed in several languages, it's a showcase of sing-a-along fun that will invite all ages to be part of a new kind of live excitement inspired by the highest rated TV movie in Disney history.

I think it does matter if you don't like the movie. :lol:

If you don't like the movie, you're not gonna want to see the show. So in that sense, it affects all those that love the Cruella DeVil show and hate what it's being replaced with.

Yes, I'll probably give it a fair watch when I go, but no matter how good the singing/dancing in the show is, it's not going to change the fact that I don't like the film that the show is based on.

It's not even certain HSM will replace Cruella.... C'mon people... :roll:

Let's not bash the show before it has even started (like happened for OUADP and Laser Blast...)

by **Masamune** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 12:09 am

;) I'm not bashing the show raptor, I'm bashing the movie. You have to admit, it would be hard for anyone to really love a show that's based on a movie that they can't stand.

I'll only be able to bash the show itself if I see it for myself, and I find that it's just a live version of the film.

:lol:

Who knows? I may be pleasantly surprised. But for now, as things stand, I won't be happy if they replace Cruella's show with this.

Hehe, you just love the show for the performers

. Though I'm also saving my judgement for when I see it. Also I got the new envie+ magazine today and there is no sign of cruella returning. The back of the magazine has a timeline of shows and attractions being performed and such.

I for one think its a fantastic idea. Cant stand teh movie myself, but on a recent visit to teh resort, all I got for 4 days of my niece and nephew was would they see the guys from High School Musical!

I think it would be a great hit. The more interactive the better

Well it IS certain that HSM will replace Cruella. We (at Guest Flow) had the schedule for this summer and Cruella is not on it. Catch the Wave is returning.

by **Kristof** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:00 pm

Thanks for your confirmation. The schedule I saw mentioned both, but that was probably an early draft.

Im gutted that when i go in September it will be finished, High School Musical is really popular theres no getting away from that - not really my cup of tea but the idea of the energetic show intrigues me.

by **Masamune** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 12:01 am

:lol: I can appreciate decent dancing, but even that's poor in HSM.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need a lot of convincing.

Roll on June!

same here masamune, i'll give it a shot but nothing will chnage my opinion on the film, but the show might be good

by **Kristof** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:02 pm

I suggest you all reserve your opinion about the show until it's actually performed... It wouldn't be fare to shoot it down before even one cheerleader has set foot on the WDS' concrete flooring...

by **Jayna62** » Sun Apr 08, 2007 3:19 pm

My daughter can't wait for HSM as she and all her mates are learning the dances.

. It will be a great addition to WDS

by **Masamune** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 12:56 am

:roll: As I said earlier raptor, no one's bashing the show. We're bashing the film. It could be the greatest show ever for all I know, but that won't change my opinion on the film.

The only reason I'm giving the show a chance is because I want to be able to give an honest opinion on it.

When I first read there was going ot be a show I joked because Steph loved watching it, but just lately even she is sick of hearing it over and over again on the Disney channels.

She has said tho tht if could make DLRP to see the show (which I very much doubt :roll:

) sh'd love to see it.

The thing is, a lot of the shows are all aimed at younger audiences so it will be great to see something for the older kids to watch and join in.
