High School Musical
Okay, I have to admit that I rented High School Musical. In my defense it has been playing non stop at work with no sound. I just had to know what the heck was going on. And it is really funny because in a very sanitized Disney-esque kind of way it reminds me of High School, just a bit.
First of all there is the ambiguously gay theatre geek. Of course in my school one of the many ambiguously gay theatre geeks had their female co-conspirator that they (okay, we) followed around. Then there is always the drama around the auditions and who gets what part and how could that person have stolen "my" part (Okay, so I'm still a bit bitter Corey Adler stole the lead in Brigadoon from me. . .whatever!). Don't forget the overly dramatic drama coach who completely misinterprets everything.
What this version left out is just how raunchy the theatre "geeks" really were (you know what I'm talking about Gumby and Carrie). Talk about sanitized! But still it was kinda fun to watch and remember some of the good times.

I have NO idea what you're talking about.
Oh sure Gumby, play innocent. . .
Well, I certainly have NO idea what you're talking about and where in heck do you work that this movie would be playing?
Blockbuster?
Nope, but here is a huge clue. . .where do all my book, music, and movie links send you?
Ah, Barnes and Noble! I used to work part-time at Chapters/Indigo which is pretty much the Canadian B&N.
F@#K HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!
It just so happens that I work for the company that represents this show. Yes, the stage version will be available sometime in September. Almost every customer who calls right now is trying to license HSM. My office has "How To Do the Tiger Dance" posted above the toilet. (don't try it while peeing, you'll make a mess and the hand dryer doesn't work!). Today, alone, I probably answere a hundred phone calls and emails about this show, recieved a poster and other marketing materials, got a full review of how the workshop productions are going, and now I see you've posted a blog about it. I am stuck in a High School Musical!
Okay, I'm not so good at reading between the lines Jesse. . .did you like it?
