High School Musical
Wow. Talk about the Super Bowl for pre-teen girls.
Did anyone else have to host a party for this “event” on Friday night? |

Our 12 year old daughter went to a party hosted by someone else. Our 8 year old stayed home and watched it with us. She didn't want to watch it with friends so she could dance along without inhibitions.
As schlocky as these musicals sometimes are, I kind of like that the kids are watching shows with singing and dancing, where everyone isn't focused on looking cynical and cool. |

Like I said - think Super Bowl for pre-teen girls. It was the most watched show in cable tv history.
"LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Disney Channel's highly anticipated "High School Musical 2" danced its way to history Friday night when 17.24 million viewers tuned in, making the original movie's debut the most-watched basic cable telecast of all time." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...082000064.html |

The first movie was filmed at East HS in SLC. Anyone know where the second one was filmed? Same place?

Both my 10 year old and 11 year old went to their friend's house for a birthday party sleepover that night. I'm sure all those girls had a blast that night watching High School Musical 2. I had a nice peaceful night without them.

My understanding is that it was filmed at East HS again and in Shithole...I mean St. George.
