‘Hannah Montana’ Tour Outselling The Police, Springsteen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Cable,
It’s not uncommon for a Disney movie to outperform its competition—so should we be surprised that the hottest concert tour this year is being headlined by a Disney Channel star?
The Hannah Montana (a.k.a. Miley Cyrus) tour is so successful, scalpers are already selling her concert tickets at five times the face value. Seats for all 54 stops have already sold out—and in several cases, in near record fashion. (It took only four minutes in the Atlanta-area and eight minutes in Memphis.) According the Associated Press, her tour is outselling The Police, Bruce Springsteen and Justin Timberlake.
Okay, the Spice Girls did just sell out their London concert in only 38 seconds—but let’s remember: Hannah/Miley’s only 14.

‘High School Musical’ Dancing Special
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Specials, Cable,
I’m going to take a wild guess and say that most of the die-hard fans of High School Musical 2 have already seen the film a thousand times thanks to their DVR. So every line, lyric and nuance have been dissected at this point.
But for those who just can’t get enough, The Disney Channel will be airing a dance-along version of the movie next month. So if you’ve been scratching your head trying to figure out some of those choreographed 8-counts, Zac Efron (along with the other cast members) will be on hand to help provide instruction for several of the musical’s numbers.
Be sure to set your Tivo now for September 8th.

Who’s Ready for High School Musical 2?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Kids, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
Seriously, who isn’t ready for High School Musical 2? I’m a little older than the typical screaming pre-teen Zac Efron fan, but I have to admit I find a little twinkle of charm in the first High School Musical—so I’ll likely give the sequel a look this Friday. Hey, what else is there to watch on a Friday night? Summer TV is pitiful and the wait for the fall season is never-ending. So seeing something light and easy like High School Musical 2 should fit the bill nicely. And I owe it all to my niece. My own kids aren’t that interested, but my niece is a full-fledged maniac about the Disney movie. The movie is the follow-up, of course, to the original 2006 story of high school woes set to music. And it took off like wildfire—spinning into a myriad of plays, a tour, album—good god, even an ice show! This time around, the gang is working at a country club (yep, all of them), so you can bet there will be plenty of musical outbursts as they plan a talent show. And with the certainty of success for the latest High School Musical, there are talks of a third installment landing on the big screen.

Brace Yourself for High School Musical 2
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Kids, Music, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
High School Musical took teeny boppers by storm when it debuted on The Disney Channel in January 2006. I oughta know—my niece is addicted to all things High School Musical. I finally got the chance to watch it with her over the Easter weekend and it wasn’t bad. Oh, to be sure, it wasn’t good either. But if I was a little girl, this movie would hit the spot. Well, fans… the second installment of the feel-good musical is on its way. The movie is actually filming right now, and will air August 17. If the sequel does half as well as the first (which was seen by 100 million people), you can bet there will be a third edition in the works (not to mention CD’s, ice shows, merchandising, etc). The whole gang returns for High School Musical 2: Sharpay, Ryan, Gabriella and dreamy (if I were 10) Troy.
