"High School Musical 3: Senior Year"


"High School Musical 3 Senior Year" hits movie theatres on October 24, 2008. Its predecessors, "High School Musical" and High School Musical 2" were only shown on Disney Channel. The "High School Music 2" premiere brought in a total of 17.3 million viewers in the United States—almost 10 million more than "High School Musical," making it the highest-rated basic-cable broadcast in United States history. The soundtrack was also really nice. I know because my daughter has it. My favorites were, "I Don't Dance" and "Bet on It."

In this sequel, Troy ("Zac Efron") and Gabriella ("Vanessa Hudgens") come to realize their separation anxiety, when they have to head off to different colleges. Thus, they, along with the other Wildcats stage a spring musical, which reflects on all their experiences, hopes, and fears about their future. If the movie and the music is like the stuff in High School Music 2, then it's sure to be another hit. Check it out!
