Overall this was an ok opening. The set was decent for a hs and the signing was decent, but the choreography and staging were horrendous!! This has to be one of the highest energy opening songs in musical theatre and most of the people just stood around. There needs to be constant movement and it should build to the climax of the song, getting more exciting all the time. I practically fell asleep watching this.
i just think they could've done better for the knife throwing team of Keeler and Tate on the uh, oh no, ahhhhh, ahhhhhh...... AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! becuz they sounded so calm like nothing was happening but besides that it was amazing
Singing is all around quite good, a nice full ensemble. The lead male, unfortunately, is frequently quite out of tune, he tends to sing a little sharp.
Hey, I'm PR for our HS theatre dept., we're award-winning (just won our division, all of Southern California with "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" and will be performing for the All-California title)
We sold out every single show actually. Basically we required every cast/pit/crew member to sell a certain number of tickets in advance. That took care of about 75% of ticket sales.
i disagree. His tuning is almost perfect the whole way through. Keep in mind this is a first tenor singing a baritone part, so it sounds different because he is often in his low range.

Feh. They're using the crummy revisal that was foisted off on the unsuspecting on Broadway a few years ago. The kids are fine, but the script their teacher selected for them sucks. You open with this song and where do you go? Just go home. Ya done saw the show.
This is a High School musical!? I think u guys did a wonderful job! A few mess up's, but really great otherwise!! :D

Lovely sets and wonderful production.

Orchestra sounds great, only a few glitches.
Looks very good, especially for HS.

1. Nour, way to be negative
2. If you're going to criticize someone, make sure you're right. He's definitely sharp, not flat. In any case he does a great job.
