HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - THE CONCERT
40-CITY NORTH AMERICAN ARENA TOUR LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 29

Stars of Disney Channel Original Movie – Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale – Perform Songs from #1 Album and More, Special Guest Drew Seeley Joins Cast

"High School Musical: The Concert," a North American arena concert tour starring the multi-talented cast of the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel Original Movie and pop culture phenomenon High School Musical, will begin November 29 in San Diego, California, launching a 40-city concert tour. Tickets are on sale at some of your local Ticketmaster outlets (or others) and online at HighSchoolMusical.AEGLive.com.

Performing the hit songs from High School Musical's triple-platinum-selling soundtrack (which also is the #1 best-selling album of 2006 to date) are the multi-talented young stars (in alphabetical order): Corbin Bleu ("Chad"), Monique Coleman ("Taylor"), Lucas Grabeel ("Ryan"), Vanessa Hudgens ("Gabriella") and Ashley Tisdale ("Sharpay"). They will be joined by the Emmy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Drew Seeley, who co-wrote the hit "Get'cha Head in the Game" and contributed male vocals to the High School Musical and The Cheetah Girls 2 soundtracks. Zac Efron ("Troy") currently is filming the musical motion picture Hairspray and is unable to join the concert tour.

In addition to performing songs from High School Musical, the stars also will have breakout moments during each concert. Corbin Bleu, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale will perform material from their current and/or forthcoming solo albums.

Emmy Award-winning director and choreographer Kenny Ortega is serving as creative director for "High School Musical: The Concert" and has assembled a world-class production team for the concert tour.

:barf: They star in one musical and they think they can release an album? Vanessa Hudgens album has already flopped, so I expect the other 2 will perform similarly :D

How much did Vanessa sell?

I'm not entirely sure about what she sold, but the first week sales were around 35,000 and the CD dropped out of the Top 50 in 2 weeks I think.

That's dismal. :( Looks like she'll never get away with being known only as Vanessa Anne Hudgens from High School Musical.

Hmmmm, Ashley Tisdale might do better since she had the Disney following already before she worked on HSM.

"He Said She Said": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Taut3u9gVk
"Not Like That" and "So Much For You": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snqn3dlHN2U

Plus here's a bonus: Her cover of Wham's "Last Christmas": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KIyHNOUUV0

I think it's lame how Zac Efron is not going to be on the tour. Someone said it's like Taylor Hicks not being on the American Idol tour this year.
