haha, mayyyybe. At least some sections of the entertainment group worry that the clock is ticking on High School Musical’s stream of popularity. According to Jim Hill Media, “Disney senior officials genuinely believe that — in spite of the fact that “High School Musical 3” is due to be released to theaters on October 24th of this year — that the HSM phenomenon will soon blow itself out. That’s one of the reasons that Disney — working with Feld Entertainment — put three companies of “High School Musical: The Ice Tour” out on the road at the exact same time last year. With the hope that they’d then be able to cash in before this tween favorite fell from favor.”

ouch.

Disney’s theater group has a whole new outlook, though, Disney Theatrical will release the stage adaptation of High School Musical 2 to performing groups this October “With a two act version of the “HSM 2″ stage show being available for high school, regional and professional productions, while a 70-minute, one-act version will then be marketed to middle schools.” Similar plans will follow after High School Musical 3’s debut.

So what do YOU think? How many more years can High School Musical dominate bedroom walls and sleepover soundtracks?

 PSSSTTT…. You can see the official High School Musical On Tour stage show at Gammage Auditorium Jun. 24 - 29!

(BTW: there’s rumors of a High School Musical-themed dinner show opening in Orlando. Eating off of cafeteria trays at East High and riding Wildcat buses from Walt Disney World may sound boring to some, but I think it sounds FANTASTIC!!!)
