If you have children ages 5-17, then you are very aware of the smash Disney hit High School Musical. Last week, the sequel debuted on the Disney Channel. It was watched by over 17 million people, an all-time record for cable television. Mind-blowing numbers.

It's wholesome entertainment and reminds me of my high school days when Grease was all the rage. The music is terrific, very catchy and kids sing the songs like they were reciting the National Anthem.

During our annual summer camp, Next Stop Broadway, we put on several performances of the original High School Musical to rave reviews. The kids were so pumped up I thought I was at a Pearl Jam concert.

Disney has been down for a while but looks to be coming back with a vengence riding the popularity of this production. There are now ice show and stage tours coming to a theater or arena near you and hopefully to Coral Springs at some point down the road.
