High School Musical: The Concert was a 40-city concert tour based on the popular hit Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical, sponsored by AEG Live and presented by Buena Vista Concerts. The concert was performed in cities of the United States, Canada and Latin America.

High School Musical: The Concert expanded the Disney Channel franchise that has already produced a triple-platinum selling soundtrack and a planned movie sequel.

Disney is already scoring a success with another concert based on a TV musical, The Cheetah Girls, which is on a sold-out tour of 88 cities.

The concert, which featured songs from the film, also included cast members Corbin Bleu, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Monique Coleman and Vanessa Anne Hudgens. Zac Efron did not join the rest of the cast in order to work on Hairspray. Joining them instead was Drew Seeley, who co-wrote "Get'cha Head in the Game" and sang as Troy in High School Musical the movie and soundtrack. Jordan Pruitt was the show's opening act.

[edit] Concert facts

• The concert CD/DVD was taped in Houston, Texas on December 18, 2006 at the Toyota Center. It typically ran two and a half hours (150 minutes). On May 1, 2007, it was released on both CD and DVD together.
• The show's touring producer, creative director and director was the movie's director and choreographer Kenny Ortega. On the night of the last concert, as seen on YouTube, the cast introduced him before singing one last chorus of "We're All in This Together."
• The live version of "Start of Something New" recorded at the Houston concert was included in the Radio Disney Jams Vol. 9 CD.
• In Mexico the release was on April 30, 2007.^[1] In the US the release was on May 1, 2007.
• Jordan Pruitt is featured on the concert DVD.^[2]
• The cast made four visits to South America: Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Venezuela.
• In Brazil, the concert made in Sao Paulo, Ashley Tisdale's songs "Be Good To Me" and "He Said She Said" were aired and Vanessa Hudgens' songs "Say Ok" and "Let's Dance" were aired.
• Vanessa Hudgens had a cold on the tour, resulting in her sounding flat and off key in some sections of the Concert Album and DVD
• In May 26, 2007, the concert made in Buenos Aires, Argentina was shown in Disney Channel Latin America. None of Ashley Tisdale's songs were aired and Vanessa Hudgens only sang "Come Back to Me".
• In June 9, 2007, the concert made in Santiago, Chile was shown in Canal 13. All the solo performances were aired.

• On June 10, 2007 the concert filmed in Mexico City, Mexico and was aired on Disney Channel Latin America.
• Each of the singers had two microphones during the performances: a headset microphone with a flesh-colored pad on the tip, and a hand-held microphone.
• All of the cast members' microphones were color coded. For each person, the bottom color of their microphone were as follows:

Andrew Seeley- Blue,
Vanessa Hudgens- Yellow,
Ashley Tisdale- Red,
Lucas Grabeel- Orange,
Corbin Bleu- a white microphone with a green bottom and
Monique Coleman- Purple

• Lucas Grabeel served as the emcee.

• For "Dance with Me" (from Cheetah Girls 2 --- also directed by Kenny Ortega with choreography by Ortega and Charles Klapow) there was an extended guitar solo which allowed Monique Coleman to be featured in an extended tango number with both backup dancer Jared Murillo and Drew. Jared Murillo was also the Choreographer for Dance with Me.

• While the CD and DVD were recorded at the same show, the two different formats feature slightly different edits, for example the when Lucas thanks the cast and crew at the end of "We're All in This Together", he says "Houston you have been awesome," and thanks the band on the CD version whilst the DVD version skips straight into thanking the cast and dancers. Also noticed is that he thanks Jordan Pruitt in real life, but on both the CD/DVD combo and the Extreme All-Access Pass DVD, he never does.

• On August 18, 2007, director Kenny Ortega stated that there will most likely be a High School Musical 2 tour in the end of 2008, after the release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year which will make the tour double for both films. He also mentioned making it into some sort of "festival".
