The cultural sensation “High School Musical” reaches a whole new level of “cool” with Disney’s High School Musical: The Ice Tour which comes to the Rose Garden, Thursday – Sunday, October 23 – 26.
The ice tour will feature a live fusion of songs, dance and team-spirited fun to celebrate the music of the original Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel movie, and its sequel “High School Musical 2,” which is set to debut on the Channel this summer. Disney’s High School Musical: The Ice Tour is being produced by Feld Entertainment and Kenny Ortega and mounted in cooperation with Thomas Schumacher (president of Disney Theatrical Productions) and his team.
Schumacher said, “‘High School Musical’ has been a smash hit in virtually every area of the entertainment spectrum from television and home entertainment to soundtracks, and live concert tours. The ice tour celebrates the fun and music in a whole new and exciting way. Feld Entertainment is the undisputed expert in its field, and we’re working closely with them and the movie’s original creators to make this a fantastic experience for audiences of all ages.”
Kenneth Feld, a Tony® Award-winning producer, said, “We brought together a creative dream team who will deliver a top-notch production that celebrates moments from the movies in an ice spectacular that will fill arenas with lights, music, dancing, and spirit. Kenny Ortega has pumped incredible genius into this production and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with him.”
“We’ll be recruiting some of the world’s most talented skaters to play East High School’s own Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, Sharpay, Chad and Taylor,” said Nicole Feld. “They’ll be heating up the ice performing chart-topping tunes and signature choreography, and with the ice as the dance floor, this event will be an unprecedented twist on a fan favorite.”
Disney’s High School Musical: The Ice Tour will feature music from the popular “High School Musical” soundtrack, including “We’re All in This Together,” “Get’cha Head in the Game,” “Start of Something New,” “Stick to the Status Quo,” along with new music from “High School Musical 2.”
Rich Ross, president, Disney Channel Worldwide, said, "We are so proud to have introduced ‘High School Musical’ to the world and to see its popularity continue to grow in so many ways. The ice tour is a fantastic way to build upon the experience for its millions of fans worldwide while introducing the music and dancing to a new audience."
"High School Musical," an Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel Original Movie, premiered in January 2006 in the U.S. and through the year, on 25 Disney Channels and free-to-air broadcasters, reaching over 100 countries and over 100 million unique viewers worldwide. In the U.S., its soundtrack was the #1 album of the year in 2006 (certified quadruple Platinum by the RIAA), and broke records on the Billboard charts with an unprecedented nine original songs making the "Hot 100." It was the #1 TV movie on DVD for the year and sold 7.2 million units have been sold around the world. In fall 2006, Disney Theatrical adapted the teleplay for local school productions, and it is anticipated that 2000 schools will produce stage versions in the first year alone.
Schumacher added, “The first of our regional professional theatre licensed productions was a huge success earlier this year during its five-week run in Atlanta’s Theatre of the Stars, and we’re currently in discussions on how to tour that production starting later this year. Additionally, by June of this year, more than 1,000 schools will have licensed and staged the show, representing an unprecedented 5,000 performances.”
Internationally, “High School Musical” has aired on Disney Channels (26 worldwide) and free-to-air broadcasters, reaching over 100 countries. For the September 2006 premiere in India, the music was re-recorded in Hindi with Indian instrumentation and more rhythmic beats to achieve a “Bollywood” sound.
Adding to its success, “High School Musical” has spawned a #1 New York Times bestseller – “High School Musical – The Novel,” which has sold over 1.2 million copies. “High School Musical” was also the first TV movie to be offered on the iTunes Music Store. “High School Musical” themed shows have also proven to be popular at the Disney Theme Parks and Resorts, including Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and an upcoming production at Disneyland Paris.
