Description of High School Musical: The Concert:
If you already own the High School Musical soundtrack, this live version may be a bit redundant; on the other hand, many of us just can't get enough of these songs, and it's fun to hear the stars of the movie perform them with live energy against a background of screaming fans--who occasionally sing along at the top of their lungs, as on "Breaking Free." The biggest change is that Zac Efron (Troy) didn't participate and was replaced by Drew Seeley. But Seeley acquits himself well of the task, particularly on his two big duets with Vanessa Hudgens, "What I've Been Looking For" and "Breaking Free." The former, as fans of the movie know, gets repeated in a super-poppy version sung by Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) and Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay), the kind of energetic performers who so often steal the spotlight from the nominal stars. In addition, Hudgens, Seeley, Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu (Chad) boost their solo careers by getting to perform bonus songs; they are from their respective albums but completely fit in the HSM sound. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
High School Musical: The Concert Reviews:
. 
2007-11-19 - This is a rehash of the soundtrack, but is good for notice to finally be taken that Zac Efron did NOT sing in HSM. In a Disney interview he said that for that reason he was not part of the tour. He does sing in HSM2 (fairly well at that).
all in this together 
2007-11-12 - This is a good buy even if you didnt see the concert. Good for all ages and you actually get to hear everyone's singing voice. If you have seen the movie or saw the concert this is a good item to add to your collection of High School Musical Products.
HSM Rocks!!!
2007-08-01 - My kids loved this DVD. They can't wait for HSM 2 on Disney. They also would like to see the concert live. Great show!
Good but... 
2007-07-28 - It is good but it is missing stuff. Not all of the solo's from Ashley, Corbin and Vanessa is in it. The makers are talking about 6 stars when they are really leaving the 7th star in the shadows. That star is Jordan Pruitt. She is not in it when the opener should be. She opens the show so she should be in the CD.
Lets Put on a Show
2007-06-28 - Those fans of High School Musical-If you remember the old Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland (KIDS LETS PUT ON A SHOW) movies, it is similar in vein..has taken the High School Musiacalmovie one step farther than the film did, The Concert.
Lets say it this way, ITS great entertainment!if you have not gone, go to the show. I wanted to go with my nieces and could not. I did viuw the concert DVD and I was Hooked. Note you do not need to see the movie to enjoy this show
These young preformers (all from the cast of HSM) put on a show that capture the spirit of the movie..thanks to their talent and the magic of Disney. It is great family entertainment, which many have gone away from.
The soundtrack recording is a live version of the show and allows the CD audience a chance to relive the moments and groove with it again. Long after the stage show is a memory. This could play on Broadway for the closing Disney Beauty and Beast
and on disk two is a 5 cut DVD on the concert to enjoy, Is it worth it. Well its NO Mickey and Judy, but it works as great fun-so listen and watch the magic with your kids, relations and others who are tween aged
