If you fall into the post-tween age group, your experience of a little phenomenon called "High School Musical" might be limited. But say "We're all in this together" to anyone between the ages of 9 and 13, and you're likely to get a rousing chorus of one of "High School Musical's" nine chart-topping songs and probably a few fancy hip-hop moves to go along with it.
One of the Disney Channel's most popular movies, "High School Musical" has garnered hundreds of millions of young fans around the world in the past two years. The movie's soundtrack went quadruple platinum, and last year a rock-concert-style tour featuring the film's stars sold out in 40 cities, with the Beatlemania-esque shrieks of young fans shattering eardrums across North America.
The rousing popularity of the movie has spun off one sequel already, another is in the works for this summer and there's even an ice-show version making its way around the world. Now, for those who just can't get enough of the story of handsome jock Troy Bolton, shy, bookish Gabriella Montez and their struggle to break free of stereotypes and win roles in the school musical, the high-energy, Broadway-style stage production of "High School Musical" comes to San Francisco, opening Tuesday at the Orpheum Theatre.
