Posted: 3/19/10 at 12:10amWow, they are really hell bent on watering down the market with their own product, aren't they?

Posted: 3/21/10 at 5:25pmI wonder why MTI announced it if it wasn't true. Perhaps it WAS true, but for once logic prevailed with the Glee powers that be and they pulled the plug.

Posted: 3/21/10 at 5:47pmI know this is a HORRIBLE idea, but I can't help but get a little excited anyways. Still, a horrible idea, along with whatever Avenue G is.

Posted: 3/21/10 at 8:11pmThe thought of an "Avenue G" actually coming to fruition makes me want to kill someone.

To be fair, the stage versions of High School Musical are MUCH better than the films they were inspired by, as the stage shows are played with a much-more tongue in cheek sense of satire towards the material than the somewhat serious films.
Plus, the music is reorchestrated in sort of a "retro pop" style rather than the techno/hip-hop sounds of the film. This is mild in HSM 1 Live, and almost jarring in HSM 2 Live, which seems to be set more than 20 years before the film.

Please tell me this is all a bad dream...
God, I hate MTI. Always have, always will.

Posted: 3/22/10 at 10:03amThese are the people who give the rights to perform HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2. All of my friends, theatre nerd or not, hate this idea. Even my hardcore Gleeks/friends loathe the idea. Just do a summer tour each year and we're done.
#18MTI to work on Glee for the Stage
Posted: 3/22/10 at 10:07amAn absolutely horrible idea. Glad this was debunked. Talk about saturating the market...
#19MTI to work on Glee for the Stage
Posted: 3/22/10 at 3:53pmYou have no idea how glad I was when this was proven false. This is the worst idea ever. I love the show and would hate for it to be ruined by a terrible stage version.

romgitssean-
What do you have against MTI? I've always found them to be a fairly good company to work with, and a lot of their advances (rehearsascores, etc) have really helped school and community productions.
Besides, aren't you 17? How much have you actually dealt with MTI?
