I’ve been asleep at the switch for this one – I knew it was coming, and even posted it on my milestones, but it’s been so quiet lately, I forgot I hadn’t contacted Storybook for an interview or written an article. I happened to sneak a peak at a rehearsal when I was at the theatre for Rapunzel and think this one could be more interesting than I’d originally thought – and it has a huge cast, which is always fun. You can hear the music on publisher MTI’s website, to get a sense of it.
Here’s what the Storybook website has to say:
Based on the hit Disney Channel Original Movies Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (starring teen idols Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers) will fire up your stage with over a dozen songs, including “This Is Me,” “Can’t Back Down,” “It’s On,” and “We Rock.” A classic story of rivalry and power, Disney’s CAMP ROCK: The Musical opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. But the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock’s very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers, and gets them into top shape for the ultimate showdown
Camp Rock runs Wednesday to Sunday at Storybook’s new theatre in Beddington from March 1 to March 17. It’s suitable for age 8 and up. For more information, go to Storybook Theatre. Tickets are $12-$26. The Calgary Musicals+ Meetup Group is going on Wednesday March 13, if you’d like to join us.
