High Energy in "High School Musical 2" Chesley Plemmons, Theater Critic, The News-Times
Is energy an art form in itself? Before you jump to a conclusion, take a look at the high-voltage performances rocking the TriArts Sharon Playhouse, where Walt Disney's "High School Musical 2" is currently being staged. I need say nothing to win the attention of the young audience members who flocked to see the movies in this series and now enjoy the stage versions.  Troy's Transformation (Bobby Gouse) - he's "Fabulous" – photo Randy O'Rourke I also know the title, with its air of Disney wholesomeness, is likely to give "serious" theatergoers an attack of generational snobbery. In all fairness, this sweet, sappy story about high school romances and dreams of winning a summer talent show is no more juvenile than the Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movies we fell in love with decades ago.
