Originally Posted By believe Yes, Newsies was a fine movie. However, we're trying to get people to goto DCA. Most people haven't heard of Newsies, while HS Musical is "in" for the time being - and will continue to be "in". They already have a sequel planned for next summer, and they have plans for a broadway play. So why not do it at DCA first?

Originally Posted By Roger55 I don't agree with either high school musical or newsies. Neither would appeal to a large segment of the Guests. This incudes adults and foriegn visitors. Bad idea IMO. Targeting tweens is only good if they bring their money carrying parents or guardians along.
Originally Posted By stagemomx3 "Targeting tweens is only good if they bring their money carrying parents or guardians along." Don't the younger kids that are the target now also need to bring along their money carrying adults?
Originally Posted By Roger55 ^^ Yes, younger kids almost ALWAYS come with adults. I don't see unaccompanied minors ever at DLR unless they are lost.
Originally Posted By Roger55 Dang! Hit the submit before finishing my thought... sorry. It is my opinion that tweeners don't necessary have adults in tow.

Originally Posted By believe If you look at the stats, the demographics for 36 million viewers of HSM were of all ages - not just tweens. I'm definitely not a tween and I enjoyed it very much. I think IMO and using the stats, it would be enjoyed by the whole family.

Originally Posted By believe actually, Zac Efrom (Troy), is 18, and he just graduated High School. And, supposedly, they did all their own singing. Oh well, another lost opportunity. This summer would have been perfect for this play. Could have brought in extra guests to the park.
Originally Posted By lil_kim2005 Nope, pretty sure Zac Efron's voice was dubbed because he couldn't reach all the notes. That's all I'm suggesting, I don't see why they didn't just let him do the singing since he seems like he has a deeper voice and he's also a good singer, himself (he's going to be in the 2007 movie for Hairspray). Regardless, the entire atmosphere was very middle school-ish, and the whole thing was too G-rated to be high school. =P Maybe if they threw in an Ode to Pot Smokers or something along those lines, heh. Pardon meeeeee....

They were pretty excited!
