More High School Musical

Just when I think we've seen it all related to the Disney hit High School Musical, something else comes along! We just saw High School Musical at the Muny last night and it was very entertaining.

I happened to have three daughters in the target age range when the first movie came out. They couldn't watch it enough, like most every other 'tween and teen in the country.
Since then we've seen High School Musical the concert, High School Musical on stage at the Fox, High School Music on Ice and now High School Musical at the Muny! Yes, that's a lot of High School Musical. I've enjoyed each one for different reasons. I love that there are always kids in the audience singing along to the songs. I love the theme about being true to yourself and not just "going along with the crowd". But I have no idea what type of production could possibly come next. A High School Musical themed circus?

I have to say, I'm ready for something new. The next frenzy may have something to do with the Jonas Brothers and their new Disney movie "Camp Rock". Will it too appear on ice, concert stage and Muny stage? Only time will tell.

ABOUT ME

: Name: Wendy Erikson; Location: St. Louis, MO

Ever since I was a high school girl in Chicago, I wanted to be a television journalist. Here I am, eighteen years in the business and I haven't had a boring day on the job yet! I started out reporting on fires, crime and school board meetings. When the news schedule got a little too difficult for juggling my job and my growing family, I was given a wonderful opportunity to join Show Me St. Louis. Now I spend my days checking out new places to shop, eat and play! I also get to meet interesting people on a daily basis.

I love the fact that Show Me St. Louis is a source of "fun" information for people. Where's a good place to have a birthday party? What's the new exhibit at the Art Museum. What restaurant has a romantic setting for two parents in desperate need for a "no kids" night out? When and where is the Hannah Montana concert? It's all information I am interested in as a wife and mother of three girls. It helps to work with such talented people on Show Me St. Louis, from the producers, to the photographers, to my on-air pals, Lewis and Courtney. We have some stress, but mostly a great time getting Show Me St. Louis on the air every day. I feel so fortunate to have a job I enjoy after so much after all these years!
