If you haven't heard, High School Musical: Get in the Picture debuts this weekend. Will we get to witness the making of the next Troy, Gabriella, maybe even Sharpay?
Don't know what it's about? From the press release:
Pop star Nick Lachey hosts as talent scouts Regina Williams, Jennifer Malenke and Chris Prinzo hold surprise regional auditions across the western half of the United States, as well as a massive open casting call in Long Beach, California. Top performers will go on to the semifinals which air Monday, July 21. The series runs Sundays and Mondays (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) for three weeks, then continues Mondays (at 8:00 p.m., ET) through mid-September.Will your family be watching Do you know anyone who auditioned? Discuss in the comments.
The first four episodes of the series will focus on the nationwide auditions. Twelve finalists will ultimately participate in a summer music program to hone their skills, and one talented newcomer will become a part of High School Musical history. The winner will literally “get in the picture” when that person stars in a music video shown in the end credits of the feature film, Disney’s “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” opening this fall. In addition, the winner will also receive an exclusive talent hold agreement with ABC and a recording contract for two singles with Walt Disney Records, one of which will be a version of the song from the music video.
