ATTRACTION

The High School Musical Pep Rally is a traveling stage show. Its route runs from the gates next to the entrance to Hollywood and around the Sunshine Plaza, then through the Golden State area before ending near the Orange Stinger in the Paradise Pier area. It stops in two places: Sunshine Plaza and Paradise Pier near the Golden Dreams theater; for a 15-minute performance.

The energetic singers and dancers get the audience involved as they perform several songs from the movie High School Musical, including "Get'cha Head in the Game," "What I've Been Looking For," "Stick to the Status Quo", and "We're All in This Together." During a high-energy basketball number, guests have the opportunity to try their hand at shooting baskets. The cheerleaders and basketball players enlist audience members to come out and join them as they learn the Wildcat cheer routine: "Wildcats everywhere, wave your hands up in the air!"

TOURING TIPS

Including the two performance stops the Pep Rally takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. With performances several times a day there's not usually too big a crowd, but for a front-row spot, arrive a few minutes early. The stage stops along the outer edge of Sunshine Plaza, between the Greetings from California Store and the Information booth. The other stop is in front of the Golden Dreams theater.

To participate in shooting hoops or learning the cheer routine, stand near the front.
