Drama High: The Real High School Musical

Last night on ABC's 20/20 they had the special Drama High , which chronicled the process of the beginning to end of the musical at Virginia's Westfield High, it showed through the auditions to the final curtain call. The students did a production of " The Wiz" which was a remake of the " Wizard Of Oz" with an all African American cast, but the school since it is in Virginia is mainly white with only a few black students , but the school pulls together through thick and thin even when roles in the musical are at stake , the students show that no matter what color, race,religion, gender, or sexual orientation we are , we are all still people and should be treated equally .Westfield High cast an African American girl as Dorothy who had an amazing voice and has also tried out for Idol since the musical, they also of course the characters the Tin Man, and The Cowardly Lion,and of course Toto played by a real dog ,and not put down this musical ,but we had to start auditions for High School Musical 3 in January 2007 and started rehearsal and production in February 2007, it took over 400 extras for the opening basketball scene, and constant struggles with shooting between the schools actual school times, and over 13 million dollars to make , so I think it was a pretty real High School Musical , don't you:)
