I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

  • High School Musical 2 Review | Music Reviews and News
    High School Musical 2 Review | Music Reviews and News Image credit: Adam Larkey HAVIN' A BALL Efron (front) works from the same playbook in High School Musical 2, but still comes up a winner EW says... Min. Age 7-9 Yrs Old The way the music biz has been going, it figures that the biggest album of 2006 was an ancillary product. But as celebrated offshoots go, the quadruple-platinum soundtrack to High School Musical - - last year's top cable draw and the best-selling TV-movie DVD ever -- was a darned effective souvenir. A song like ''Start of Something New'' could provide modest pleasure on its own. Combine it with the insanely cute chemistry between Vanessa Hudgens (bookworm Gabriella) and Zac Efron (jock Troy) -- she with those (virginal) bedroom eyes, he with those perpetually surprised peepers -- and it's suddenly transcendent pop, for anyone able to recall or anticipate the first flush of puppy love. With High School Musical 2, the franchise is putting its music foot first. The soundtrack arrives Aug. 14, three days before the sequel's Disney Channel premiere -- a gap that'll give kids (and parents) time to commit every lyric to memory, making the movie's first airing a full-on karaoke experience. While this material won't upstage the Rodgers and Hammerstein legacy, it is on par with the previous soundtrack's sweet, crafty fun. Just as the sequel has the same creators (and the films feel like they were shot back-to-back), the new album mostly uses the original's songwriting teams and templates.
