Nickelodeon doesn't want Disney to have all the high school fun….or money!
On April 21st, Nick will kick off filming Spectacular — their answer to the Mouse's High School Musical.
Are rip-offs ever as good as the original???
Spectacular centers on a preppy high school girl who is part of the school's Spectacular choir. The group is in sad shape, with its most talented members either having graduated or been stolen away by a rival squad. The preppy sees salvation in a cocky rock guy who reluctantly joins the choir to win a money prize that would finance his rock 'n' roll dreams. But the rocker doesn't factor in falling for the preppy girl.
Hmmmm….
If it's more like Mean Girls meets Bring It On and less like HSM, then we'd be very interested to see it!
Nick's people are also making it a point to say the songs in Spectacular will be performance-based rather than featuring characters suddenly breaking out into song like they do in High School Musical.
Whatever… it's still a knock off!
We're not so sure about this. It better be damn good to get over the knock off vibe.
Plus, Nick doesn't have the Zefron!
