Last night, the opening of High School Musical: The Ice Tour began with a special treat for children from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dallas and The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Clubs. Loaded with pom-poms, megaphones, and lots of energy the children waited at the Red Carpet Spirit Rally just outside of the Old No. 7 Club for the stars of the show to arrive.

Stars Arrive
Our favorite East High Wildcats arrived two by two in black stretch limos and were met by the loud screams of their young fans. The energy only intensified as the show’s beautiful and fabulous, Sharpay Evans (Kristin Treni) arrived with her brother Ryan (Adam Loosley) and paraded down the red carpet. The stars of the show then had photos taken with each of the Boys and Girls Club groups and mingled with the crowd of fans before the show.
One dollar from the purchase price of each ticket sold to the opening night performance went to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to support local youth organizations.
Opening Night
After enjoying cookies, pretzels and lemonade with the stars, the young guests from the Red Carpet Spirit Rally took their seats and enjoyed a fabulous opening night.
A combination of songs and scenes from High School Musical I and II, this version’s dance floor is the ice and the stars skating skills are tested as the choreography involved everything from cheerleading to basketball.
The cheerful messages of the energetic ice show,
“Don’t give up!”
“Work it out together!”
“There’s a silver lining to every cloud!”
was demonstrated as each of the skaters flew flawlessly through the entire performance.
Amazing skating tricks wowed the young crowd, who eagerly sang along with every song. The fan favorite, “We’re All in This Together, remained in my head as I tried to make my way through the crowds of fans lining up at each of the merchandise stands after the performance.
You can still catch the wildcat frenzy of High School Musical: The Ice Tour all this week as performances run through Sunday at American Airlines Center.
