Let me just go on the record here and tell you that you truly haven't seen real musical theatre until you've seen Nutley, New Jersey's Parks and Recreation Department's Winter Theatre Presentation of the Disney Channel Original movie, High School Musical.
For those of you just back from the moon, High School Musical is, like, only the biggest kid phenomenon since someone LTAO for the first time.
Apparently now it's gone beyond the pop charts, beyond the iTunes download, beyond the DVD special editions (there are two), beyond the soundtrack karaoke version, beyond the touring show (sadly not on ice), and has made its way into your hometown's TOTALY REAL ACTUAL HIGH SCHOOL.
So, check your local paper for showtime/school, but I seriously doubt it will top the 210-cast member production that I saw this afternoon in Nutley.
This clip from the University of Michigan's Musical Theatre department doing a HSM melody comes pretty close though...
