Do you like High School Musical?

The new High School Musical film is in cinemas and thousands of kids want to see it. One cinema in Norwich, England shows the film at 9 o’clock in the morning on a Wednesday. Teachers are not happy. Why? Because students go to the cinema – and they don’t go to school! Lauren, 14, thinks this is OK : “The film is good – It tells kids to do great things.”

Would you like to meet Zac Efron?
There is one place where you can – Madame Tussauds Museum in London. The problem is – he’s made of plastic! The museum has a model of the star. It costs £150,000! (€186,000) Liz Edwards, who works for Madame Tussauds, says: “We’ll have a lot of fans.”

And you?
Do you like Zac Efron?
