HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 A HUGE HIT IN U.K., TOO

Disney Channel's High School Musical 2 has turned out to be almost as big a hit in the U.K. as it was when it premiered to a record number of viewers in the U.S. last month. A showing on Disney Channel U.K. averaged 1.2 million viewers, 63 percent of them between the ages of 4 and 15. In a statement, Disney Channel UK managing director Rob Gilby said: "Kids around the world are as enthusiastic as ever for High School Musical and these U.K. viewing figures for the sequel show there is continued appreciation for the music, the characters and the stories kids find relevant to their lives."
