HSM3: A Night to Remember
October 14th, 2008 artmaster“A Night to Remember” also involves partner dancing—a cha-cha-cha. It’s the first of
many numbers in the film that take place on stage in the East High theatre auditorium.
“The original concept of this movie was always to have a big prom. So we attacked this in a new way, we’ve actually taken our prom and broken it up across the movie,” explains producer Bill Borden. “Preparation, rehearsal, performance and of course, the real prom—we get a taste of it all in the movie and in the end, we bring a big, unique, emotional moment to the prom.”
“With ‘A Night to Remember’ we suddenly find ourselves not at prom at all, but at rehearsal for a prom musical number,” explains Ortega.
“The play within a play, that’s my favorite thing about that number because when you first see it, you think that it’s part of the movie,” adds Ryne Sanborn. “But then you notice little things that show it’s a rehearsal. So it’s not really our prom, which is kind of cool.”
“Basically East High puts on the school play about ourselves,” explains Hudgens.
