OlderVictoria Justice & Simon Curtis: Good Day LA!
Spectacular! stars Victoria Justice and Simon Curtis stopped by Good Day LA this morning to promote their new Nick movie-musical.
The duo, who play rival show choir leaders Royce and Tami, dished about the movie and tackled the constant comparison between Spectacular! and the popular High School Musical.
Victoria shared, “I think that people are comparing us to High School Musical because we do have music in Spectacular! but honestly, they weren’t the first to do musicals. There were tons of musicals way before that.”
Simon added, “Triple threats are a big thing right now. You know — singing, dancing, acting. All three. We’d like to think we’re capable of all three.”
Check out the full interview below and tune into Spectacular! TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon.

HSM Rocked!
i think high school musical is the only one
it’s a bad idea comparing cuz hsm is original
WHAT THE HELL!! omg whatever because omg hsm is WAY million times better ok btw most all other musicals r DUMB!! well ya go hsm they better shutup ok cuz HSM rox!!
you rock varisha #9
immature^^^
i think it will be an okay movie, but i dont think nick is trying to copy disney, in a article i read it said nick was think about the idea of a musical in 2005!
As much as they would hate to admit it, musical movies started becoming cooler to do after High School Musical so I think movies like Camp Rock and this movie owe some of their success to High School Musical. But don’t get me wrong, this movie sounds like fun and I WILL watch it.
high school musical is better by like a billion times.
HSM may not be the FIRST musical……but it is what started modern musicals. It’s the reason why movie musicals are back and why everyone else are doing it too (but unfortunately the ones after HSM SUCKED….besides Hairspray I guess)!!!
Also, casting people that are Zac and Vanessa look alikes for the lead roles is definitely not original, no wonder they’re being compared.
HSM will be remembered by a lot of people!!!! Spectacular will just be another ‘one hit wonder’……There’s really nothing to compare because I KNOW that Spectacular will not even come close to the success and fame that HSM had.
Spectacular would be nothing compared to high school musical!
Sure, there were a lot of musicals before that, but none of them were as GREAT as high school musical!
:)
High School Musical brought musicals back into style among the teen and preteen crowd. It’s an original. Even the second and the thrid couldn’t compare to the first. This “Spectacular” looks anything but, and I feel as if it’s just another rip off of what HSM is all about. They need to stop pretending that they aren’t trying to imitate HSM’s success with this movie.
But the problem is that they are trying too hard. With HSM, they weren’t trying to make it a hit, and that’s why it became one, because it was a huge surprise. With HSM 2 and 3 the whole purpose was to make another hit, same with Camp Rock. That’s why those didn’t do as well, and that’s why this one won’t either.
spectacular is just an emo version of high school musical.
nickelodeon would’ve never even considered doing a musical if they hadn’t seen their opponent, disney channel, have the HUGE success of high school musical, that it did.
stop trying to copy high school musical.
it’ll never be as good as high school musical.
I don’t know who Victoria thinks she is saying that HSM wasn’t the first musical or anything. Sure it wasn’t, but would Spectacular (cheesy name, btw) ever been made if it weren’t for HSM? Sorry, but no.The girl needs a reality check. Spectacular looks horrible anyways.
Haha she is dumb.
HSM > every other musical now days,
SHUT THE F UP VICTORIA UR A TERRIBLE ACTREESSS
HSM ALL THE WAY
i agree with #21 liza
HSM ALL THE WAY!!
VICTORIA U SUCK!!
to #15,
hold it,
do u just say sweeney todd suck ? enchanted ? mamma mia ?
OMG…
HSM is not even the first Disney Musical…
I just think it was the best though….
and people think Camp Rock is a copy of HSM even though it’s not a musical.
As much as talented Demi is, Camp Rock definitely sucks.
And Spectacular is like a copy of it so it’s like Double Suck… hahaha
( the format anyway, maybe I like it when I see it )
HSM FOREVER!
I can’t believe Nickelodeon thinks they have the next big thing on their hands – HELLOOO! Did you see Disney sending Zac, Vanessa, Ashley, Lucas, Corbin and Monique onto various different shows, meet and greets, signings, and any other kind of promotion BEFORE HSM came out? NO. The only promo HSM1 ever received prior to its release date was of Disney’s own doing though advertisements on buses and putting posters in malls to get kids to download some of the songs and tune into Disney Channel on Friday night. That’s it. And it worked. In a way no one could have ever imagined. HSM blew into something huge, it became a life of its own and has since broken too many records to count, the cast have become international sensations and everyone loved the story despite its cliched cheesiness. It’s clean, it’s fun, it was a modern spin on musicals and THAT’S why it became the phenomenon that it did.
Now we see all these other networks trying to duplicate HSM’s success – The American Mall, Camp Rock, Spectacular, and God knows what else they’ll come up with over the course of the next few years. They should stop trying so hard already and admit that nothing will EVER live up to HSM’s success, at least not damn near anytime soon. It took 30 years for musicals to REALLY make a comeback, and although HSM is different than Grease in most ways, the stories are universal, and that’s why they garnered the audience that they did.
Different timeframe, different generation, different characters, but the story is so relateable that people became fervently attached to them – you keep pushing the same-near story down people’s throats, they’ll tune it out until the next generation is ready for their story to lach onto.
HSM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Camp Rock & Spectacular.
Although I’m an HSM fan, it’s true, it WASNT the first. But it IS aimed toward the same audience.
Anyway, Spectacular aside, Vic is great!
