"Experience the exhilarating journey of young pop idols navigating fame and friendship in 'Pop Star'."

From: Pop/Rock Musicals for Teens

Synopsis

Westfield High School is the next stop for Pop Star, a nationally televised talent search that will make some lucky high school student the next American Idol.

When the show's sleazy host and his put-upon assistant roll in with the cameras, the strain of competition pits friend against friend.

Who will be chosen: Densie, the spoiled rich girl?

Jessica, the Jewish rapper who is ashamed of her heritage?

Chanel, an African-American whose white boyfriend is afraid to let people know they are in love?

Before petty jealousies and racial tensions tear the school apart, the students realize that sticking together is more important than winning.

Fast-paced and fun.

Pop Star is propelled by an infectious pop rock score that includes 11 original songs.
