MANILA, Philippines - Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato will rock the house in a rock ‘n roll musical that celebrates the freedom of summer and the message of enjoying one’s journey. Part of the blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie franchise that introduced a generation to contemporary movie musicals, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam premieres Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. on Disney Channel.
The summer of fun opens with a high-pitched reunion. All the Camp Rockers have returned and nobody’s more excited than Mitchie, who anticipates more than a summer of music. Then fresh from a world tour, the rock band Connect 3 is hanging out all summer — Shane to pursue last summer’s crush on Mitchie, and his band mates as moral support. Guitar legend Brown Cesario, Camp Rock’s owner, is all set to rock ‘n roll, too.
But not all is fantastic at the rocking teen paradise when across the lake glistens the new Camp Star: A high-tech, big-money music camp funded by Brown’s former band mate-with-a-grudge, Axel Turner. Down-to-earth Camp Rock may have passion, talent and commitment, but Camp Star boasts resources, infrastructure and money — enough to poach Camp Rock’s counselors and put them out of business.
Natural born leader named Mitchie, who vows to save her beloved camp and her friends’ summer, organizes the older Camp Rockers into counselors and keeps the camp running. She steps it up again by challenging the egocentric Camp Star to a final jam — an end-of-summer performance duel.
