They handed him a mic to talk to the crowd right after. I am pretty sure it will all be edited in.
I was meant to dance it but the music was NOT as loud as they said it would be so we missed our cue! They had told us to wait inside the stores and to blend in until a certain part of the song. I popped my head out the store to see what was happening about 2 minutes before the scheduled time and they were just about finished with it so I only got to do the very end

I got to dance and it was a great experience. It was hilarious hearing people say, "look, they're doing High School Musical" when people first started randomly dancing. Then they tried to get a closer look not realizing they were right in the middle of a huge group that was about to erupt in dance very shortly. The look on Lin's face was priceless.
Here's a pic after when Lin getting mobbed by a whole lot of people

This thread is such a tease! I want the vid!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

IT WAS F*CKING CRAZY, Y'ALL.
I have a video from my crappy Kodak Easyshare perspective, but it doesn't really do it justice. To see old ladies and little kids build into 300 people, doing a dance to a song you wrote. Can't wait for the edited video to emerge.
I was there for a "press event," having dinner with some fans as part of some sweepstakes. I was totally surprised. Thanks to the Pantages and Flash Mob USA, and all of y'all who learned all that. Aight. Gotta go do Act Two. Thanks again!

There seem to be several groups that do them. The one that organized this is called Flash Mob America. It's the first one I've participated in and I only found out about it through the Pantages twitter account.
Speaking of, they put up this teaser one. They said "official one coming soon" so keep your eyes peeled :)
