Demi Lovato attended Disney's Camp Rock New York Premiere on June 11. Lovato plays the dancing and singing Cinderella Mitchie Torres in the movie.
"It feels incredible, it feels like a dream," said the 15-year-old Demi Lovato. "I didn't know I had that many fans. I looked up as they screamed my name, and I was like, 'Cool! You know my name?'"
Camp Rock, aka the next High School Musical, tells the dancing and singing Cinderella story of Mitchie Torres, a teen with an amazing voice and a driving ambition to be a pop singer who wants to spend her summer at a prestigious rock camp.
Unfortunately, an expensive music camp is a bit out of reach for her family, but her mother gets a job as Camp Rock's cook so that Mitchie can attend as long as she helps out in the kitchen between classes.
Befriended by fellow camp member Caitlyn (Alyson Stoner) but intimidated by the immensely talented Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin) and her friends Peggy (Jasmine Richards) and Ella (Anna Maria Perez de Tagle), Mitchie lives a double life hiding that she is the cook's daughter and posing as a well-to-do camper in order to become part of the hottest clique at camp.
When she's overheard singing, but not seen, by teen pop star and celebrity camp instructor, plus lead singer of Connect Three, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas), he is completely taken and sets out to find the girl behind the beautiful voice. Meanwhile, Mitchie will have to learn how to confront her fears, step out of the kitchen and into the spotlight as herself.
Alyson Stoner who played Caitlyn Geller in the film attended Disney's Camp Rock New York Premiere on June 11. Geller is Mitchie's best friend, and they met at Camp Rock.

She also has an intense rivalry with and, apparently, a hatred for Tess.
Meaghan Jette Martin who played Tess Tyler in the film attended Disney's Camp Rock New York Premiere on June 11. Tess Tyler is the female antagonist of the film. She went to Camp Rock to be "too cool" and wants to be a pop star. She is very popular but very mean to others, especially Mitchie, and even purposely blames Mitchie for stealing her charm bracelet so that she can be banned from all camp activities.
Anna Maria Perez de Tagle who played Ella in the film attended Disney's Camp Rock New York Premiere on June 11. Ella is one of Tess's best friends. She follows Tess around and does whatever she tells her to do, although she isn't as completely mean as Tess. Ella is the girly girl of the mean girl clique; she's obsessed with lip gloss and nail polish. One of the reasons why she is friends with Tess is because she wants to be popular. She's also supposedly dumb, as seen in the trailer, where she has a dilemma of choosing between two nail polish the exact same color.
Jasmine Richards who played Peggy Warburton in the film attended Disney's Camp Rock New York Premiere on June 11. Peggy Warburton is one of Tess's best friends and is part of Tess' group. She isn't quite as cruel as Tess but is still more so than Ella. Other than tagging along with them, she dreams of being a famous guitarist and singer.
