A contemporary musical based on the much-loved Disney movie of the same name, High School Musical is the story of Troy, a popular high school baskeball star and Gabriella, a shy, academically gifted newcomer who discover they share a passion for singing. When they sign up to audition for the lead roles in the school musical it threatens the rigid social order and sends the school into an uproar. In a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo, the 'jocks', 'brainiacs' and even the drama club are soon hatching convoluted plots to separate the pair and keep them off stage.
