High School Musical centers on the
unlikely friendship that evolves between the
jock Troy and brainiac Gabriella at a karaoke
contest. Little did the two know that she would
be transferring to his school. The duo decide -
against their friends' wishes and to the dismay
of school stars (a drama queen and her twin
brother) - to audition for the high school
musical.
High School Musical - the stage
version of the popular musical -made its debut
on the stage at New York's Stagedoor Manor (in
August) and will continue to flourish at
regional theatres across the country in the
coming year.
A sequel to "High School Musical," is already
in the works. The movie was released on DVD and
the soundtrack is also available on CD
