Members of the cast from the popular movie reuniting for this special anniversary include Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman. The group taped nostalgic segments to air during the 10 year anniversary telecast at a high school gymnasium in suburban Los Anegeles. The gym was fulled decked out in East High Wild Cats decor that gave it a feel of being right back in the movie 10 years ago! Although Zac Efron isn’t on the special segments during the movie, he will still join the telecast through a special pre-taped message to High School Musical fans.
Radio Disney’s Ernie D also interviewed the cast, for a special to be seen during a “Radio Disney Insider” presented Thursday January 21 on the Disney Channel and the Radio Disney app.

ABC Family now known as Freeform will present “High School Musical” on Saturday, January 23 at 4:30 PM EST and Sunday, January 24 at 2:00 pm.
Gary Marsh, President adn Chief Creative Office of Disney Channels Worldwide said:
“Seeing the cast of High School Musical back together again reaffirms what made it special 10 years ago. It’s their optimism, their dedication and their extraordinary talent –as a group– that made this such an exceptional movie and cultural phenomenon. ten years later, the movie continues to delight audiences around the globe, not just for it’s memorable song and dance numbers, but for it’s universal themes that continue to resonate with fans everywhere – express yourself, believe in yourself and always follow your dreams.”
The now iconic Disney Channel Original Movie premiered January 20, 2006 delivering 7.7 million total viewed in the U.S.! At the time, the highest ratings for any telecast ever on Disney Channel. Around the word that year alone, it reached over 100 million unduplicated viewers. This fondly remembered movie also broke new ground as the first ever TV movie soundtrack to reach #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and went on to become the #1 album of 2006 as well as the #1 soundtrack and #1 Kids’ album of that year.
This is such an exciting event, and I for one can not wait! Were you a fan of High School Musical? Who else will be watching this special telecast?
