Where are my Wildcats at?! We’ve got High School Musical: The Musical details for you!
This will be a 10-episode show set to debut on Disney’s still unnamed digital streaming service. It will be shot docu-style with the audience meeting and following a group of students and their theacher at East High. These students are gearing up for their winter theater production of High School Musical. Although they soon learn that the stage isn’t the only place you’ll find drama.
Fans of the original movie musical will be excited to hear that each episode will feature a new rendition of a song they know and love. But there will also be one original song in each episode – which I’m really looking forward to!
Tim Federle (Ferdinand) and Oliver Goldstick (Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars) are serving as executive producers. Casting is being done by Julie Ashton who is currently searching for eight series regulars.
Casting is underway for Ricky, the star and Nini’s ex. He joined the musical to win her back. Nini is a born star, especially after she got a confidence boost at summer camp starting as the lead in The Music Man. She’s come back with a new boyfriend after her summer away. That new love is E.J., who is ambitious and also auditioning for the lead role in the musical!
Ashlyn is the bold and brash new girl and E.J.’s cousin. Then there is Big Red, Ricky’s life-long wingman! He may or may not have a crush on his best friend’s ex, Nini. Gina is a pro with an equity card who worries that her best days are behind he and Vikram is the captain of the color guard and student choreographer of the musical. Rounding out the cast is the new drama teacher, Miss Jenn.
A release date has not yet been set, but this show has all the makings of a showstopper!
