What is High School Musical about?

Based on the hit Disney Channel Original Movie that inspired a generation, what High School Musical is about at its core, is never being afraid of stepping outside of the box. When basketball star Troy Bolton and academically gifted Gabriella Montez challenge expectations and discover who they really are, East High is sent into a frenzy. Alongside their friends — and rivals — at East High, they navigate first love, friendship and self-discovery, all while juggling classes, basketball games, auditions and the pressure to fit in.

Meet the Characters of High School Musical

You already know and love them, but we’re here to give you a reminder of the East High gang. 

• Troy Bolton - The basketball teen-heartthrob who has a secret passion for singing. Can he do both in a school outraged by defying the status quo? 
• Gabriella Montez - The shy new-girl with a brain, a heart, and a voice. The love interest of Troy Bolton, even if it is on and off again throughout the movie trilogy.
• Sharpay Evans - The ultimate drama-queen of East High, she demands what she wants and gets it. And my god, do we all still want her pink wardrobe? Or is it just me?
• Ryan Evans - Brother to Sharpay, and side-kick to protect the drama club from outsiders. Talented in his own right, but often overshadowed by his larger than life sister. 
• Chad Danforth - Best friend to Troy. He’s a jock through and through, he doesn’t dance and he especially doesn’t sing. It would be ludicrous to be doing both at the same time. Basketball is the air he breathes. 
• Taylor McKessie - Best friend to Gabriella, with a bright academic future ahead of her. The status quo protects her future especially when Gabriella can help her get to the finals of the scholastic decathlon.
