===Main characters=== |

*'''Devin Daniels''' (played by [[Luke Benward]])<ref name="Press Release">{{cite news| title=Disney Channel casts pilot for musical comedy "Madison High" (press release)| author=Disney Channel|url=http://www.disneychannelmedianet.com/DNR/2011/madison_021711.doc| accessdate=April 9, 2011}}</ref> – a confident, laid-back athletics expert with more intelligence than he lets on. Even though he's masculine and athletic in [[motocross]], he yearns for something more. |
|||
*'''Wednesday Malone''' (played by [[G. Hannelius]])<ref name="Press Release"/> – an overachiever driven to be an actress. So focused on success, she skipped a grade or two and tries to look older than she actually is. |
|||
* '''Peyton Hall''' (played by Leah Lewis)<ref name="Press Release"/> – an indie-rock band member at Madison High. She is a fiercely independent, witty socialite and a natural actress unaware of her talent. |
|||
*'''Cherry O'Keefe''' (played by Katherine McNamara)<ref name="Press Release"/> – a future-chic [[fashionista]] who found stardom among her peers by starting an extremely popular high school website. Initially shy, she has morphed into a self-entitled celebrity who will do anything to get what she wants. She's also the villain and is similar to Sharpay Evans. |
|||
*'''Harvey Flynn''' (played by [[Mark Indelicato]])<ref name="Press Release"/> – a know-it-all perfectionist who is president of the drama club and a stage manager. With his sights on Broadway, Harvey will do anything to get his way. |
|||
*'''Colby Baker''' (played by [[Nolan Sotillo]])<ref name="Press Release"/> – an eccentric [[otaku]] and the cousin of Peyton who sees the world like a comic-book. Obsessed with manga, he is a great artist but shy about his talent. |

* '''Ms. Darbus''' (played by [[Alyson Reed]])<ref name="Press Release"/> – the drama teacher who gets relocated from East High to Madison High. She occasionally mentions the characters from the [[High School Musical (film series)|''High School Musical'' films]]. |
