Returning to school, Troy sees Gabriella in his classroom. She explains that she just moved to [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]], and transferred to East High School over the break, and Troy shows her around the school. Drama Club president [[Sharpay Evans]] ([[Ashley Tisdale]]), East High's designated “Ice Princess”, assumes that Gabriella is interested in auditioning for the school musical. Wanting to eliminate competition, Sharpay has scholastic decathlon captain and Chem Club president, [[Taylor McKessie]] ([[Monique Coleman]]), investigate Gabriella's past academic achievements, which results in Taylor and Gabriella becoming friends.

During basketball practice, Troy is distracted by thoughts of Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing in addition to basketball ("Get'cha Head in the Game"). Gabriella and Troy go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her twin brother [[List of High School Musical characters#Ryan Evans|Ryan Evans]] ([[Lucas Grabeel]]) perform ("What I've Been Looking For"), but Troy and Gabriella are too shy to audition. When Gabriella gains the confidence to step forward once the auditions are unofficially "over", Troy offers to sing with her, but drama teacher Ms. Darbus ([[Alyson Reed]]) tells them they are too late and leaves. Kelsi Nielsen ([[Olesya Rulin]]), the musical's [[composer]], trips and drops her music all over the stage. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her, and sing together as Kelsi plays the piano ("What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)"). Overhearing their song, Ms. Darbus gives them a [[Audition|callback audition]].

When the callback list is posted, Sharpay discovers that she has competition for the lead role, and the Wildcats team is shocked that Troy has auditioned. Other students confess their own secret passions and talents ("Stick to the Status Quo"), alarming Taylor and Troy's best friend [[Chad Danforth]] ([[Corbin Bleu]]). Since Gabriella has agreed to join the scholastic decathlon team, both Taylor and Chad want their teammates to focus on their upcoming competitions rather than the musical. In the locker room, Troy is tricked by his teammates into saying that Gabriella is not important, which she watches via a hidden webcam the scholastic decathlon team set up in cahoots with the basketballers. Upset by Troy’s betrayal ("When There Was Me and You") Gabriella decides not to audition for the musical.

Troy, confused by Gabriella’s decision, is unable to concentrate on the game, and Gabriella is also seen in low spirits. Realizing their mistake, Chad and the basketball team tell Troy what happened and offer to support him in callbacks, and Troy goes to Gabriella's house and they reconcile.

High School Musical is a 2006 American musical television film written by Peter Barsocchini, directed by Kenny Ortega. It is the first installment in the High School Musical trilogy.

With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet,[2] High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques – Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), a shy transfer student who excels in mathematics and science.[3] Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and this causes division among all the school's students. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella aim to resist peer pressure and rivalry and wish to inspire others along the way not to "stick to the status quo". However, they have to battle high school diva Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) and her twin brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), who seek to sabotage the friendship and romance between Troy and Gabriella and gain the leads in the school musical.

High School Musical was filmed in Utah, with East High School[4] and Murray High School used as locations, as well as Salt Lake City. Murray High School was also the set of other Disney productions: Take Down (1979), Read It and Weep (2006), Minutemen (2008),[5] and High School Musical: Get in the Picture (2008).[6] Additional scenes were filmed in Los Angeles.

Upon its release on January 20, 2006, it became the most commercially successful Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) ever produced.[7][8][9] In the U.S., High School Musical generated 7.7 million viewers in its premiere broadcast, which is one of the highest the network has generated.[10] Internationally, the film has also seen considerable success; as of 2019, High School Musical has been estimated to have been broadcast to over 225 million viewers.[11][12] Meanwhile, the film's soundtrack was also successful as it peaked at number one in the United States, while its lead single, "Breaking Free", reached number four.[13] The film and soundtrack received generally mixed reviews from critics, whereas fan reception was more positive.[14]

The film's success spawned a media franchise and series of sequels, High School Musical 2 (2007) and High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008), with the latter also being released theatrically. It is the first DCOM to have a theatrical sequel.[15] Upon the film's tenth anniversary in January 2016, Hudgens, Tisdale, Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman reunited in a Los Angeles high school gym (decorated to resemble the gym used in the film) to commemorate and celebrate its release, while Efron sent a video to acknowledge the film's cast, crew, and fans.

Plot

On New Year's Eve, high school juniors Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) meet at a ski lodge party during winter break. The two are called upon to sing karaoke together ("Start of Something New") Returning to school, Troy sees Gabriella in his classroom. She explains that she just moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and transferred to East High School over the break, and Troy shows her around the school. Drama Club president Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale), East High's designated “Ice Princess”, assumes that Gabriella is interested in auditioning for the school musical. Wanting to eliminate competition, Sharpay has scholastic decathlon captain and Chem Club president, Taylor McKessie (Monique Coleman), investigate Gabriella's past academic achievements, which results in Taylor and Gabriella becoming friends.

During basketball practice, Troy is distracted by thoughts of Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing in addition to basketball ("Get'cha Head in the Game"). Gabriella and Troy go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel) perform ("What I've Been Looking For"), but Troy and Gabriella are too shy to audition. When Gabriella gains the confidence to step forward once the auditions are unofficial "over", Troy offers to sing with her, but drama teacher Ms. Darbus (Alyson Reed) tells them they are too late and leaves. Kelsi Nielsen (Olesya Rulin), the musical's composer, trips and drops her music all over the stage. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her and sing together as Kelsi plays the piano ("What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)"). Overhearing their song, Ms. Darbus gives them a callback audition.

When the callback list is posted, Sharpay discovers that she has competition for the lead role, and the Wildcats team is shocked that Troy has auditioned. Other students confess their secret passions and talents ("Stick to the Status Quo"), alarming Taylor and Troy's best friend Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu). Since Gabriella has agreed to join the scholastic decathlon team, both Taylor and Chad want their teammates to focus on their upcoming competitions rather than the musical. In the locker room, Troy is tricked by his teammates into saying that Gabriella is not important, which she watches via a hidden webcam the scholastic decathlon team set up in cahoots with the basketballers. Upset by Troy’s betrayal ("When There Was Me and You") Gabriella decides not to audition for the musical.

Troy, confused by Gabriella’s decision, is unable to concentrate on the game, and Gabriella is also seen in low spirits. Realizing their mistake, Chad and the basketball team tell Troy what happened and offer to support him in callbacks, and Troy goes to Gabriella's house and they reconcile.

Overhearing Gabriella and Troy rehearse, Sharpay has Ms. Darbus change the callback time to coincide with both Troy's basketball championship and Gabriella's scholastic decathlon. Kelsi overhears the conversation, and the basketball and decathlon teams make a plan together. On the day of the competitions, Taylor and Gabriella use the school's computers to delay the championship game by messing with the power in the gym and causing a chemical reaction that forces an evacuation during the decathlon. Troy and Gabriella rush to the auditorium as Sharpay and Ryan finish their callback song ("Bop to the Top"). After Gabriella and Troy audition ("Breaking Free"), Ms. Darbus gives them the lead roles, making Sharpay and Ryan understudies.

Both teams win their respective competitions and the entire school gathers in the gym to celebrate ("We're All In This Together"). Chad asks Taylor out, and Sharpay makes peace with Gabriella.

In a post-credits scene, Zeke Baylor (Chris Warren Jr.) paces alone in the gym, when Sharpay runs in, declaring that the cookies she rejected from him earlier are "genius". She hugs him, and he declares he will make her a crème brûlée.

Cast

Main article: List of High School Musical characters
  • Zac Efron as Troy Bolton, Gabriella's boyfriend, the most popular male student at East High School, and the captain of the varsity basketball team. As Efron is a baritone and the role of Troy was written for a tenor, his singing voice was partially dubbed by Drew Seeley. Efron, however, did all of his singing in the sequels.
  • Vanessa Hudgens as Gabriella Montez, Troy's girlfriend, who arrives at East High as a transfer student, and joins the scholastic decathlon team. She develops an attraction towards Troy after meeting him at a New Year's party.
  • Lucas Grabeel as Ryan Evans, Sharpay's twin brother, and member of the drama club. He often joins his sister on her schemes to sabotage Troy and Gabriella, but is not as mean as her and is also shown to not be particularly smart, such as not knowing how to spell "drama", and never understanding Sharpay's plans and is admired by Kelsi.
  • Ashley Tisdale, as Sharpay Evans, Ryan's twin sister and an energetic and proud student with a love of theatre. She enjoys being the center of attention, particularly Troy's, and is wary of Gabriella. She is very mean, unlike Ryan and is admired by Zeke.
  • Corbin Bleu as Chad Danforth, Troy's friend, Taylor's love interest, and is very good friends with Jason and Zeke. He likes the status quo and is a firm believer in it, but later ends up dating decathlon captain Taylor.
  • Monique Coleman as Taylor McKessie, Gabriella's friend and Chad's love interest. She is captain of the school's scholastic decathlon team, and despises the basketball players and cheerleaders, believing them to be airheads.
  • Bart Johnson as Jack Bolton, Troy's father and the coach of the basketball team. He has a mutual dislike with Ms. Darbus, thinks that theater is worthless, and also believes that Gabriella is a distraction to Troy's basketball career. However, he eventually comes around to it.
  • Olesya Rulin as Kelsi Nielsen, a friend of Gabriella and Taylor, who is a pianist and composer. She is shy and is constantly bossed around by Sharpay, and finds it difficult to get her music listened to, but in the end, she learns to stand up for herself and not get bossed around by Sharpay. She also enjoys composing and is an admirer of Ryan.
  • Chris Warren Jr. as Zeke Baylor, a friend of Troy and Chad who plays for the basketball team. He also enjoys baking and is an admirer of Sharpay.
  • Ryne Sanborn as Jason Cross, a friend of Troy and Chad who plays for the basketball team. He also tends to ask mundane questions in Ms. Darbus's class. He is good friends with Troy, Chad, and Zeke.
  • Kaycee Stroh as Martha Cox, a friend of Gabriella and Taylor and a peppy brainiac who enjoys hip-hop. She is good friends with Gabriella, Taylor, and Kelsi.
  • Alyson Reed as Ms. Darbus, the stern drama teacher at East High. She despises sports and cell phones but takes her job very seriously, though she can be overdramatic. She clashes frequently with Jack Bolton.
  • Irene Santiago-Baron as Ms. Tenny, the chemistry teacher at East High. Gabriella corrects the teacher's math equation on the board in Chem Class.
  • Socorro Herrera as Lisa Montez, Gabriella's mother. Her job has caused her to be transferred frequently from city to city, but she has been guaranteed that she and Gabriella will be able to stay until Gabriella graduated from high school.
  • Leslie Wing Pomeroy as Lucille Bolton, Troy's mother. She serves food for Troy at his house but is more sufficient for him to love her.
  • Joyce Cohen as Ms. Falstaff, the librarian at East High. She keeps Chad quiet in the library and gets a book for Gabriella and Sharpay to read but takes her work very carefully.
  • Dave Fox as Coach Kellogg, another coach at East High. He blows the whistle when he says the game is over.
  • Anne Kathryn Parma as Susan, a girl who auditions for the winter musical but did not get the role even though Ms. Darbus was impressed with some hand gestures she made. She is the first singer in the auditorium.
  • Nick Whitaker as Alan, a boy who auditions for the winter musical but did not get the role. He is the second singer in the auditorium.
  • Falcon Grace as Cyndra, a girl who auditions for the winter musical and is not happy when she does not get the role. She is the fourth singer in the auditorium.

Sex, drugs and violence just didn't factor into that equation."[20] On the other hand, David Nusair gave the film a negative review with a score of 1.5/4 saying, "...it's difficult to imagine even the most die-hard fan of musicals finding anything here worth embracing."[21] Scott Weinberg also gave the film a negative review saying, "A schmaltzy little piece of obvious fluff that's directed in truly horrendous fashion and populated by cardboard characters who spit out simplistic platitudes and breathy pop tunes."[22]
