High School Musical 2 is the sequel to the Emmy Award winning hit Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical. High School Musical 2 is set to debut on Disney Channel on August 17, 2007 and Disney Channel UK in September.

Plot

Over summer vacation, the East High Wildcats are ready to enjoy their vacation and earn some money at summer jobs. Troy Bolton lands a job at the country club, Lava Springs, not knowing that his job is a part of Sharpay's plan to steal him from Gabriella. Accidentally foiling Sharpay's plot, Troy not only helps Gabriella get a job as a lifeguard, but also lands jobs for Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi, Jason and the rest of his Wildcat pals.

Making it worse, Sharpay finds out Kelsi has written a duet for Troy and Gabriella that's sure to outperform everyone at the club's annual Midsummer Night's Talent Show. Reminded of her humiliation over the winter musical, Sharpay is determined not to suffer a repeat and forms her own campaign to make sure she's not upstaged again. As they go head to head, Troy is enjoying the life of the privileged set, and begins to question what he's willing to give up for what he thinks he wants. [1]

Production

Before rehearsal began, Disney's High School Musical site put up a poll[2] for what the viewers want to see in High School Musical 2.

In early February, 2007, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu and Vanessa Anne Hudgens were reported to be holding out for a more lucrative contract.[3] Disney Channel representatives claimed rehearsals would begin on schedule, and by February 19th, the entire cast was on set and rehearsing in St. George and Salt Lake City, Utah.[4] The cast wrapped up filming on April 13, 2007 and have since returned home.[5]

According to Monique Coleman in a interview aired in Zapping Zone Brasil, there will be a golfing scene.

In the first released trailer, the main cast is shown counting down the seconds until summer break.[6] In a teaser, the trailer asks "Are you ready... for the start of something new?" before showing the High School Musical 2 logo along with the Disney Channel logo. [7] An ad campaign, asking viewers to email their friends about the site to reveal a new poster, was also shown. [8] What Time Is It?, the first song in the movie, took three days to shoot and 200 extras, most of whom were handpicked Utah residents. [9]

Disney Channel has announced in one of its TV commercials[10] that it will air a program called Road to High School Musical 2 starting on June 8, 2007. The weekly program, leading up to the premiere of High School Musical 2 in August, will offer viewers a behind-the-scenes look into the production of the movie.
