Entertainment TV Wildcats in the House! See the New 'High School Musical' Disney+ Stars Replicate Original Scenes The cast of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series got their heads in the game By Dana Rose Falcone Published on December 20, 2019 02:00 PM Share Tweet Pin Email It was the start of something new when Disney+ launched High School Musical: The Musical: The Series based on the 2006 Disney Channel TV movie. But while the new crop of students at East High might have Instagram, emojis and iPhones, that doesn’t mean they can’t connect with the OGs. The reboot, which has already been renewed for a sophomore season, follows a group of high school juniors putting on their school’s theatrical production of — you guessed it — High School Musical. In PEOPLE’s exclusive images, the cast recreates iconic scenes from the original movie. Ricky (Joshua Bassett) has landed the main role of Troy Bolton in hopes of winning back his ex-girlfriend Nini (Olivia Rodrigo), who plays Gabriella Montez. Her current boyfriend EJ (Matt Cornett), who she met at drama camp, had his eye on playing Troy too, but instead got the part of Chad. Rounding out the main cast of the East High production: Seb (Joe Serafini) as Sharpay and Ashlyn (Julia Lester) as Ms. Darbus, all under the direction of drama teacher Miss Jenn (Kate Reinders). Ahead of the show’s finale, see how the new cast stacks up against the original Try (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), Chad (Corbin Bleu), Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) and Ms. Darbus (Alyson Reed). “We’re All in This Together” Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett as Gabriella and Troy in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
