About High School Musical
The movie version of High School Musical premiered on the Disney Channel January 20, 2006. The show won two 2006 Emmys (outstanding children’s program and outstanding choreography) and was
nominated for four other Emmys.
It was the Disney Channel’s most successful movie at its time with
7.7 million viewers in its premiere broadcast. (That record was later
beaten by The Cheetah Girls 2 with 8.3 million viewers.)
The school’s original mascot in the movie was going to be a leopard, but it was changed to a wildcat.
Lucas Grabeel (who plays Ryan) wore nine different hats during
the movie.
Corbin Bleu originally auditioned for Ryan. When he saw Lucas
Grabeel dancing at the audition, Corbin said that he couldn’t shake
like Lucas could. So, instead, he auditioned for Chad and was cast.
Zac Efron had to undergo three hours of basketball practice every
day because his character was the captain of the basketball team.
Corbin Bleu came up with the slogans that appear on the shirts
that he wears in the movie.
Zac Efron’s singing voice was that of Andrew Seeley, who was also
considered for the role. Seeley sang the entirety of “Get’cha Head
in the Game” and the reprise of “What I’ve Been Looking For.” Efron
only sings the first four lines of “Start of Something New,” the first
sentence of “Breaking Free” and during the scene on the balcony. The
reason for this is because Efron’s natural voice was too low for that of
a tenor and the producers wanted a tenor to match the role.
Seeley was a high school Thespian in Orlando, Florida, where he
performed lead roles in many of his school’s productions. He won
“best of show” for duet acting at Florida’s State Thespian competition in 1999 with a scene from The Judas Kiss.
Ashley Tisdale tried out for the role of Gabriella Montez but director Kenny Ortega thought she would do better playing the part of
Sharpay Evans.
High School Musical 2 will premiere on the Disney Channel on Friday, August 17 at 7 p.m. central time. In the new movie, school’s out
and Troy, Gabriella, Chad and Taylor have summer jobs at the Lava
Springs Country Club, owned by Sharpay and Ryan Evans’ family.
The soundtrack for High School Musical 2 will be released on Tuesday, August 14.
There are even plans in the works for High School Musical 3, but
the script is still being developed.
