Disney Channel's smash hit musical comes to life on our stage! On the front steps of
East High, it’s the first day after winter break. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and
Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new
year. In Ms. Darbus’s homeroom, basketball team captain Troy discovers that
Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High.
When he calls her, the eccentric drama teacher quickly confiscates all cell phones and
assigns detention. Between classes, Gabriella and Troy look at the audition sign-up for
the school musical, but the drama diva Sharpay discourages them. At basketball
practice, Troy tries to shake his desire to sing at the urging of his best friend Chad.
Taylor, the science club president, discovers Gabriella’s intelligence and encourages
her to join the upcoming science decathlon. While the students learn how to “act” at
detention, Troy’s dad, Coach Bolton, faces off with Ms. Darbus. Sharpay convinces Ms.
Darbus to move the callbacks to conflict with the science decathlon and championship
game. Chad and Taylor put their heads together to make things right again. While the
Jocks and Brainiacs compete, Sharpay and Ryan pull off a polished callback
performance. When Taylor’s laptop shuts down the electricity, Troy and Gabriella rush
to the theater, but are too late. However, when the East High students arrive to rally
behind them, Ms. Darbus relents, and they sing their way into the lead roles. Back at
the gym, the Wildcats win the game and the whole school comes together as winners.
