    High School Musical centers on the unlikely friendship that evolves between the jock Troy and brainiac Gabriella at a karaoke contest. Little did the two know that she would be transferring to his school. The duo decide — against their friends' wishes and to the dismay of school stars (a drama queen and her twin brother) — to audition for the high school musical.

    High School Musical — the stage version of the popular musical —made its debut on the stage at New York's Stagedoor Manor (in August) and will continue to flourish at regional theatres across the country in the coming year.

    A sequel to "High School Musical," is already in the works. The movie was released on DVD and the soundtrack is also available on CD.
