Do people even read??? Do they at least bother to do a quick Google search on the character they claim to love???

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series Cast Sing to Zac Efron

In a world full of reboots, remakes, and nextgens, it’s almost refreshing to see something different. High School Musical the Musical the Series, or HSMTMTS (which is totally not a mouthful), takes the world of High School Musical and brings it into ours. While it would have been interesting to see a reboot of the series with the Wildcats’ kids - and believe me, if you’ve followed my blog you know I’ve made WAY too many posts speculating and dreaming of it - I believe it will be equally interesting to see how current high schoolers take this movie and make it their own. High School Musical has come in the form of a concert, ice shows, actual high school musicals, and, of course, fanfictions. Here we get to see actual high schoolers bring the show to life over the course of ten episodes. Or rather, actors portraying actual high school students. While it would be near impossible to recreate the chemistry and magic the original Wildcats brought to the scene it’s a bit early to tell if anything similar is in these Wildcats…or Leopards, if you go by STEM teacher Mr. Mazzara’s logic. But then again, who would have guessed that after 13 years so much of the original HSM cast would still be in contact with each other. Personally, my one hope with this HSM reboot is the same as it would be if it were a Nextgen - that the friendship, supoprt, and magic lives on. That was one of the things that made HSM so amazing in the first place, was that the chemistry wasn’t just between the characters but the actors as well. We were blessed to see that over the course of three movies, a concert tour, social media, each actors’ personal lives, and the ten-year reunion. As far as the talent goes, this cast has it. As for the characters, if they can in any way match up to the originals they attempt to portray? Well, that’s way too soon to say. It’s only one episode. And while we’ve gotten to know quite a bit in these first 38 minutes of main characters Ricky and Nini, there have only been a few snippets to give us faint ideas of other characters such as Gina, Carlos, Kourtney, et al. Though there are certain vibes I get from certain characters they are not trying to recreate Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, and the rest. I’m sorry, but in my opninion Chad is not Chad without Corbin Bleu’s signature curls. That being said, I’m interested in seeing how this will play out. What HSMTMTS can do that HSM did not have as much a chance to do is shine a light on all the characters. Yes, each Wildcat throughout the movies had their moments but overall the movies were devoted to Troy, Gabriella and Sharpay, leaving us to resort to imagining the other characters as well as their relationships for ourselves. I will reserve my personal opinions about the characters for a potential future post. But for now, I can safely say that I was not disappointed with the pilot episode. Though I will continue to watch as a devoted fan, I will also be watching out of curiosity to see what happens, both with the play and the characters. And, of course, for the Easter Eggs (Easter Wildcats? Wild Eggs? Wildcat Easter Eggs? Actually, maybe there isn’t a better word for it)! Easter Eggs 🐾13 years later and East High School still has the decoration gracing its cafeteria. 🐾As with Sharpay’s signature pink locker. I envy every student that has had that since the first movie. 🐾Did Miss Jenn spend almost 2 hours before class sitting in her car watching the original HSM on her cell phone? Or was she just playing We’re All in This Together to get her pumped for her first day? 🐾Carlos claims he’s the resident HSM historian yet he only saw the first movie 37 times and the first 15 minutes of both sequels. Raise your hand if you know you watched all three movies (four if you count Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure) more than this guy. 🐾Cameos from Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron in the form of a screencap and a few precious seconds of Getcha Head in the Game. 🐾Pretty sure I overheard the beginnings of Sharpay and Ryan’s exercises pre-auditions. 🐾As well as their falling back trust exercise during one of Miss Jenn’s segments. 🐾"What spell has this elevated-IQ temptress girl cast that suddenly makes you want to be in a musical?“ 🐾The Start of Something New. 🐾Shoutout to the Greatest Showman. More of a Zac Efron Easter Egg than a High School Musical one, but let us never forget the many memes that have spawned since its release about Troy Bolton running away to join the circus. 🐾Big Red’s summary of High School Musical is that it’s about Troy deciding whether to be to himself or his best friend Chad. Not totally wrong, seeing as how it wasn’t just Chad that Troy felt forced to choose to be true to him being the Basketbal Guy and sticking to the status quo like the entire school wanted him to. But it’s a hell of a lot better than simply stating it’s a modern version of Romeo and Juliet that takes place in a high school! 🐾Ricky’s summary of High School Musical is probably what everyone says now…. "It’s about Zac Efron dancing with a basketball.”
