Billed as a simple “High School Musical,” it was actually a global phenomenon.
The 2006 made-for-TV Disney Original launched the careers of actors like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, transformed the Disney Channel’s programming, and garnered $4 billion in retail sales.
Which elements of the movie were based on the screenwriter’s own life? How was director Kenny Ortega able to film a Broadway style musical with such a young cast and only $4.2 million? Why were Zac Efron’s vocals dubbed by another actor? Were they really all in this together– what were the relationships between cast members like? And what factors contributed to the teen musical’s unprecedented success?
