Even if Nini is attending another school, the theater nerds of East High School are all in this together. Disney+ released new episodes of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, complete with original songs from some cast members.
How long are episodes of this original mockumentary? Here’s what we know about this High School Musical-themed show.
‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ season 2 premiered on Disney’s streaming platform, Disney+
Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. During season 1 of the Disney+ original series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, fans saw the actor students of East High put on a production of High School Musical.
Well, technically they’re characters appearing in a mockumentary, but with this series came original songs, dance numbers, and a new appreciation for theater among many characters.
These cast members returned for season 2 of this Disney+ original. With the winter musical behind them, Miss Jenn has her sights set on a competition — the “Menkie” Awards. As a result, she picked Disney’s Beauty and the Beast as East High School’s spring musical.
With each new episode, fans see the characters rehearse in new roles. There’s plenty of drama along the way, especially with a beautiful and talented new girl who is pretty mean to theater nerds like Big Red.
