ABOUT THE MUSICAL — It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians, and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that’s being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life as Troy, Gabriella, and the students of East High deal with issues of first love, friends, and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.

Spitballs fly across the room, paper airplanes sail every-which-way, and uncontrollable children send the gentle, long-suffering teacher, Miss Nelson, over the edge. But the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson turns up missing and is replaced by Viola Swamp, a scary substitute teacher who assigns homework from hell and wields her ruler like a sword. In desperation, the students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson with the help of a private eye … but will they ever get her back?
