Bagong ‘High School Musical’ series, kasado na
NARITO na ang sunod na henerasyon ng High School Musical!
Inihayag ng Disney ang mga bibida sa kanilang upcoming Disney+ series, ang nitong Biyernes, sa Salt Lake City, Utah, ayon sa ulat ng Entertainment Tonight.
Ngayong lang gagawan ng panibagong series ang High School Musical movie makalipas ang 15 taon, na pinagbidahan nina Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens at Ashley
Tisdale, sa Disney Channel noong 2006. Ginanap ang show sa East High, at binubuo ng grupo ng mga estudyante na naghahanda para sa kanilang school’s production ng High School Musical.
Unang inihayag na si Joshua Bassett (Stuck in
the Middle) ang gaganap na Ricky, ang “sarcastic yet charismatic skate rat and high school junior, who launches a bold plan to prove himself to his ex-girlfriend Nini -- by auditioning to star opposite her in the school’s first-ever production of High School Musical: The Musical.” Gagampanan naman ni Olivia Rodrigo
(Bizaardvark) si Nini, “who just returned from summer theater camp after finding her voice, her confidence -- and her new boyfriend. Fiercely loyal to her two moms, Nini is a star -- if she can just believe in herself long enough to stay put in the spotlight.”
Si Kate Reinders (Work It) bilang si Miss Jenn ang “school’s new high-energy, low-reality drama teacher, who believes musicals can save lives.” Habang si Sofia Wylie (Andi Mack), ang gaganap sa karakter ni Gina, “a recent transfer student and a diehard theater kid with as many skeletons in the closet as she has credits on her résumé. She is both ambitious and entitled, and dead set on showing Miss Jenn that she made a huge mistake in casting her as the understudy.”
Si Matt Cornett (Bella and the Bulldogs) ang kakatawan kay E.J., “Nini’s new love interest, the supremely confident son of two corporate lawyers, who secretly battles the pressure of living up to his picture-perfect Instagram account. Co-captain of the water polo team, senior class treasurer, and trust fund baby...it’s not a good idea to cross E.J. if you get something he wants -- like the lead in the musical.”
Si Dara Renee’ (Freaky Friday) naman si Kourtney, “Nini’s ride-or-die best friend who’s obsessed with makeup tutorials and feminism in equal measure. Kourtney works on the costume crew of High School Musical, pulling together runway-ready fashion on a high school budget.”
Samantalang si Julia Lester (Mom) naman ang gaganap bilang pinsan ni E.J., si Ashlyn, isang “old soul who worships Sara Bareilles and is an aspiring songwriter on the sly,” habang si Frankie
A. Rodriguez (Modern Family) ang gaganap na Carlos, “the captain of the color guard and the student choreographer for the show. Carlos thinks of Miss Jenn as a peer. He eats lunch in her office, has been drinking espresso since the 3rd grade and already has his Tony Awards speech memorized.”
Si Larry Saperstein (Fan Girl) ang kakatawan sa role ni Big Red, “a skater boy through and through. Big Red is the spiritual cousin of both Bill and Ted: always fuzzy and he’s been sleepdeprived since preschool. Big Red is weirdly devastated by Ricky and Nini’s breakup -- his surest role is as their wisecracking third wheel.”
Kasama rin sa serye si Mark St. Cyr
(Doomsday) bilang si Mr. Mazzara, “East High’s somewhat robotic S.T.E.M. teacher. His belief in preparing students for the future often leads him to butt heads with Miss Jenn, who would rather sing about life than live in the real world.” Muling nagsama-sama ang High School
Musical cast noong 2006 bilang pagdiriwang sa 10th anniversary ng pelikula.
