roadwayWorld has learned the exciting news that Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman -- the stars of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - will reunite to celebrate the global sensation's 10-year anniversary
Tony nominated Director, Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages) has helmed a new music video for the song 'Love Too Much', performed by Charissa Hogeland, currently starring as Nicola in the Kinky Boots national tour and of Heathers: The Musical fame, and John Davisi, one of the producers of Hanggi's latest film - Naomi & Ely's No Kiss List. The video also features Justin Mortelliti, currently in Rock of Ages - Vegas, and Ryan Ward, one of the stars of No Kiss List.
It's been almost ten years since the Wildcats first crowded the halls of East High School, singing of a new start, the status quo, and of course, the big game. The first of three HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL movies debuted on January 20, 2006, quickly becoming the most successful Disney Channel Original Movie ever produced. Launching the careers of a then-unknown set of teenagers, lots has happened to the cast since the last film wrapped in 2008.
Much of the cast has continued in the musical tradition of the trilogy, taking on various roles in other musicals on stage and screen. Later this Spring, Vanessa Hudgens will become the second of the group to make her Broadway debut, as the title character in Gigi. In honor of her big debut, BroadwayWorld is recapping you on what's been up with the rest of the gang since Senior Year!
