Troy & Gabriella decide to audition for the upcoming high school musical. Troy's best friend Chad and Gabriella's new friend Taylor discourage them from moving forward with their plans.

BREAKING NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT. Zac Efron is starring in an episode of NCIS in four weeks time. He will be playing a character called Danny. ANNOUNCEMENT COMPLETE.
I shall see him then cos I LOVE NCIS and never miss it.
He's also in Summerland which has recently come back to TV3, Saturdays at 1pm.
Breaking Free guitar chords.
Yay I finally watched the WHOLE thing today!
it was the third time i had seen Breaking Free and I had also seen the dance scene and the dance lessons. xD HOMG WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE. 
it's so friggin cheesy and i kept wincing and the crap bits and the bad dubbing/acting but it was so feel-good!
EE excited now. ganna learn all the dance moves.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL CAST ON CLOSE UP TONIGHT 7PM probably like the last item, but you should still watch it
....its on soon...
It was Sharpey and Ryan, and red carpet statements from Efron and the producer. Really quite a useless news piece.
Oh wow, I just watched some of this - a guilty pleasure, but I could only stomach half of it!
My little sis has watched it a bagillion times

Woo I borrowed the dance-along version from a friend and have almost learned we're all in this together *is a sad, sad person...*
Cant say I have seen this movie
My 7 year old sister thinks its great however
Hehe, this movie was....okay. Zac Efron was just the cutest (woohoo, they included a shirtless locker room scene, do they know how to bust out the eye candy or what?
), although I question how well any of the actors can actually sing. There was a lot of blatant autotuning going on, it was completely obvious, everyone sounded slightly robotic. Oh, by the way, Zac Efron didn't do all of his own singing, some of it was performed by Andrew Seeley (Canadian singer/songwriter). Probably the more difficult parts. 
The Pigeon's Verdict - The one that counts...(Okay, so I'm just ego-tripping here, but expect this to occur regularly now)
High School Musical was...interesting. It's no Grease, and it's definitely not in any way a classic. It's obvious what the target market was, and Disney have faithfully stuck to that target market. The cliched storyline, ungrateful yet endearing kids that I loved and hated and the overly cheesy showtunes let down the film quite a bit. However, there was humour (I've never laughed so hard at the use of 'popping' and 'locking' ever before), the girls were hot (unnaturally so) and some of the songs (in particular, the completely unnecessary Get Your Head In The Game and the catchy Status Quo) were nice. The acting is adequate, though nothing that's going to cement these kids any permanent fame, and the singing was likewise (though Sharpei sounds like she had been sucking helium balloons).
The Pigeon's verdict? Two and a half stars out of five. Nice, but overly saccharine stuff that's all been done before.
*Starts making creme bouleai*
Get Your Head in the game was the worst of the lot :S But permanent fame? Trust me, they will have it. That movie will go down in history as one of the crappiest ever made.
And yes I loved it.
I DISAGREE! But you can have your opinion...
I still cringed at Get Your Head In The Game, though...along with Breaking Free...and We're All In This Together...and Gabriella's solo...and Start of Something New...and Status Quo...
I can indeed.
I loved Breaking Free.. and Start of Something New.. and the Ryan and Sharpay's first song? Whatever it was called.
What I've been looking for i think
I love High School musical ♥
Breaking Free is my caller tune and ringtone
I laughed at Gabriella's solo.
I thought Sharpay (isn't that a dog?) and Ryan were good.
The cheesy 'whole school singing' was gay as hell though.
LOL I used to own a shar-pei. xD Odd name for a girl.
That's what my sister said. I said maybe she was a really roly baby.
LMAO
I saw some of this on telly before I went out *shudders* it was worse than I imagined.
Back in my day, a Dargaville High School 'musical' involved bad makeup, at least one fist fight, someone getting suspended for drugs/alcohol, and the loss of a cast member due to pregnancy or a rugby related injury.
'Grease' will always be cooler, Generation 'Y' is wussy :|
Our school was heavily into music and drama so ours musicals were always really professional. Behind the scenes, there was rabid flu outbreaks, copius amounts of underage drinking and worhsip of the male lead by 13 and 14 years olds who were too young to audition. My school's musicals uncovered some talent, including Steve Broad and Kali Kopae and some other pretty wicked talent.
Edit: You're originally from Dargaville? Lolololololololol the freezing works company I work for has a plant there
We produced great talent too like *mumbles* and that guy, you know ... him *cough*
Yes. You work for Richmonds? You can do so much better. They are everywhere.
My friend Prongs is watching it for the first time.

Troy & Gabby did kiss at the end of the movie. It was filmed, but never put into the movie.
how do you know??????????
Um the actor playing Troy said so
ok i didnt know that
boo that sux!
Yeah.. they weren't allowed to kiss on the lips (
) because it was a Disney kids movie or something. Amazing how they make kids that age look cute.
What?!?
That sucks.
Its so lame that its good:P
Watched this last night. Music was good, um. It was dumb, but I liked it anyway. I found it cute.
This is screening on t.v 2 next week, as the Saturday movie. And the t.v guide gave it a 5 star rating.
hehe I saw that.pretty cool
This is pretty much one of the worst movies I have ever seen. So unbearably cliched, it was like a parody of itself.
*listens to the soundtrack*
I really, really, really, really want to know how to do the second half of the We're All In This Together dance!
Really really really! Lol
