High School Musical
Cafeteria dance numbers
High School Musical is a 2006 Disney Channel movie about two high school students—a basketball star and a studious newcomer—who audition for the school musical, defying social expectations.
The film spawned sequels and a franchise, becoming a cultural touchstone for millennials.
The title now evokes earnest teen drama, catchy songs, and the message that you can break free from cliques: It felt like a High School Musical moment when the jock joined the theater club.
