High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is an American musical comedy-drama that aired on Disney + from November 8, 2019 to TBA.
==Plot==
At a fictionalized version of East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, Miss Jenn begins work as the new drama teacher. The school holds significance as it is where the High School Musical films, a series of Disney Channel original movies were filmed. Miss Jenn was a former background cast member in the film, and the teacher decides to stage a performance of High School Musical: The Musical for her first winter theater production to celebrate the school's affiliation with the original film. The club members cast in High School Musical: The Musical learn to navigate their interpersonal relationships while overcoming the challenges of the rehearsal process. During the second season, the theater students of East High stage a production of Beauty and the Beast for the spring musical. The third season is set outside of the school year and features the students attending a summer theater camp in California, called Camp Shallow Lake. The campers prepare a stage production of Frozen while a documentary series about the rehearsal process is filmed over the summer. The theater students return to East High in the fourth season to stage a production based on the film High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The 2nd half of Season 4 starts to focus more on the group rather than stage productions as well as the future college careers.
