High School Musical the Ice tour was a Disney On Ice show that ran from 2007 to 2009 around the United States and across the world.

## Synopsis

### Preshow (2008-2009)

Described as the coolest experience, it featured the hottest songs and dance moves from High School Musical 3.

### Act 1

The show starts at East High in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we meet our two leads: Troy, captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella the new girl. In their homeroom, they don't notice each other until Troy tries to call her on his phone, which results in the taking away of Troy's phone, and resulting in detention.

After homeroom, Troy and Gabriella confront each other again remembering each other from when they saw each other and sang on new year's eve. Sharpay meets Troy, and tries to put down Gabriella as they both sign up for the musical. Troy wants to desire the expectation of his friends, with basketball star Chad objecting, with him and his team trying to "getcha head back in the game". At the audition, while Taylor tells Gabriella that their team is now part of the academic decathlon.

At the musical auditions, everyone who is there tries their best to audition, with the Evans twins (Sharpay and Ryan) auditioning last. After everyone leaves, Troy and Gabriella do their audition, which ends up putting Sharpay and Ryan, along with Troy and Gabriella on the callback list, which affects their schedules with the decathalon and basketball torunament. Taylor and Chad try to get their respective friends out of their interest in the callback through intervention. In the end, when they realize what they've done, they decide to do their best to head to the audition, decathlon, and the match at the same time.

At the callback, Sharpay and Ryan perform first, with Troy and Gabriella doing their respective things. After they do their best to finish, Troy and Gabriella make it to the audition in the nick of time, and perform and get the lead. The first half ends with everyone celebrating that they're all in this together.

### Act 2

The second half starts at East High as everyone celebrates the start of summer, Troy and Gabriella still date, but drift away for the summer since Troy needs a summer job to earn him college money. He eventually gets accepted at the Lava Springs country club, which is part of a plan conducted by Sharpay and Ryan once again.

At the job, Troy convinces Mr. Fulton to hire his closest friends Taylor and Chad, which upsets Sharpay and tries to fire them, but is unable to. Instead she gives them really hard tasks, but Troy helps them out with the power of perseverance. Worrying about his funds for college again, Sharpay decides to help him under the condition that he performs with her in the talent show.

After feeling under pressure from Sharpay, Ryan decides not to take orders from her anymore, and tries to convince Gabriella and Taylor, and the Wildcats to join the show. After finding out, Sharpay tries to get Mr. Fulton to ban all junior performers from joining in the show, with Gabriella confronting Sharpay after, and Troy and Gabriella breaking up. Kelsi catches up Troy on everything, questioning his own motives as well. He reconciles with the team and gets them to perform in the show again.

Sharpay gives Troy a different song to sing after realizing he performs Everyday with Gabriella joining in. Sharpay gives the award to her brother after, as they all celebrate with a summer finale celebrating all for one.
