Disney's High School Musical
27 February 2006 | by mdang01 – See all my reviews

I have seen High School Musical and I recommend it to others. It is a movie about a basketball star and a soon to be newcomer in East High take a vacation in the same place. They sing "The Start of Something New" and suddenly come addicted to singing and partially, each other. I love this movie and have seen it every time on Disney Channel. You might think it's boring because of singing, but once you watch the movie, you'll definitely change your mind. The main stars of the show are Zac Efron as "Troy", Vanessa Anne Hudgens as "Gabriella", Ashley Tisdale as "Sharpay", and Lucas Grabeel as "Ryan". I love this movie and I guarantee that you will love it too.
