00:00:01,272 --> 00:00:02,941
High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series...
3
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:05,568
The new drama teacher
is forcing innocent children
4
00:00:05,652 --> 00:00:07,529
to stage a production
of High School Musical.
5
00:00:07,612 --> 00:00:09,906
My best friend, Ricky,
crashed the audition.
6
00:00:09,989 --> 00:00:12,700
His ex-girlfriend, Nini,
was not impressed.
7
00:00:12,784 --> 00:00:14,369
Her new boyfriend, EJ,
8
00:00:14,452 --> 00:00:17,539
who's basically a Hollister model,
was even less impressed.
9
00:00:17,622 --> 00:00:21,209
Somehow my boy scored the lead.
What could possibly go right?
10
00:00:23,419 --> 00:00:26,506
-No. That... No. I'm not my grandpa. No.
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
11
00:00:26,589 --> 00:00:28,216
KOURTNEY: Wait. No. Sorry.
Keep your head still.
12
00:00:28,299 --> 00:00:30,093
-Yeah, but there's pizza sauce.
-I know.
13
00:00:30,176 --> 00:00:31,678
NINI: I have dreamed
about playing the lead
14
00:00:31,761 --> 00:00:33,596
at East High since ninth grade.
15
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,558
I auditioned, uh, okay, I guess
I didn't really audition.
16
00:00:36,641 --> 00:00:38,851
They were doing Beauty and the Beast
and the old drama teacher
17
00:00:38,935 --> 00:00:40,019
asked me to be a fork.
18
00:00:40,103 --> 00:00:43,189
Uh, after that,
I was the back of a cow in Gypsy.
19
00:00:43,273 --> 00:00:45,275
But in my heart, I was Dainty June.
20
00:00:45,358 --> 00:00:47,402
And now, I'm Gabriella.
21
00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:51,614
And Ricky is not going
to ruin this for me.
22
00:00:52,574 --> 00:00:54,033
He's already ruined this for me.
23
00:00:54,117 --> 00:00:57,579
I'mma turn this around with Nini...
With pheromones.
24
00:00:58,121 --> 00:01:00,790
What you smell is more important
than what you see.
25
00:01:00,874 --> 00:01:04,210
Last spring, we were at the mall,
and this chick, like, ambushed me.
26
00:01:04,294 --> 00:01:07,380
Sprayed this on me.
I was, like, "Yo, back off!"
27
00:01:07,463 --> 00:01:08,756
But Nini was like...
28
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,469
(INHALES) "Mmm. What is that?
Never wash that side of your neck again!"
29
00:01:13,553 --> 00:01:16,681
-One more. That's good.
-Yeah.
30
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:20,685
I sprayed all of me.
31
00:01:21,603 --> 00:01:22,812
Yo, what's up?
32
00:01:22,896 --> 00:01:26,608
I'm trading in my East High Leopards gear
to be a Wildcat, starting today,
33
00:01:26,691 --> 00:01:30,361
because it's the day of the read-through!
Blessed to be playing Chad.
34
00:01:30,445 --> 00:01:31,905
Swipe up for a link to tickets.
35
00:01:31,988 --> 00:01:34,157
-Hi!
-Hey. Say hi to my cousin
36
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,910
and bye to my cousin.
She's the bomb. Peace.
37
00:01:36,993 --> 00:01:38,203
You're in a good mood.
38
00:01:38,286 --> 00:01:41,206
That's just for the fans, Ash.
Inside I'm a bucket of sad.
39
00:01:41,289 --> 00:01:43,499
You're still not over
the not-getting-Troy thing?
40
00:01:43,583 --> 00:01:45,543
I put three years
into this drama department
41
00:01:45,627 --> 00:01:47,837
and now I have to understudy
my girlfriend's ex?
42
00:01:47,921 --> 00:01:49,130
I know, it sucks.
43
00:01:49,214 --> 00:01:52,926
But maybe it'll be good for you
to not get what you want for once?
44
00:01:53,009 --> 00:01:54,636
(SCOFFS) Why would that be good?
45
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,139
Then again, maybe you are who you are.
(CHUCKLES)
46
00:02:00,683 --> 00:02:01,684

-Oh, my God.
-Wow.
51
00:02:28,253 --> 00:02:30,547
How are you gonna get through
74 rehearsals with him?
52
00:02:31,422 --> 00:02:33,341
I won't make eye contact.
53
00:02:52,944 --> 00:02:54,863
Could everyone take their assigned seats?
54
00:02:56,364 --> 00:02:58,783
Who is Natalie and why do I care
if her glands are swollen?
55
00:02:58,867 --> 00:03:01,369
Our stage manager. Guess she's not coming.
56
00:03:03,162 --> 00:03:05,206
Yoo-hoo, ginger boy. Can you read?
57
00:03:05,665 --> 00:03:08,167
-Uh... Not really.
-Well, you're reading now.
58
00:03:08,251 --> 00:03:09,586
Just the stage directions.
59
00:03:09,669 --> 00:03:12,005
Thank you. Excuse me.
60
00:03:14,007 --> 00:03:15,258
Do you know what that means?
61
00:03:16,801 --> 00:03:18,219
Silence your phones!
62
00:03:19,262 --> 00:03:22,807
I realize that you all
walked in here as strangers.
63
00:03:22,891 --> 00:03:24,517
Actually, EJ's my cousin!
64
00:03:27,186 --> 00:03:30,064
But after today, you're a family.
65
00:03:31,482 --> 00:03:35,653

this classic film to new heights.

71

Hands.
72
00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:01,387
Feel each other's energy.
73

Let the silence speak volumes.

this is a space full of yes.
75

(WHISPERING) Nice.
Did you just come up with that?
76
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:15,276
I did.

we'd get through Act One by Christmas.

I promise it won't happen again.

00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,368
Thank you both for an early start today.
Let's begin.

-Wait, it's just the two of us?
-Mmm-hmm.
145

We're diving into page 97.

-You mean the last scene?
-Mmm-hmm.
147

You wanna rehearse this?
It's just one line.
148
00:08:01,586 --> 00:08:02,962
Yeah, I've got one, too.
149
00:08:03,046 --> 00:08:04,505
And then there's the kiss.
150
00:08:04,756 --> 00:08:07,050
NINI: (STAMMERING) There was no...
151
00:08:07,133 --> 00:08:09,302
I don't remember a kiss
in what we read yesterday.
152
00:08:09,385 --> 00:08:11,221
It was very much there
in the original film.
153
00:08:11,304 --> 00:08:12,680
I only remember a hug.
154
00:08:12,764 --> 00:08:14,515
The kiss ended up being cut.
155
00:08:14,599 --> 00:08:16,351
Little racy for its time.
156
00:08:16,434 --> 00:08:18,102
Ooh, too far.
157
00:08:18,186 --> 00:08:19,687
NINI: It makes no sense.
158
00:08:19,771 --> 00:08:22,273
Why would you start
at the end of the play?
159
00:08:23,107 --> 00:08:26,152
Because if you don't know
what Hedda Gabler does in the last scene,
160
00:08:26,236 --> 00:08:27,612
why play her in the first?
161
00:08:27,695 --> 00:08:29,197
I know what happens.
162
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,657
It's a hug, not a kiss.
163
00:08:31,574 --> 00:08:33,535
And who is Hedda Gabler?
What musical is that?
164
00:08:33,618 --> 00:08:36,621
One that very few people would pay to see.
It's very dark.
165
00:08:36,704 --> 00:08:39,249
Miss Jenn, did you put
that kiss back in because...
166
00:08:39,332 --> 00:08:42,252
Sweetie, I added the kiss
because our production needs it.
167
00:08:42,335 --> 00:08:45,630
I've also added a cow bell,
a power ballad for the drama teacher,
168
00:08:45,713 --> 00:08:47,465
and a Wildcat cheer for the curtain call.
169
00:08:47,549 --> 00:08:49,926
That all sounds great, but I...
170
00:08:51,344 --> 00:08:53,137
I just can't kiss Ricky right now.
171
00:08:54,264 --> 00:08:55,890
Or not yet anyway.
172
00:08:55,974 --> 00:08:57,642
I have a new boyfriend.
173
00:08:57,725 --> 00:08:58,810
He's playing Chad.

and take the other road

for what I already know

the best thing that I had
