High School Musical TV series reveals first look at original cast returning
Disney has dropped a new trailer for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which features the return of original stars from the classic Disney films.
Posted to Twitter, the clip features a performance put on during the season ahead of its eagerly anticipated premiere next month.
The series will see familiar faces reprise their old roles, too. Of those returning include Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu), Taylor McKessie (Monique Coleman), Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel), and Martha Cox (Kaycee Stroh).
It’s time for the high school reunion we’ve all been waiting for… 😉

However, the trailer doesn't feature the return of the film's leading stars Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens. Rumours of their involvement ran rife last year after the pair shared photos of themselves at the school used for the films.
Asked whether she was available for a cameo herself, Hudgens cryptically told Entertainment Weekly in November: "I don't know. We leave it up to fate. Leave it up to the gods."

Created by Tim Federle, the fourth season of the Emmy-nominated series will see the Wildcats returning to East High, where they prepare a stage production.
All eight episodes will release at once and will star Joshua Bassett, Sofia Wylie, Dara Reneé, Julia Lester, Frankie Rodriguez, Liamani Segura, and Kate Reinders.
In a statement in June, Federle announced the news that the show will end after four seasons.
"This show brought the most extraordinary cast – and crew, and collaborators – to my life," he said at the time.
"To the fans, who embraced our super-meta series: we 'don't not love you'. We can't wait to share this epic fourth act with you all."
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 4 drops on Wednesday, August 9.
