Sing Along With High School Musical: The Musical

🎶We're soaring, flying..

There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach

If we're trying

So we're breaking free 🎶

Have you heard of Wildcats? How about East High? Do you know Troy? How about Gabriella? Sharpay? Ryan?

Have you experienced watching High School Musical on Disney channel every New Year's Eve?

I was young when I first encountered High School Musical, that's when my family was waiting for the New Year's countdown. We were switching from HBO to Disney Channel then. (Uso pa ang cabled channels)

I was hooked because of the music and the plot of the movie itself. I used to print the lyrics of every song in that movie and compile them in a binder. It's like a song book.

Last night, while I'm having my cup of coffee and looking for a movie to watch, I stumbled upon this series, High School Musical: The Musical. Since I am a fan of HSM, I gave it a try.

Musical movies/series really is my thing. The message they want to say through songs are so meaningful! Have you watched Hamilton? That's one of my favorite musicals.

At first I thought they will just follow the same movie but in a series. Good thing, they make the movie as the basis for the musical.

I stopped watching the first episode because I want to sing along with the songs first so I searched for the High School Musical songs on Spotify and played it.

Here are the songs I love the most:

• Start of Something New

• What I've Been Looking For

• Breaking Free

• Gotta Go My Own Way

And a lot more!

I was actually kind of surprised that the casts of High School Musical: The Musical series resemble the characters of the original series.

In the original series, I really liked Gabriela's character but I love Sharpay the most, also Ryan! They're very competitive and I enjoyed watching their upbeat performances.

When I was in fifth grade, we used the tune of

I am talking to my youngest sister as I continue watching the series. I kind of pity her generation because they don't get to live waiting for a specific movie on TV, the patience test for each advertisement in between the show, and the switching of channels when you're watching two shows at the same time!

Perhaps this is how it feels to see your favorite series develop through the years. Gosh, I feel so old!

Did you watch High School Musical too when you were younger? What's your favorite song? Who is your favorite character?
