Adaptation Expansion: Numerous novelizations of the book characters (in a series named "Tales from East High") were released between films.There's an entire song about how some of the students are having their secret passions suppressed, simply because their friends can't stand the thought of them expanding beyond their niche. Absurdly Divided School: A big plot point in the first film was about how the school was so divided into cliques that everyone was horrified when Troy wanted to do something besides basketball.It also influenced Glee being greenlit and thus the success of the Pitch Perfect franchise, which may have ultimately kickstarted a newfound appreciation for musicals in the mainstream.

The franchise inspired Stitch Meets High School Musical, a cute little short anime parody where Stitch plays basketball and dances to "We're All in This Together", as well as a bunch of teen musicals by the Disney Channel, including: High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019–present), a mockumentary about a group of East High students who stage a performance of, well, High School Musical.A fourth installment with an entirely new cast has been announced but languishes in development hell.Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure (2011) starring, of course, Ashley Tisdale as Sharpay.High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008).It was an unexpected success, spawning a concert tour, a novel series, two sequels, a spinoff and a web series:

Oh, and did we mention it's also a musical? Can Troy and Gabriella convince East High that they can do theater and their respective niches at the same time? Also unhappy at this development are Troy and Gabriella's best friends, fellow jock Chad Danforth (played by Corbin Bleu), and academic decathlon leader Taylor McKessie (played by Monique Coleman), who would prefer that Troy and Gabriella not get distracted from their respective clubs. The two of them end up being considered for the school musical, to the consternation of the Evans twins, Sharpay (played by Tisdale) and Ryan (played by Lucas Grabeel), who rule the drama club. Golden boy and basketball team captain Troy Bolton (played by Efron) has a Meet Cute with the brainy Gabriella Montez (played by Hudgens) at a ski resort on New Year's Eve, which transitions into awkward attraction when she later transfers to East High. The plot centers around a group of students in the fictional East High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was directed by Kenny Ortega, written by Peter Barsocchini, and starred Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale.
