In addition, the new musical has been revealed for the upcoming second season – Beauty and the Beast.
“The outpouring of love and support for season one has been incredibly exciting, and I’m thrilled that the Wildcats are putting on Beauty and the Beast in season two,” creator Tim Federle said in a statement. “It was one of the first Broadway shows I ever saw, when I was 14, and it’s got all the perfect metaphors for the high school experience: Do people judge me for how I look? What is true love? Will I achieve the future I dream of? And, perhaps most importantly, it’s got dancing forks.”
Check out a taste of what to expect from the cast!
On the end of Bizaardvark: “I started that work when I was 12 years old and kind of grew up on that show and grew up with all my castmates. So, having [the series end] is actually quite hard with a very emotional, definitive end of a chapter. But it was such a great experience and you know, everybody tells me don’t cry…because it happened. I try to have that mindset about the whole last season. I…took the lessons that I learned from that set throughout my whole life and I’m still best friends with so many people that I met on the show. So, yeah it was a great experience.”
On the pressure of filling the shoes of the original HSM: “Yeah that’s definitely real pressure from being a part of this amazing franchise. I’m like oh gosh am I doing it right? It’s such a nostalgic prospect franchise for people including me. After reading the whole script and talking to all the writers and amazing showrunners I had so much to talk to them about what we were doing. What they said to me is they’re not remaking it at all because there is just no way you could makeover High School Musical. There is no way to recapture that lightning in a bottle that franchise was. It was a totally new, modern, different twist, honestly, while still paying respect to the movies put me at ease. So, I think when people realize we’re doing a new thing they’ll be able to accept it.”
On her favorite memory on set: “We had so much fun! I think my favorite memory with all of us was my birthday. I turned 16 on set and so everybody took me to go roller-skating in Utah. My best friend actually flew out from LA to come and surprise me in Utah at the roller-skating rink. We all just skated around, had so much fun, and the DJ at the roller ring played my favorite music and it was just a ball. I remember feeling in the moment. I was where I belonged which was a really nice feeling.”
“I hear a High School Musical reference multiple times a week,†Vanessa explained to ABS-CBN.
She continued, “However, it is something I find joy in. It allows me to reminisce a bit and connect to my younger self. That project opened up so many doors for me and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
The 19-year-old High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star took part in Ellen’s Debate Club recently and was asked between “We’re All In This Together” or “Get’cha Head In The Game”.
“I think ‘We’re All In This Together’ is more iconic, probably because it’s catchier,” Joshua dished. “But there’s a soft spot in my heart for ‘Get’cha Head In The Game’, because I was JV Jock #2 in CYT’s production of ‘High School Musical’ when I was eight years old, and I dribbled a basketball. Although, my crossover was cut, which is devastating, but I still love that number, so it’s got a special place in my heart.”
