How to Watch High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

Armageddon may separate the wheat from the chaff, leaving the unworthy behind, but it’s got nothing on the high school experience. The teenage years are when the classic cliques occur, divisions between the cool and uncool, the jock, and the prep. It just makes sense to sing spontaneously about it, doesn’t it?? And so enter the fabulously meta hit series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Seventeen years after the original High School Musical, the film franchise’s original fans are out there trying to bebop their way through workdays and health insurance claims, and there is still plenty of nostalgia for the original. So we got HSMTMTS (yes, that’s the acronym), which is a mockumentary about students at the high school where the original movies were filmed. The high school does exist (you can visit it, and people often do), but the story is fiction. Read on for more on how to watch High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

More About High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

HSMTMTS has a well-established pedigree – and not just the 2006 Disney movie that spawned it. In every generation, there are those movies that help us navigate our fragile identities through those confusing teenage times. The Breakfast Club, Grease, and Mean Girls all play with the theme of high school groupings of similar-minded kids. But perhaps none have expressed this time with so many heartfelt jazz hands as High School Musical.

Like the mothership show, there are actor rivalries – the meanest thing that happens is a girl saying to another that she has no idea what it is like to be an understudy, having always had the lead. There are power ballads where the character changes mid-song into full costume. There is a lot of angst and intense emotion, as is appropriate for a show about the most emo age group on the planet. There are even some of the same songs as the original. The new characters sing some of the old songs as well as add some new ones.

Now, it must be said, on the day that HSM premiered in 2006, I was going into labor with my first child, so I didn’t quite catch onto that fandom at its peak. However, I still can appreciate what the show is trying to do (other than make yet more buckets of money off HSM.) Teens genuinely wonder how to use their time and talents best, along with how to be appreciated by their peers.

Deciding who you want to be with and why is every bit as tricky as the movies imply. Disney movies may take out drugs and overt sexuality, but they do feature plenty of issues that plague this age. Working out your feelings with musical theater is a tried-and-true method for a particular brand of a geek so that this series may be good therapy for today’s kids. Watching HSMTMTS may in itself separate you into a teenage geek group (see? Now it’s even more meta.)

However, the most satisfying thing about any of these movies (and, probably, this series) comes at the end, when we gloriously find ourselves “breaking free” of the stereotypes, making a new year of school or life the “start of something new.” After all, “we’re all in this together,” even if it’s just in musical theater.
