High School Musical<\/em> took over 7.7 million TV screens in the United States when it premiered in 2006, making it the highest-rated Disney Channel Original Movie at the time.<\/p>\n

The film followed basketball star Troy Bolton (Zac Efron<\/strong><\/a>) and an intelligent transfer student, Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens<\/strong><\/a>), as they break the status quo of East High School by auditioning for the spring musical, much to drama duo Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale<\/strong><\/a>) and Ryan Evans\u2019 (Lucas Grabeel<\/strong><\/a>) displeasure.<\/p>\n

The wildly popular film, which also starred Corbin Bleu<\/strong><\/a>, Monique Coleman<\/strong><\/a> and more, spawned two sequels, 2007\u2019s High School Musical 2<\/em> and 2008\u2019s High School Musical 3: Senior Year.<\/p>\n

In April 2019, Monique Coleman, who portrayed Gabriella\u2019s friend Taylor McKessie, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> what it was like filming with a young cast.<\/p>\n
