High School Musical Archives

Jeffrey Hornaday will helm High School Musical East Meets West, the fourth movie in the franchise (he’s replacing Kenny Ortega, who directed the first three).

Said Hornaday, “I’m excited to be part of a franchise that, thematically, encourages kids to believe in themselves. Like the first three movies, my goal is to keep the art form of the traditional musical alive, yet bring a contemporary emotional response to the story and its characters through song and dance.”

Hornaday choroeographed for Flashdance and A Chorus Line and directed Madonna and Backstreet Boys world concert tours.

In High School Musical 4, East meets West in a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiered yesterday and JustJared.com wants to know your thoughts on the movie!!!

– Did you like it??? What was your favorite scene in the movie?

– How much acting did Zac and Vanessa really have to do for those kissing scenes? (My guess is not much!)

– What’s your favorite song from the soundtrack? (My favorite is “Just Wanna Be With You”. “The Boys Are Back” and “Scream” are close seconds!)

– Would you watch High School Musical 4 without the new HSM cast members? (That’d be Jemma McKenzie-Brown as Tiara Gold, Matt Prokop as Jimmie “Rocket Man” Zara and Justin Martin as Donny Dion.)

Zac Efron and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens demonstrate the classic waltz on MTV’s Total Request Live in New York on Tuesday.

The on-and-off-screen couple dance their way across the floor and onto the big screen this Friday when High School Musical 3: Senior Year releases in theaters across the county. Vanessa, 19, told co-host Lyndsey Rodrigues: “There’s just a lot more numbers, a lot more music and a lot more dancing. In fact, I actually do a waltz in one of the musical numbers and it’s crazy and I’m amazed that we actually got it done.”
