High School Musical 3: Senior Year (Single-Disc Theatrical Version)

Description

It’s time to celebrate as Disney’s phenomenal HIGH SCHOOL
MUSICAL hits new heights in HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR! Fresh from the
big screen, this motion picture extravaganza delivers nonstop entertainment
from start to finish! It’s almost graduation day for high school seniors Troy,
Gabriella, Sharpay, Chad, Ryan and Taylor — and the thought of heading off in
separate directions after leaving East High has these Wildcats thinking they
need to do something they’ll remember forever. Together with the rest of the
Wildcats, they stage a spring musical reflecting their hopes and fears about
the future and their unforgettable experiences growing up together. But with
graduation approaching and college plans in question, what will become of the
dreams, romances and friendships of East High’s senior Wildcats? Find out what
happens to all your favorite characters in the big screen musical sensation,
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR! It’s a fabulous celebration the whole
family will love! High School Musical 3: Senior Year is the third
film in Disney’s record-smashing series, and the first to debut in theaters
rather than on the Disney Channel, and while many of the elements are the
same, the film is at times bigger to accommodate the big screen. All the usual
characters are back, but not for long: it’s senior year, and the classmates
are all facing the prospect of leaving East High in separate directions. Troy
(Zac Efron) is ready to play hoops at the University of Albuquerque with best
friend Chad (Corbin Bleu), but doesn’t want to be a thousand miles away from
Stanford-bound Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens). Taylor (Monique Coleman) is headed
to Yale, while Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), and the
school’s pianist-composer Kelsi (Olesya Rulin) are all in the running for a
single scholarship to Juilliard. The showcase for them will be Ms. Darbus’ new
musical, Senior Year, which will recap the academic careers of the students
themselves. (So if the original HSM was a retelling of Grease, HSM3 is more A
Chorus Line.) There are a few new characters: Sharpay’s personal assistant
Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown), and Troy’s hangers-on, Rocket Man (Matt
Prokop) and Donny Dion (Justin Martin), who may give the franchise life beyond
its original cast (if they make some headway in the likability department).
But it’s all about the songs and the dances. Ryan and Sharpay sizzle in a
classic-musical tribute “I Want It All”; Troy and Gabriella share a rooftop
waltz in “Can I Have This Dance”; and Troy and Chad blow off steam in a
salvage yard in “The Boys Are Back.” “Now or Never” is this film’s “sports
song,” and Troy and Gabriella have their big duet “Just Wanna Be With You” and
their own showcases, in “Scream” and “Walk Away,” respectively. If the closing
anthem, “High School Musical,” seems on the self-congratulatory side, it’s a
rare misstep in a series that has made a generation of tweens (especially
girls) sing and dance and realize they can be whatever they want to be.
