High School Musical: The Musical - The Series
Description
Put on your tap shoes, prep your showmance and get off vocal rest because we are talking the wild and ridiculous HSM:TM:TS (yes, you have to say the WHOLE title every time).
This is a very Brenna show, but it also has lots to talk about: why can't the writers acknowledge Ashlyn is fat? Does the show have a responsibility to depict real life issues like racism when it's so clearly fantasy escapism? How does the series make up for the lack of explicit queerness in the original HSM film series and where does Mormonism come into play (we may need help with that last part).
Plus: comparisons to A Week Away and Glee, Miss. Jenn as a Kristin Chenoweth doppelgänger, and Joe's struggle to enjoy the central romance knowing the very public IRL fall-out between stars Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett!
