Disney has announced the full cast of “High School Musical: The Musical,” a new TV series that’s just begun production in Utah.

The 10-episode series is being filmed in part at East High School in Salt Lake City. It picks up 15 years after the original movie aired, following a group of students as they work toward the premiere of their high school musical — a live version of “High School Musical.”
