He could’ve dropped an album where he only belched the alphabet and it probably would’ve fared better than some of the other entries here. Leading man and newly crowned teenage dream Zac Efron, however, was too big to fail. Not an ideal start to a music career, but the consistent, decidedly non-musical roles she’s had since don’t betray any hard feelings. One was Monique Coleman, who played the supporting role of science whiz Taylor, and who didn’t sing at all in the first movie. Only two people from the main cast of High School Musical did not shoot their shot at pop stardom. Honorable Mentions: Monique Coleman and Zac Efron Time will tell what kind of impact these new kids will leave on the music industry, but until then let’s look at the original cast’s offerings and whether they still hold up. Whether you watch the show or not, it’s hard not to be aware of the real-life relationship drama between leads Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett and the music that resulted from it, such as Rodrigo’s chart-topping, Grammy-winning album Sour, and presumably some of Bassett’s songs, too. When High School Musical: The Musical: The Series premiered on Disney+ almost 15 years later, the tradition continued, and a whole new generation of young pop stars emerged from the franchise. The Disney machine, ever with the dollar signs in its eyes, jumped at the opportunity to offer its new stars record deals to further capitalize on tween idol worship. It launched its then-mostly unknown cast into the stratosphere of fame that few low-budget, made-for-TV movies ever had before or ever will again.
