The Disney+ show returns to Salt Lake City to film its fourth and final season.
Frankie Rodriguez, Julia Lester, Joshua Bassett, Sofia Wylie and Dara Reneé is "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series."Season 4 of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” is both a homecoming and a farewell.
When Federle, who was raised in Pittsburgh, dreamed up the idea for “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” he’d spent very little time in Utah. But he knew he wanted the series to film where the three “HSM” movies were produced. Season 1 revolved around a high school theater production of the first “High School Musical” movie, staged at the real East High with a cast of “real” East High students. In Season 2, the East kids mounted a production of “Beauty and the Beast.” In Season 3, they went to theater camp.
“And, yeah, I have a lot of pride for the show we made,” he added. “Very specifically because of the Utah vibes, which radiate warmth and joy.” The series’ creator is proud that his show made it through Season 4. He’s particularly proud that the streaming series won over fans, many of whom expressed great doubts about it before it premiered.
He readily acknowledged that the movies “were so special, and they resonated with a generation of viewers.” But, he added, “I think being more inclusive and more modern is sort of why you should reboot something. And with our series, we really wanted to tell other stories that included queer voices and Black voices in a maybe more modern way. The story of anxiety. The story of getting into college or not getting into college.
