high school musical SING-ALONG *FIRST-TIME REACTION* 

If Rizzo is mad about them singing about not singing he's gonna LOSE his mind at I Don't Dance. HSM 2 is absolutely the best one

"What the heck are those two DOING IN A TREE?" The delivery cracks me up every single time 😂

The absolute best way to watch these movies is just like this. One person who has never seen them and has no idea what's going on and one person who knows every detail, every song, and every behind the scenes story who is stoked as hell to be here.

Benji: I should probably stop singing at some point, right? *immediately continues* 😂😂

“I can’t sit still like a dumbass while you sing the whole movie.” - Rizzo, 2021.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE TWO DOING IN A TREE?! >:(" will never not be iconic, I'm sorry

Benji is adorable. You can see him regressing back to his childhood/teen years while he sings along.

Watching Benji’s unadulterated joy at this wholesome ass movie healed my inner child a little bit. I was also a pop up version, sing along, dance along kid and seeing someone else who’s like me was so refreshing. HSM Adults forever!

“I know you didn’t go to highschool, but this is *EXACTLY* what it was like.” Im just here to confirm this 🙂😂🤣

It’s so hard not to sing along to these movies. This and Cheetah Girl songs will never leave my memory 😂

FUN FACT: Gabrielle’s voice was dubbed in her solo song. the low notes are a completely different voice!!!! 🤣

Rizzo saying Bop to the Top was the worst song was the most blasphemous statement in this video. Gabriella’s song was RIGHT THERE 😂😂😂

teen beach movie was actively an aware musical movie on the Disney channel and it’s hilarious. Highly recommend if we go down the torture rizzo with musicals route

For Rizzo: Songs in musicals are non-diegetic in that the characters don't hear the music. The songs are used to express the feelings and/or emotion of the character, or they give exposition (greek chorus) or plot like a disney villain song. The songs are used to highlight the important part of the musical. Although sometimes the songs can diegetic in which the characters do hear the songs like soaring and flying. Also when my high school did Big Fish the musical we had two casts. One night the Edward Bloom was sick and couldn't sing so the other Edward ended up preforming that night but his cousin was playing Sandra Edward's wife. And they did have to kiss eachother.

Did anyone else sing with Benji every time? 😂 we need a karaoke episode with Benji

Rizzo during Bop to the Top: 😟🤢 Benji during Bop to the Top: 🕺😩🎤

Now you gotta watch "Another Cinderella Story" because Drew Seeley, who does Troy's singing in this movie, is the main male role in it.

Benji is me everytime I watch a musical. Only issue is I would annoy the house so I just end up singing in my head. I would love to just sing through a whole musical like Mamma Mia because I know that one by heart.

I don’t think I stopped smiling/laughing for the entirety of this video 😂

The soundtrack to this series is like a sleeper code activation for those who grew up with it. It’s almost impossible to not sing along😭

Guys, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!

Zac Efron only sings some parts of some songs, because Drew Seeley was supposed to be Troy and recorded the songs. God I love fun facts that I should not have retained for this many years. I'm loving this already, Rizzo annoyed at Benji for singing along to the literal first song 😂😂

I can relate to Benji! When I was a kid I HATED GABRIELLA'S solo songs but the older I got, the more I started to love them. Gotta Go My Own Way is my fave out of the 3 solo songs. But if I have to choose my favorite song out of the 3 movies is a toss up betwwen All For One and Can I Have This Dance.

Idk why people hate on Gabriella’s songs, I love them 💜

God the energy between you guys is so great. I’m addicted to your videos. Just found y’all yesterday and now I’m binging. How do these two not have more subscribers or views?!?! I’ve never been more entertained!

When re-watching these movies with a friend I commented "You know you've grown up (and realized you're queer) when your main focus in these movies shifts from Troy Bolton to Ryan Evans as the best character." and honestly that pretty much sums me up 😂 Also Benji in these is literally all of us reliving our childhoods. Also the "But then I became older and I got sadder and I was like...'I feel it.'" LITERALLY KILLED ME WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE

It's not often that I ACTUALLY laugh out loud but I did several times during this video... can't wait for the sequels!

I can't wait to see the "is Chad/Ryan confirmed" discourse, but I have to start at the beginning! This was great, guys.

Personal opinion Corbin Bleu was cute ASF then I as a teenage girl had a massive crush on him, but then I saw him again he's still drop dead gorgeous 😍

High School Musical was one of my favorite movie series as a kid. This was peak Disney in the 2000s and Kenny Ortega was making hit after hit. I'm glad I'm rewatching this series with ya'll again.

The “Angry Dance song” from 2 as I lovingly call it is the one that made me a fan. My friends are Benji and I’m Rizzo with this series! Love you two!! 😃🙌🏾

I was Benji this entire video singing along. Loved that you guys did this! Rizzo's face during bop to the top was amazing. Fun fact, I had the exact same shirt Gabriella did in her sad song and I would pretend I was dressing up like her when I wore it...

the fact that Benji is literally me with anyone i watch HSM with singing every song word for word. BRILLIANT !! hahaha

Honestly this is the best way to start 2022! Every single time i'm watching one of your reactions i feel like we're group of friends watching a movie together and i'm there with you, i would give everything to have friends like both of you. Happy New Year's guys, can't wait for another reaction!

2:23 benji “i should stop at some point right” also benji *continues singing* 😂 freaking killed me

Benji is me whenever these movies come on, I remember every WORD!! Can't wait for 2, which is in my opinion the superior HSM movie (though they are all magical) And for Rizzo: Not only are Ryan and Sharpay siblings, they're twins! So double the ick factor!

Man, I'm living the life with this reaction! As a hardcore HSM fan I'm enjoying every moment and absolutely mouthing the words to all songs. Can't wait to be checking the other two reactions right after this one.

RIZZO’S cap is actually brilliant! It’s one of my favourite series. And of course, we know the Linda connection.

Benji is literally my spirit animal when watching musicals!! HSM 2 is by far my favorite...Bet on it, is top tier and I will be joining Benji in singing along! Also side note, I never thought it was weird about Sharpay and Ryan....but it is definitely odd..

I am Benji in this, can’t help but sing along. Thanks for helping me start 2022 with a smile. Also incredible coincidence cause one of my favorite podcasts (the Choir Room podcast) just did a 3-part podcast on HSM1. Love that the movies are still getting love.

Also, the fellow with the Cello was arrested for robbing a pizzeria, which is less fun, but still a fact...

The movie was filmed as if it were a stage play. So it makes more sense when Sharpay doesn’t see Gabriella in the bathroom and the “curtain” comes up before the ending basketball game scene, etc…

Rizzo spends at least 5 minutes being repulsed by brother sister dancing.... 3 minutes later different scene - this movie is wholesome lol

My theatre camp put on a production of HSM when I was younger. I played the Cello Skater Kid. At the end of that summer, I got an award for "being the only one to say OH in We're All in This Together." Everyone else would often forget to sing the background words like "yeah" and "oh" and there was a time where I was the ONLY ONE to say OH and it was so embarrassing but also hilarious bc it's a huge musical number so just a single lonely dude from the back yelling OH killed everyone.

The first song is diagetic but then later songs are non-diagetic. The mixture is one of the key elements that got so many kids invested, in my opinion. It sweeps you into the world.

The way I was just singing with Benji 😭 I can’t help it the songs will always be catchy now how could anyone think sharpay and Ryan during that dance or song was anything more 💀 I will never get it

There just needs to be another movie where they go to a five or more year reunion. The guy who said you'll thank me later is a teacher at their previous school. They thank Mr. Blank for putting them on stage together right after doing an amazing and wholesome throwback performance

what the HECK are those two DOING IN A TREE!?!?! He steals the film with that one line🤣💀

omg I physically can not wait until next week to see benji during bet on it and specifically the bridge of gotta go my own way (also please make sure that rizzo gets to see “huma huma” if it’s not in the version you watch!!)

Oh, just you wait until I Don't Dance it's AWESOME. Also, they switch clothes after the song and I'm not saying they did the horizontal tango....but I believe they danced

My high school was possibly the first one to get the rights to the stage play of HMS in fall ‘06… my favorite part was that we added mini video interviews during intermission, which included someone being like “how do they all know the words to these songs? When is rehearsal??” Edit: the “breaking free” vine makes me scream every time 😂

I rewatch ""old"" romcoms by watching you guys react to them, and every time you guys make me laugh out loud XD Glad to see yall having fun, it's infectious

Benji, I know every word to Getcha Head in The Game because it is so dramatic and hilarious. The basketball choreography is *chef's kiss*

This really made me laugh. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦

everyone loves troy and gabriella, but literally no one talks about chad and taylor. she changed him for the better. he literally proved he would do anything for her, and i haven’t seen them break up and get back together like 4 times. plus the actors have so much chemistry on and off camera. (real life they are best friends and see each other so much still). the reason they couldn’t show anything more than holding hands/arms or hugging with them is because at the time corbin was a minor when their characters started dating and monique was legally an adult so they legally couldn’t do anything more with it but they recently made a movie together in 2021 where they play each other’s love interest again and they gave the chad and taylor shippers something we’ve been wanting for forever.

It’s also ironic that Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale were both on Suit Life of Zack and Cody together for like one or two episodes, and they had to pretend to dislike each other, and then Olesya Rulin and Lucas Grabiel (Kelsey and Ryan) were both in Halloweentown High

HSM is the best. I loved the pop-ups too, Benji! The songs were so freaking good. Between HSM and Hocus Pocus Kenny Ortega was foundational for my formative years. I'm sorry I missed your premiere but you guys were hilarious as always! Can't wait for next week! Edit: Rizzo nailed the Zac Efron face!

these movies were my IDENTITY in junior high school💀💀i love them

not them starting hsm on my birthday, love that for me 👉🏼👈🏼

I used to play basketball. Some coaches be like that. My dad is also a basketball coach, and on occasion he was my coach. But like he didn't enforce training at home, but sometimes over the summer he brought us down to a stadium to train.

Rizzo’s Get Your Head on The Single Ladies is soo GOOODDD😭😂👌😮‍💨🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤍🤍👌🤭🤍

WOW!! I DID NOT know that that guy was their choreographer!! I swear, I DID NOT KNOW till now!! Learn something new everyday! 🤔😊

Ooof I remember that HSM is big deal to us because Vanessa is half Filipina hahahaha, me and my friends are sooo obsessed with HSM that I even have a deck of cards with their pictures.

Me and my cousins wondered why Zac didn’t sing in HSM because before HSM2 we had both seen Zac in Hairspray where he did his own vocals in that movie

Was singing right along with you. Every word to every song.

I already can see Benji absolutely killing it on Fabulous, can’t wait for the next video!

Benji! We do karaoke for New Years every year at my house! Even got engaged during karaoke last year! So much fun!

I love how this high school championship game is being played at one of the schools and not at a neutral site.

So many people hated 'bop to the top' but everyone screamed out loud when this song came in suite life of Zack and cody 😂

Yes!!!!! We’ve been waiting!!! Starting the new year right!!

I can honestly watch Benji sing all the HSM songs all day and Rizzo just watch Benji too lol

thank you guys for making my first week of the year a little better, love yall 🤍

Rizzo mortified by the bop to the top

I can't look at Ashley Tisdale in these movies and not immediately see Candace from Phineas and Ferb.

As a homeschooler, I didn’t get a phone till 18 either 😂 I guess it is a homeschool thing

As a super fan, I relate to Benji. I cannot wait to see you react to the others!

It’s physically impossible not to sing the songs! 🔥

Missed you guys! Perfect movie to start the new year! I am Benji haha, the whole video singing along, cant wait for HSM2 and 3 :D Happy new year to you two

I just have to say you guys are my favorite react channel. Your commentary and interactions with each other make me laugh out loud and I rewind to watch the moments again. Thank you for putting time and care into making your videos, I love watching them.

I had a cd alarm clock growing up. Every single morning, I woke up to the High School Musical soundtrack. Those were the good old days 😭

This is the first movie reaction I’ve seen where the reactors are so hyped and positive about everything there’s going on in the movie 🙌🏽💜 And after you brought out the Lisa- Money song, which made me realise that you’re a kpop stan, I now have so much more respect for you!💕✨ Fire reaction! And I LOVE the sparkly headphones!

Y’all have just made my day with this😂

We need a Benji sing-a-long 😂😂

First react I’ve seen from you two. This was fun. I thought it be way too much energy for me but I ended up having fun watching you both .looking forward to the next one.

Love you guys. Had so much fun watching this one. Benji is me trying to contain myself watching a musical with any other human haha

Happy New Year!! Excited to see what you guys have in store this year

You guys make me feel like I'm facetiming two friends and I love it

Underrated song - What I've been looking for. Sharpay, Ryan

Happy New year guys💜 as soon as I saw this line up, I KNEW this was going to be the most hilariously CHAOTIC reaction and I was right 🤣🤣🤣

So excited to see more of theses it always feels like I’m hanging with you guys I love it so much I legit rewatch ur videos everyday

RIZZOS Zac sad face puppy look is amazing!!

Rizzo, I wish that they had done a Breaking Bad cross over, that would have been iconic and... wild 😂

Loved this reaction guys! Happy new year!❤️❤️
