Before we can have fun with the activity, here’s the aforementioned refresher. We have already gone into length about High School Musical The Musical The Series in earlier articles. For those reading about the series for the first time, here is a refresher on what the show is all about. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is a mockumentary, musical drama series inspired by the High School Musical movies. Based in the same, fictional town where the movies were filmed, the series follows a group of theater enthusiasts participating in various school productions regarding musicals.
Each season showcases a musical that each student will participate in, but that isn’t all of what is being shown in the series. The show also shows the lives of each character as they navigate through life, friendships, love, identity, interests, and familial relationships. If you’re curious to know more about the show, we highly recommend watching it! We also highly recommend watching the original films! Not only will you be impressed by what led to the eventual series, but the music being played in the films will leave you speechless!
Here are some tidbits on Ben Stillwell! A writer who not only finished his first, pilot script at 16, he completed a full table read of his script at Second City. When he’s not writing sketch comedies and sitcoms, he’s in the Improv Conservatory Program and has been honing his craft in comedy and improvisation, and has been trained at not only Second City but also at The Groundlings and LA Connection. You will certainly recognize him for the following roles: Kai from Mythic Quest, Brad from Hacks, Lyle from Young Sheldon, Ben from Roommates, Jumper and Street Thug from Astrid Clover, Michael Siletti from Murder in the First, Zach from Teen Wolf, Camden from Richie Rich, a Happy Student from Descendants, Owen from Lab Rats, James from Shake It Up, and even James Leggett from Grey’s Anatomy!
And now, onto the game! Here’s a brief synopsis of how the game works. The rules are simple! Players must answer who sang the specific song from the show by the lyrics. The answers are offered in multiple choice. The first question has a set of lyrics: “Is this home/Is this what I must learn to believe in.” Ben was offered these choices: A) Ashlyn, B) Nini, and C) Gina. Benanswers Gina, citing that the song is about home. Unfortunately for Ben, the correct answer was Ashlyn, who sang it on Season 2 Episode 6!
The next question has a set of lyrics with: “For a moment/Just a moment.”. Ben was also offered these choices for which duet sang this particular song: A) Nini and EJ, B) Ricky and Nina, and C) Nini and Seb. Ben answers with trepidation that it was Nini and Ricky, and fortunately for Ben, he was correct! The song “Just for a Moment” was sung between the two characters in the first season of episode 9! If you want to see what other questions are left and to test your knowledge of who sang what song, be sure to check out the rest of the video!
