Get a glimpse of Into the Woods Tony nominee Julia Lester taking on "Now or Never" from High School Musical 3 in the newly released trailer above.

Reed also notably played Cassie in the screen adaptation of A Chorus Line.
Newly joining the cast in recurring roles are Kylie Cantrall as social media star Dani, Matthew Sato as sitcom actor Mack, Caitlin Reilly as indie film director Quinn, and Broadway alum Vasthy Mompoint (SpongeBob SquarePants, The Prom) as choreographer Krystal.

Inspired by Disney Channel's High School Musical film franchise, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is a scripted, mockumentary-style show that follows students at a fictionalized version of Salt Lake City's East High School, where the original films were shot. The first season centered on the school's first-ever production of the stage adaptation of High School Musical, while the second season saw the drama department take on Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The series' third season, which premiered on Disney+ last year, followed the Wildcats to Camp Shallow Lake, where they performed Disney's Frozen.
