Five of the original cast members of Disney’s phenomenally successful made-for-TV film "High School Musical" will reunite for a 40-city North American tour of the kid-friendly production. The New York Times reports that Vanessa Anne Hudgens (Gabriella), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay), Lucas Grabeel (Ryan), Corbin Bleu (Chad) and Monique Coleman (Taylor) will all take part in the upcoming tour of High School Musical. The role of Troy, originated by Zac Efron, will be played by Andrew Seeley. Efron is currently filming "Hairspray," based on the Tony-winning musical of the same name. The High School Musical tour is scheduled to kick off Nov. 30 in San Diego, CA. The 40-city tour will continue through Jan. 28, 2007, playing its final stop in Las Vegas. Other tour destinations include Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum on Dec. 29 and New Jersey’s Continental Airlines Arena on Jan. 8, 2007. High School Musical centers on the unlikely friendship that evolves between the jock Troy and brainiac Gabriella at a karaoke contest. Little did the two know that she would be transferring to his school. The duo decide — against their friends’ wishes and to the dismay of school stars (a drama queen and her twin brother) — to audition for the high school musical.

I don’t know about you, but without Zac Efron it is just not the same.
