About the High School Musical DVD

High School Musical, the contemporary movie musical that has captivated kids, tweens and families as part of the blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie franchise, and is the highest-rated original programming in the history of the network, will debut on Disney DVD, May 23, 2006. A "break into song" production, the comedic High School Musical follows two teens, Troy and Gabriella, who must learn to believe in themselves and follow their dreams, despite the polarization of high school cliques. Allowing fans to experience even more, the DVD will include two versions of the film -- the original telecast version and an exciting sing-along version which displays lyrics on screen during all musical numbers, so audiences can learn the words of the film's chart-topping songs.

"High School Musical" is an entertainment industry sensation. A contemporary musical comedy, (as of April 14) it has aired ten times (January 20-March 24) on Disney Channel. Over the course of its ten telecasts, the movie has delivered 34 million unique Total Viewers, 18.8 million Households, 10.0 million Kids 6-11 and 10.5 million Tweens 9-14.

The High School Musical soundtrack from Walt Disney Records has been certified double platinum by the R.I.A.A. The duet, "Breaking Free" is a platinum single and four additional singles, including the rhythmic "Get'cha Head in the Game," "What I've Been Looking For," "We're All in this Together," and "Start of Something New" are all gold. An exciting "High School Musical Special Edition" 2-CD soundtrack will be released on the same day as the DVD's debut, May 23, 2006.
