We’re heading straight down nostalgia lane because High School Musical is officially 20, and yes, it still rules. And you can bet, Emily's ready to walk Laura through the movie that basically made her who she is today.

We unpack our favourite characters, call out the ones who might be a little too “pick me” in hindsight, and relive out the musical numbers we’ve been singing (hell, maybe belting) for two decades.

Plus, some hard truths: what High School Musical actually teaches us about life, love… how to juggle basketball AND a musical theatre career. Spoiler: the franchise might be deeper than you remember.
