The former High School Musical franchise co-stars are starring in A Christmas Dance Reunion for Lifetime.
“It’s the most wonderful time of year with @Lifetimetv! 🎄Don’t miss my new holiday movie #AChristmasDanceReunion with @corbinbleu,” Monique shared on Instagram.
HSM director Kenny Ortega commented, “My heart is warmed seeing you two together! What a wonderful way for all your fans, including me, to welcome in the holidays! 👏❤️”
Zac Efron joined the High School Musical cast on the Disney Family Singalong on Thursday night (April 16), though he sadly didn’t sing with them.
The cast reunited to perform the smash hit song “We’re All in This Together” from their own homes. Zac is supposedly quarantined in the “middle of nowhere” with poor WiFi, but he sent in a grainy video that served as an introduction to the performance.
“Hi everyone, I hope that you’re safe and that you’re healthy and that you’re doing as well as possible during these unprecedented times. It’s my greatest pleasure to introduce a musical performance by some of my oldest friends, and some new ones. I hope that you enjoy, and remember, we’re all in this together,” Zac said. He unfortunately didn’t sing with the cast, but you can watch the performance below!
“I wanted to find something I can do to participate and it was so great to be given the call and invited by ABC to join,” Kenny shared. “It gave me a purpose to get up every morning. I feel really good that we have an opportunity to do something like this — it’s good medicine.”
He added about Zac‘s participation, who will appear in a special video message: “We couldn’t reach Zac until late but when we did, he immediately jumped in, of course. Everyone we reached out to was quick — and you’ll see it in their spirit and the way they come together from their homes. They recognize this is an opportunity to strengthen spirits for those joining us for the broadcast.”
The Wildcats are expected to be performing their signature song, “We’re All In this Together” on the program.
The Disney Family Singalong is slated to air on Thursday, April 16 at 8/7c on ABC.
