Airing on ABC on Thursday 16 April, The Disney Family Singalong will see former Disney stars perform a number of their biggest hits from self-isolatoin, with special performances from Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato. All of the core HSM cast, which also includes Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel and Monique Coleman have signed up to sing a group rendition of “We’re All In This Together”, although Efron was a late addition to the project. “It’s a really nice fun coming together of a lot of young people that are banding together under the lyrics of this song for the show.” Airing on Disney Channel in 2006, High School Musical made stars of Efron and Hudgens, releasing two more movie sequels and a Disney+ mockumentary spin-off, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
