Until Troy met Gabriella, his big dream was to win the basketball championship. But ever since they sang karaoke together on New Years Eve, Troy can't get his mind off trying for the lead role in the school musical- with Gabriella as his partner! Gabriella is struggling, too. The Schoslatic Decathalon Team could really use her help, but it would be fun to sing with Troy again.And, all their friends say its a bad idea they sing together and that Troy and Gabriella should 'stick to the status quo'.
