Die-hard High School Musical fans are all freaking out as the movie’s former Disney actors have made surprise returns to East High and a full HSM reunion is set to be on the cards!
High School Musical fans have all joined forces online to freak out over two of the biggest HSM OGs showing love to the Wildcats.
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, who played Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez respectively, both visited the real Salt Lake East High - the home of the Wildcats - just weeks apart (and yes - we’re screaming, too!).
It all started when Vanessa shared a TikTok from outside of the school to the sound of the iconic ‘Breaking Free’ track she sang at the end of the first movie.

Just a short few weeks later, Disney fans were sent into a frenzy all over again as Zac visited the school and snapped himself in front of the very same spot as his former co-star and ex-girlfriend.
But what exactly does this mean? Are we getting a HSM reboot?!
Here’s the lowdown on why the HSM alumni have returned to East High and what's really going on with the alleged HSM reunion…

Why Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron returned to East High
Neither Zac or Vanessa gave a hint about why they returned to East High weeks apart from each other.
However, in the caption of Vanessa’s post, she quoted a line from Gabriella in HSM, writing: "Do you remember in kindergarten how you'd meet a kid and know nothing about them, then 10 seconds later you're playing like you're best friends because you didn't have to be anything but yourself?"
Zac referenced another teen high school movie in his caption, simply writing: "Don’t you … Forget about me," referencing Simple Minds' song from The Breakfast Club.
Fans have speculated why the pair visited the school during such a similar time frame, with some wondering if this means they could be guest starring on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, starring Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.
This theory is looking very likely after Disney confirmed that when the students return for their first day back in Season 4, they also learn that the school is being used to film the long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie - and excitingly, they’ll all be playing featured extras.
Zac and Vanessa’s former HSM co-star Corbin Bleu is even set to guest star as a fictional version of himself in HSMTMTS season 3, so maybe the OGs' cameo could be on the cards?!
Will there be a High School Musical reboot?
The potential OG HSM reunion has us all excited and even Zac admitted back in May that he’d be on board for one if the opportunity came about!
In a chat with E! News, he said: “My heart is still there… I hope it happens," he said at the time.
Our fingers are officially crossed!
