He continued to delight in the film as the cast went about the task of staging a musical production based on their Senior Year of high school, while at the same time, the lead couple Troy and Gabriella were deciding what colleges they were going to attend. My son was intrigued, as he has yet to find out which of the several local kindergartens he is zoned for, and somehow identified with their situation.

When the movie reached its conclusion, a simulated graduation, complete with fireworks and marching band, and very reminiscent of the end of the movie Grease, he stood up in our living room and applauded, promising to watch the film again ‘each and every time it comes on from now until forever!’ While I hope that’s not the case, I wouldn’t hesitate to let him see the film, and the rest of the series (High School Musical and High School Musical 2) occasionally… at least until the sheer repetition drives me and his mother insane!
