STUCK IN THE MIDDLE's Joshua Bassett Cast in the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL Series
Disney is making a show about a high school putting on a production of High School Musical. I don’t know why they’re doing this, but they are. They have now cast their lead. Joshua Bassett from Stuck in the Middle will play Ricky in High School Musical: The Musical. In case you don’t remember, here’s Ricky’s description:
“A snarky sweetheart, a B-minus student, and our star. Ricky’s been dating fellow junior Nini for a year. When she unexpectedly breaks up with Ricky, he launches a bold plan to get Nini back — by auditioning to star opposite her in the school’s production of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. Ricky’s class-clowning covers a deep fear that he’s not actually great at anything, except coasting by on charm. Constantly attempting get-rich-quick schemes with best friend and fellow skater Big Red. Stays up too late bingeing GoPro stunt videos on YouTube. Voted “Most likely to sleep through his alarm.”
I’m not going to lie, part of me is intrigued to see just how much of a train wreck this show ends up being. Disney’s streaming platform is set to launch in 2019 and HSM: The Musical is expected to debut shortly thereafter. Who would you cast in the other lead roles?
