After winning the 2018 National High School Musical Theatre Award (aka the Jimmy Award) as a high school sophomore, Andrew Barth Feldman made his Broadway debut a year later as the title character in the Tony Award-winning musical “Dear Evan Hansen.” Barth Feldman, who will attend Harvard University next year, also runs a theatre company that he founded at age twelve, Zneefrock Productions. Zneefrock Productions partners theatre with advocacy, raising funds for several charitable causes.  Barth Feldman plays French exchange student “Antoine” in “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.”

Best known for his starring role as “Jonah Beck” on Disney Channel’s award-winning series “Andi Mack,” singer-songwriter Asher Angel recently released his debut single “One Thought Away,” featuring Wiz Khalifa.  He starred as Billy Batson in Warner Brothers DC Universe feature film “Shazam!,” the younger alter-ego of Zachary Levi’s titular character and will reprise the role in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.”  In season two of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” Angel plays “Jack,” a charming, smooth-talking student with wanderlust.

“The cast and I are excited for fans to see how Andrew and Asher expand our East High cinematic universe,” said Federle.

Barth Feldman and Angel join the previously announced recurring guest stars: Derek Hough (“Dancing with the Stars”) as “Zack,” the new drama teacher at East High’s rival high school, who returns to Salt Lake after a successful acting career in New York City; Roman Banks (Broadway’s “Dear Evan Hansen”) as “Howie,” a high school junior who works after school as a delivery guy for Big Red’s family’s pizza shop, Salt Lake Slices; and Olivia Rose Keegan (“Days of Our Lives”) as “Lily,” an energetic East High student whose sweetness masks her highly competitive nature.  The series regulars are Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie, Larry Saperstein, Julia Lester, Dara Reneé, Frankie Rodriguez, Joe Serafini, Mark St. Cyr and Kate Reinders.

In season two, the East High Wildcats, who are preparing to perform “Beauty and the Beast” as their spring musical, face off against rival school North High to win a prestigious and cutthroat student theater competition. Wigs are snatched, loyalties are tested, and ballads are belted. The season also features brand-new solos written by Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.

Are you as excited as we are Wildcats for the new season?

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
