‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’: 1 Character Compared Joshua Bassett to Marvel’s Tom Holland
Fans of this series compare Joshua Bassett to Shawn Mendes and other singers. However, one cast member even said that this High School Musical: The Musical: The Series cast member looks like Marvelās Spider-Man: Far From Home actor, Tom Holland.Ā
Hereās what we know about the cast members from season 2 of this Disney+ original series.
Cast members returned for āHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Seriesā season 2, including Joshua Bassett
Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat, even if these theater nerds are branching out from their High School Musical roots. For season 2 of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, these characters are rehearsing a stage production of Disneyās Beauty and the Beast, led by Miss Jenn.
The problem is a new competition the school is entering and their bitter rival, North High School. This new season featured returning cast members like Olivia Rodrigo (Nini) and Bassett (Ricky), who created original songs for this Disney+ series.Ā
Season 2 also featured new characters, including the North High exchange student named Antoine. While he was alone with Ashlyn, this character stirred up trouble for the Wildcats.Ā
One character from āHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Seriesā compared Joshua Bassett to Tom Holland
When the East High School students snuck over to North High School, one of the rival theater nerds talked to Ashlyn. That was Antoine, who tried to ask this character out. The singer said she was flattered, but she had a boyfriend.
When it came to pointing out the East High students, the exchange student compared Ricky to Tom Holland, the actor known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (He wasnāt exactly wrong, as Ashlyn pointed out.)
āI assume itās that dashing young man who looks like Tom Holland on stilts,ā Antoine said to Ashlyn, turning to Ricky. This wouldnāt be the first time a High School Musical: The Musical: The Series character made a pop culture reference, comparing Bassettās character to other celebrities.
Big Red told Ricky that he sang and looked like Shawn Mendes
Before the cast members learned of the official Miss Jenn pick for the spring musical, the Wildcats assumed they would be performing High School Musical 2. As a result, Ricky showed Big Red his original version of āBet On It.āĀ
āDude, youāre totally going to get the part,ā Big Red said after Rickyās impromptu Troy Bolton performance. āYou look like Shawn Mendes, and you sing like Shawn Mendes.ā
Even other cast members shared their love for celebrities. During season 2ās premiere, Kourtnee made a vision board of powerful women, including BeyoncĆ© in her 2018 Coachella outfit and United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
New episodes of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series debut on Disney+ weekly.Ā
