High School Musi-pocalypse • When hunky star basketball player Cory and gorgeous smart girl Alejandra are chosen to star in Miss Farkus' winter musical, their story seems suspiciously similar to a certain popular film...and one lawyer won't stand for it. But a potential lawsuit is the least of the cast's problems: money is running out, and the depressing script doesn't seem likely to generate sales. Luckily, an Ancient Mayan exchange student has written a blockbuster musical disaster -- and it's guaranteed to be the most volcanic, destructive, and lucrative musical any high school has ever seen. • Director: Garret Ross
