Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour features favourite "High School Musical" characters including Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, Sharpay, Chad and Taylor. Only this time, East High School's crew is performed by world-class skaters who dazzle audiences with amazing choreography.

In the first act, a New Years Eve party ignites a passion for singing when East High's hoops star Troy meets the beautiful and brainy Gabriella. Together they audition for the school's upcoming musical. The skates start to fly when their friends Chad and Taylor think they should stick to the status quo, and the school's top theatrical, showtune siblings Ryan and Sharpay scheme for the lead roles. Their worlds and their school turn upside down when signature hip-hop moves meet dramatic skating on the ice.

The second act takes place during the Wildcats favourite time of year – summer vacation! Sharpay's determination to steal Troy's affection brings the Wildcats together at the Lava Springs Country Club. Their dream of scoring summer jobs at the fancy club turns into their worst nightmare when Sharpay helps Troy chase his collegiate basketball dreams and in turn, causes him to chase away his best friends.

The summer talent show brings Sharpay and the Wildcats to a showdown for the coveted Star Dazzle award, until she gets the group banned from performing altogether. When Gabriella and Troy confront her, she learns a new lesson in friendship, and the summer ends on a high note for all.
