'High School Musical' reality show on way

ABC is developing a reality television series based on High School Musical.

Contestants will be picked from across the US then brought together to train and test their skills. There will be weekly knock-outs until a winner is picked.

The show will also feature regular High School Musical-themed tie-ins expected to include appearances from its stars.

ABC is hoping to air the as-yet-untitled show in the summer. It is the first time Disney Channel has licensed its School Musical title to other broadcasters.
