1574: High School Musical at 20 (with Robin Jones, Kimberly Luce & Michael Healy)

Join DJ Bob as he celebrates the 20th anniversary of Disney Channel’s most well-known original movie, High School Musical! Join Bob as he talks with some unsung heroes behind the scenes. First, he talks to Robin Jones, the VP of Programming at Radio Disney from 1996 to 2007. They discuss the success of the album before the movie even aired (and it being the best-selling album of 2006). Then Bob talks to Kimberly Luce, the Director of Program Scheduling on Disney Channel at the time, and Michael Healy, the Senior VP of Disney Channel Original Movies for more than a decade and a half. They discuss what was going on behind the scenes to bring this film to audiences, their first encounters with this film, whether or not a musical would even work on Disney Channel, the moment that they knew it was something special and lots of other fun tidbits!
