Encore! (TV series)

Encore! is an American reality television series that premiered on Disney+ on November 8, 2019. The series follows a group of former high school musical castmates who reunite decades later to recreate their original production.

Each episode focuses on a different high school and musical production. The returning cast members, often years or decades removed from their original performances, are given one week to relearn their roles, choreography, and vocals under the guidance of Broadway professionals. At the end of the week, they perform the musical for an audience of friends, family, and community members.

The series format combines elements of nostalgia, personal growth, and the challenges of revisiting past dreams and experiences. The cast members often grapple with the changes in their lives and relationships since their high school days, as well as the pressure of performing again after years away from the stage. The show emphasizes the transformative power of theatre and the enduring bonds forged through shared creative experiences.
