As Deadline reports, High School Musical stars Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens and Corbin Bleu will be joined by director Kenny Ortega and other performers such as Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel and Raven-Symoné.

The stars of Disney films and shows such as The Descendants, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and Zombies will also join.

Meanwhile, Zac Efron will reportedly send in a special message for the broadcast.
