Premise

Each show begins in live action whereby Tom Mason (Jonathan Bailey) and Zoe Myer (Samantha Barks) are two rock pop stars touring with their band. Between shows they like to remember the good old days at their performing arts high school Groove High. As they remember key events the show presents their memories as animated flashbacks. Their memories are often slightly distorted or exaggerated and Tom and Zoe's live action counterparts frequently interrupt the flashbacks to disagree about how it really happened.

Production

Groove High is co-produced by French company Planet Nemo, Irish company Telegael Teoranta and Belgian company Nexus Factory, which co-own copyright to the series.[2] Voice recording work for the animated sections began in April 2010, with live action filming completed at Telegael Teoranta in Ireland in October 2011.[3][4] Animation was completed by Chinese company Jetoon Animation and Filipino company Philippine Animators Group Inc., who also co-produced the series, which also co-own copyright to it.[5] All music in the show including the theme song were originally written arranged and recorded by Belgian composers Eric Renwart and Marja Supponen, then sung by lead actors Bailey and Barks.[6]

After the show ended, Bailey and Barks worked together again for the musical The Last Five Years at The Other Place in London, in 2016.[7]
