Troy is also the Wildcat captain, a star player and the son of basketball coach. Troy also enjoys snowboarding. Troy and Chad have known each other since preschool.

Gabriella Montez

Gabriella Montez (portrayed by Vanessa Hudgens) is the female protagonist, who has a secret crush on Troy. She is a shy and a very intelligent student who has just changed schools. She originally meets Troy at a New Years party when they are forced to sing a karaoke duet. She meets him again when she moves to the same school as Troy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is reluctant to let everybody know of her past achievements, but soon everybody finds out through the internet, that she has won numerous Scholastic Competitions. She had previously been in a church choir, but passed out after having everybody stared at her while singing solo. She and Troy audition for their high school musical, get a callback, and then win the lead parts for the winter musical. She also helps East High win the Scholastic Decathlon award.

Sharpay Evans

Sharpay Evans (portrayed by Ashley Tisdale) is the antagonist of High School Musical. She is an arrogant person who always wants her way. She has a domineering personality and likes to be in control even of her twin brother Ryan. She auditions with him for the winter school musical against Troy and Gabriella. When she discovers that Troy and Gabriella have a callback, she changes the callback date in order to make sure that Troy and Gabriella fail to get the leads. The plan however fails with the aid of Taylor and Chad. Sharpay ends up being the understudy for Gabriella, and in the end, wishes Gabriella good luck by telling her to break a leg. Chad, at one point, calls Sharpay and Ryan "show dogs"; the Shar Pei, a homophone of Sharpay, is a kind of dog. She also refers to famous Broadway songwriter Stephen Sondheim by calling Kelsi "my sawed-off Sondheim". Despite her resentment of Troy and Gabriella taking the lead from her in the school musical, she seems to have a small crush or interest in Troy, and feels somewhat jealous of Gabriella. It should also be noted that at the end of High School Musical, she seems to at least get along with Troy and Gabriella. Yet, in High School Musical 2, she reverts to hating Gabriella, and develops an interest for Troy.

Ryan Evans

Ryan Evans (portrayed by Lucas Grabeel) is the twin brother and acting partner of Sharpay Evans, with whom he has starred in seventeen school productions to date. In High School Musical, both Ryan and his sister function as antagonists, while in High School Musical 2, he becomes a protagonist. Ryan is an excellent dancer and singer, tending to lean toward high-energy, upbeat songs and expressive choreography, often to the point of absurdity. He has a much more highly developed sense of fashion than most East High students, wearing button down shirts and slacks and topping each outfit with some type of hat. The hats are one of Ryan's most notable features; he wears over twenty different ones throughout the two films. In High School Musical, both Ryan and his sister function as antagonists, attempting to keep Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez from winning the lead roles in the school's winter musical, Twinkle Towne. In spite of a few moments where Ryan appears annoyed by Sharpay's domineering attitude, he accepts her leadership unquestioningly throughout the film.

Chad Danforth

Chad Danforth (portrayed by Corbin Bleu) is a member of the East High Wildcats team and Troy's best friend. He seems to be extremely devoted to basketball. Initially, he is a little snobby, selfish, and unsupportive of Troy's auditioning for the musical. He thinks that a musical is not meant for basketball players. However, he realizes later that singing is something that Troy really enjoys and so Chad lends his support to his best friend's audition endeavor. After teaming up with Taylor McKessie to pull Troy and Gabriella apart, and then to put them back together, he asks her out. In High School Musical 2, he develops a friendship with Ryan Evans.

Taylor McKessie

Taylor McKessie (portrayed by Monique Coleman) is the leader of East High's science club, which competes in the Scholastic decathlon. She befriends Gabriella when she arrives to the school and convinces her to join the Scholastic Club. Initially, she tries to stop Gabriella from singing, but eventually, she ends up supporting her. She has a strong dislike for athletes including Troy Bolton, stating that they "contribute nothing to society other than slam dunks and touchdowns." However, her opinion of athletes changes over time. Chad Danforth asks her out by the end of the film and she accepts to go out with him.

Recurring characters

Ms. Darbus

Ms. Darbus (portrayed by Alyson Reed) is the drama teacher at East High. She is an advocate of theater and has a strong dislike for cell phones and activities like sports. She often gets into arguments with her nemesis, Coach Bolton. She has very little or practically no knowledge of basketball.

Jack Bolton

Coach Jack Bolton (portrayed by Bart Johnson) is the Wildcats' coach and Troy's father. He is a former champion Wildcats player, and expects his son to follow his example. He has had numerous intense arguments with Ms. Darbus and is upset over his son's decision to pursue theater, but then he eventually comes around. Similarly, he disapproves of Troy's relationship with Gabriella because he feels it may interfere with his basketball tournament.

Kelsi Nielsen

Kelsi Nielsen (portrayed by Olesya Rulin) is a pianist and the composer of the Twinkle Towne musical. She is very eager to assist Troy and Gabriella as they prepare for callbacks. Initially, Kelsi is shown lacking confidence; however, by the end of the movie, she stands up to Sharpay. Troy calls her the playmaker to build her confidence. She has a crush on Jason.

Zeke Baylor

Zeke Baylor (portrayed by Chris Warren, Jr.) is a member of the Wildcats team, who secretly enjoys baking and has a crush on Sharpay.

Jason Cross

Jason Cross (portrayed by Ryne Sanborn) is a member of the Wildcats team, who hangs out with Chad and Zeke and develops a crush on Kelsi.

Mrs. Montez

Synopsis

Strangers Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez attend a New Year's Eve party at a ski lodge over Christmas Break. Here, they take part in a karaoke contest and sing "Start of Something New". They discover they have a great chemistry between them and end up exchanging numbers. A week later, Gabriella's mother is transferred and Gabriella begins classes at East High in Albuquerque, New Mexico where Troy sees her in homeroom. After making sure that it is her on his cell phone, Troy accidentally gets detention, along with Gabriella, his best friend and teammate Chad Danforth, scholastic decathlon captain, and soon-to-be best friend of Gabriella, Taylor McKessie, and Drama Club co-presidents Ryan and Sharpay Evans.

After homeroom, Troy and Gabriella see each other again and as they start talking near the sign-up sheet for the winter musical auditions, Sharpay sees them and assumes that Gabriella is interested in signing up. With Ryan's help, Sharpay determines that Gabriella is an "Einsteinette", and puts an article of her previous academic achievements into Taylor's locker. During detention, Taylor approaches Gabriella and invites her to join the school's scholastic decathlon team. Due to their detention, both Troy and Chad miss their basketball practice, much to the annoyance of Coach Bolton. During a confrontation between the coach and Ms. Darbus, it is made clear that neither of them has any real respect for the work that the other does. Troy eventually takes part in basketball practice, but he cannot seem to stop thinking about Gabriella ("Get'cha Head in the Game").

Troy skips basketball practice during free period to go for the auditions, which Gabriella also attends. However, both are too shy to come forward, so they hide behind a janitorial rolling cart as Sharpay and Ryan perform their version of "What I've Been Looking For". When Gabriella finally decides to audition, Troy offers to sing with her, but Ms. Darbus says it is too late.

After a confrontation with Sharpay, Kelsi Nielsen, the composer of the musical, trips and drops her notes and piano music. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her, and she offers to let them hear how the song was originally supposed to sound. Troy and Gabriella then sing the slower version of the song, "What I've Been Looking For". Ms. Darbus hears them from behind the auditorium entrance and gives both Troy and Gabriella a callback. The next day, Sharpay sees the callback sheet and is furious. Once Chad and all the basketball players find out that Troy skipped basketball practice to audition for the musical, they are all shocked.

At lunch, everyone learns that Troy is doing something way out of a basketball players' nature, and the students start confessing their secret passions and talents ("Stick to the Status Quo"), including basketball player Zeke Baylor's love for baking. At that moment, Gabriella slips and accidentally spills her lunch all over Sharpay's shirt. Sharpay tells Ms. Darbus that Gabriella did it on purpose and tries to convince her that Troy and Gabriella are trying to destroy the musical.

Troy asks Gabriella to meet him at his secret hideout, the balcony of a greenhouse. There, she reveals that singing with him at the party was like meeting a new friend at kindergarten; she felt that he was like a best friend, although she hardly knew him. Meanwhile, Zeke attempts to talk to Sharpay, who says that she would rather stick pins in her eyes than watch Zeke play basketball.

Chad and Taylor decide that they need to devise a plan so that everything returns to normal. The basketball team tricks Troy into saying that Gabriella is not too important while she watches them through a wi-fi link. Gabriella is hurt and confused about where she and Troy now stand ("When There Was Me and You"). Troy tries to talk to Gabriella, but she tells him that she is not interested in taking part in the musical anymore and that it was never important to her.

After feeling guilty about ruining Troy and Gabriella's friendship, and noticing that they are no longer interested in the basketball game or the decathlon, Chad and Taylor decide to tell them the truth. Chad, Zeke, and Jason explain everything to Troy in the greenhouse and offer to support him at the callbacks. Taylor and the scholastic decathlon team tell Gabriella what they did, but she is still angry and hurt because of what Troy said, convinced that he meant it. That night, Troy goes to her house, but she pretends to be busy with homework. He then calls on her cellphone from her backyard, telling her that the guy she met on vacation is much more like him than the guy that "said those stupid things". He climbs onto her balcony and starts singing the harmony of "Start of Something New" in an attempt to persuade her to attend the callbacks with him. Gabriella then forgives him, and together with Kelsi, they start practicing for the callback at school.

Soon, Sharpay and Ryan overhear Gabriella and Troy practicing, and feel intimidated by the competition. Together, they convince Ms. Darbus to change the callbacks to the same time as the basketball championship and scholastic decathlon. Kelsi overhears their conversation with Mrs. Darbus, and when she tells everyone about this, they are devastated. However, the scholastic decathlon, the basketball teams and Kelsi work together to come up with a plan.

On the D-day itself, Taylor and Gabriella send a code by computer into the system to disrupt the basketball game by shutting down the scoreboard, and boiling a hazardous chemical to stall the decathlon.

As Troy and Gabriella then rush to the theater, Sharpay and Ryan finish performing their song, "Bop to the Top", confident that they will get the part. Troy and Gabriella show up after Ms. Darbus has called their names twice, and she tells them again that they are too late. Many other students start streaming into the auditorium to support them and Ms. Darbus has no choice but to allow them to perform "Breaking Free." After they sing "Breaking Free", Troy tries to kiss Gabriela but due to Chad's interruption, Troy ends up kissing Gabriella on the cheek. In the end, Ms. Darbus decides to award the lead roles to Troy and Gabriella. After winning both the scholastic decathlon and the basketball game, the entire school gathers in the gym to celebrate ("We're All in This Together").

After the celebrations, Sharpay finds Zeke alone in the gym and tells him that the cookies he made are the best things she has ever tasted. Zeke answers (quite suggestively) that he might even make her crème brûlée.

Other media

Concert tour

The High School Musical: The Concert tour began on November 29, 2006 kicking off in San Diego, California. The tour continued until January 28, 2007 playing in major cities around the United States, Canada and Latin America. The concert featured all of the original cast members except for Zac Efron (who was busy shooting Hairspray), who was replaced by Drew Seeley. The concert featured the original songs from the movie, as well as showcase songs from Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu who all now have solo material.

Stage musical

High School Musical at Rhyl Pavillion Theatre.

On August 1 2006, Playbill announced that the Stagedoor Manor summer theater camp, featured in the movie Camp, would be the first venue to produce High School Musical on-stage.

North Shore Music Theater in Beverly, MA had a stage production of High School Musical running until the end of July 2007, featuring Broadway actor Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Kate Rockwell, a semi-finalist on Grease: You're the One that I Want!, as Sharpay.

Differences between the movie and stage show

  • The stage musical includes two new songs, "Counting On You" and "Cellular Fusion". There is a song during the audition scene entitled "Auditions" which combines the two songs, "Bop to the Top" and "What I've Been Looking For" in a large ensemble number with many solos. There are two "Wildcat Cheers" as well. A megamix was also added at the finale, which combined all of the songs.
  • Jack Scott, the school announcer, joins the cast of characters and acts as the narrator of the play.
  • Former extra song, "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" has been added to the main repertoire, with slightly altered lyrics and without featuring Sharpay and Ryan.
  • Jason Cross' part is significantly smaller in the play than in the movie. He has only one line, and does not end up with Kelsi unlike Jack Scott, who does.
  • Martha Cox, the brainiac who loves hip-hop, and Zeke Baylor, the basketball player who loves to bake, have slightly larger roles and multiple solos. Kelsi Nielsen's role is also slightly larger, and she has solos.
  • Many of the songs have different tunes and different parts added to them. Many previous solos or duets are now large ensemble numbers.
  • "Start of Something New" now includes the entire cast, as the scene shifts away from the New Year's flashback and everyone sings about New Year's resolutions.
  • "Stick to the Status Quo" now includes Gabriella, Troy, Jack Scott, Kelsi, and the "rebels" singing their own backup part, saying, "Don't stick to the status quo".
  • "When There Was Me and You" is now a duet between Troy and Gabriella, with the ensemble singing as backup vocals.
  • "We're All in This Together" now has a reprise, and the original features Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, Jack, Martha and Zeke.
  • "Bop to the Top" is no longer a duet, but a large ensemble number featuring the brainiacs, jocks, and Ryan and Sharpay. "Breaking Free" also becomes an ensemble number.
  • The balcony scene, as well as Troy’s exchange with Mrs. Montez, was cut out of the plot, and the "Start of Something New" reprise now takes place at school.
  • Troy and Gabriella share a kiss at the end of the play, while in the movie, they do not. However, in the sequel to the movie, they do kiss.
  • Mrs. Darbus and Mr. Bolton have considerably more lines. In some plays, however, Mr. Bolton also sings a few lines.
  • Ryan and Sharpay are given a bit more depth in their characters.
  • Supporting characters Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth are more prominent in songs, while in the movie neither character has any solos.
  • The name of the spring musical in the movie, Twinkle Towne, changes to Juliet and Romeo in the stage adaptation. Ironically, both the movie and stage play are a modern re-telling of Romeo & Juliet.

Professional stage tour

The professional stage version is planned to tour sixty sites, starting summer of 2007, at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit followed by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia. These were preview engagements. The official start date of the tour is August 1 2007, starting from Chicago's LaSalle Bank Theatre. Unlike the concert tour, this production will not feature any cast members from the movie.

  • Also, in an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody titled "Lip Sychin' in the Rain", Bauckner Middle School sets up a stage-production of High School Musical. Maddie (Tisdale) auditions for the role of Sharpay but loses the role to London. Cody auditions for Troy and aces the role. Zack, however, is a stagehand. Mark Indelicato from Ugly Betty guest stars as Antonio. The episode includes the songs "Get'cha Head in the Game", "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top" (The first two songs were never seen nor heard; However, they were featured in a short cameo).
  • One episode of The Emperor's New School is titled "New School Musical" and during a part, Kuzco says that it was not going to be a musical where people break out into song and dance. The episode name is probably a spoof of the movie's name.
  • The movie was spoofed on a sketch on MADtv, where the characters discuss their personal likings and problems, similar to "Stick with the Status Quo", except that the jokes were more explicit. One such example was Ryan running in and announcing that he was gay, with everyone else responding, "We know!"

Documentary

In June 2007, Oscar winning director Barbara Kopple spent six weeks in Fort Worth filming the development of a high school production of High School Musical for the Disney Channel. The result, called "High School Musical: The Music in Me" will be aired in twelve segments, each of two minute duration and a twenty-two minute documentary. The project highlights the achievements of drama teachers Julia Worthington and Ann Hunter and a talented group of drama students and first-time actors.
