HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 1 PLOT Troy and Gabriella meet at a New Year's Eve party while both are at a ski lodge during winter break. Troy is the captain of East High School's basketball team, and Gabriella is portrayed as shy and academic. At the party, the two are called upon to sing karaoke together (Start of Something New). They seem to be attracted to each other, and exchange numbers before parting. After break, Troy sees Gabriella in his homeroom, and she explains that she just moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and transferred to East High over break. Troy shows Gabriella around the school, and they pause in front of the sign-up sheet for the winter musical auditions. This alarms Drama Club president Sharpay Evans, who assumes that Gabriella is interested in auditioning. Wanting to eliminate competition, Sharpay investigates the new girl and arranges for the scholastic decathlon captain, Taylor, to find out about Gabriella's past academic achievements. During basketball practice, Troy has trouble focusing because his thoughts are on Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing more (Get'cha Head In the Game). Gabriella and Troy both go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her brother Ryan perform (What I've Been Looking For) but both are too shy to audition. When Gabriella finally summons the courage to step forward, Troy offers to sing with her, but Ms. Darbus tells them that they are too late. After Ms. Darbus apparently leaves, Kelsi, the composer of the musical, trips and drops her things. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her, and they sing together as Kelsi plays piano (What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)). Ms. Darbus overhears them and gives them a callback audition . When the callback list is posted, Sharpay is furious to learn that she has competition for the lead in the musical, and the rest of the Wildcats are shocked that Troy and Gabriella have auditioned for a musical. Other students confess their own secret passions and talents (Stick To The Status Quo), alarming both Taylor and Troy's friend Chad. Since Gabriella has agreed to join the scholastic decathlon team, both Taylor and Chad want their teammates to focus on their upcoming competitions rather than the musical. To help Troy and Gabriella return to normal, Chad and the basketball team trick Troy into saying that Gabriella is not important while she watches through a wi-fi link that the scholastic decathlon team has set up. Gabriella is hurt (When There Was Me And You), she refuses to talk to Troy and decides not to audition for the musical. Chad and Taylor feel guilty for ruining Troy and Gabriella's relationship, and decide to tell them the truth. After Chad and the basketball team tell Troy what they did and offer to support him in callbacks, Troy goes to Gabriella's house and they make up.

PLOTTroy and Gabriella meet at a New Year's Eve party while both are at a ski lodge during winter break. Troy is the captain of East High School's basketball team, and Gabriella is portrayed as shy and academic. At the party, the two are called upon to sing karaoke together (Start of Something New).

Troy shows Gabriella around the school, and they pause in front of the sign-up sheet for the winter musical auditions. This alarms Drama Club president Sharpay Evans, who assumes that Gabriella is interested in auditioning. Wanting to eliminate competition, Sharpay investigates the new girl and arranges for the scholastic decathlon captain, Taylor, to find out about Gabriella's past academic achievements.During basketball practice, Troy has trouble focusing because his thoughts are on Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing more (Get'cha Head In the Game). Gabriella and Troy both go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her brother Ryan perform (What I've Been Looking For) but both are too shy to audition. When Gabriella finally summons the courage to step forward, Troy offers to sing with her, but Ms. Darbus tells them that they are too late. After Ms. Darbus apparently leaves, Kelsi, the composer of the musical, trips and drops her things.

Chad and Taylor feel guilty for ruining Troy and Gabriella's relationship, and decide to tell them the truth. After Chad and the basketball team tell Troy what they did and offer to support him in callbacks, Troy goes to Gabriella's house and they make up.Intimidated after overhearing Gabriella and Troy practicing, Sharpay convinces Ms. Darbus to change the callback time to coincide with both the basketball championship and the scholastic decathlon, so that Gabriella and Troy cannot participate. Kelsi overhears the conversation and the basketball team and the decathlon team work together to come up with a plan. On the day of the competitions, Taylor and Gabriella use the schools computers to cause a series of mishaps that delay the big game and the decathlon. With both competitions delayed, Troy and Gabriella rush to the auditorium, and Sharpay and Ryan finish performing their song (Bop To The Top), confident that their plan worked. Troy and Gabriella then audition (Breaking Free) and Ms. Darbus gives Troy and Gabriella the lead roles, making Sharpay and Ryan understudies. Troy and Gabriella both win their respective competitions, and the film ends when the entire school gathers in the gym to celebrate (We're All In This Together).

STAGE MUSICAL

Main article: High School Musical on Stage!

On August 1, 2006, Playbill announced that the Stagedoor Manor summer theater camp, featured in the film 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. Pacific Repertory Theatre's School of Dramatic Arts staged the California premiere in 2007 (which it revived in 2008), and presented the West Coast premiere of High School Musical 2 in January 2009.[26]

Theater of the Stars in Atlanta, Georgia was the first professional company to put on High School Musical.

It just doesn't seem right,

- What's up?- What's up? Oh, let's see...

You missed free-period workoutto audition for a heinous musical,

What's that?

Oh, a creamy custardwith a caramelized surface,

- It's really satisfying,- Shut up, Zeke!

Look... do you seewhat's happening here, man?

Our team is coming apartbecause of your singing thing,

Even the drama geeks andthe brainiacs suddenly think that they can...

... talk to us,

- Look, the skater dudes are mingling,- Yo!

Suddenly people think that they

Page 28: High School Musical Script Final

can do other stuff,

Stuff that's not their stuff,

You're thinking about show tunes,when we've got a playoff game next week,

Whoa!

Whoa!

- Ooh!- (boy) Head's up!

- All right, Cards on the table right now,- Huh?

You're tweaked because I put your starsin detention and now you're getting even,

What are you talking about, Darbus?

Your all-star sonturned up at my audition,

Now, I give every student an even chance,

which is a long and honorabletradition in the theater,

Something that you wouldn't understand,

But, if he is planning some sort of practicaljoke in my chapel of the arts...

- Troy doesn't even sing,- Oh, well, you're wrong about that,

But I will not allow my Twinkle Townmusicale to be made into farce,

- Twinkle Town?- See? I knew it!

- Hey...- I knew it!

Sounds like a winner,Good luck on Broadway!

Is Sharpay really, really mad at me?I said I was sorry,

Look, no one has beaten out Sharpay fora musical since kindergarten,

I wasn't trying to beat anyone out,

We didn't even audition,we were just singing,

You won't convince Sharpay of that,

If that girl could play both Romeo andJuliet, her own brother would be aced out,

I told you it just happened, but I liked it,

A lot,

Did you ever feel like there's

Page 30: High School Musical Script Final

a whole other person inside you

just looking for a way to come out?

Not really, No,

(bell ringing)

Let's go,

Hey, Sharpay, I thought since Troy Bolton'sgonna be in your show...

Troy Bolton is not in my show,

OK, um... well, I thought maybeyou could watch me play ball sometime,

- I'd rather stick pins in my eyes,- Wouldn't that be awfully uncomfortable?

Evaporate, tall person!

I bake!

If that helps,

- Wow! It's like a jungle up here,- Yeah, just like that cafeteria,

Well, I just humiliated myself intothe next century,

- No! Come on,- So this is your private hideout?

Page 31: High School Musical Script Final

Yeah, Thanks to the science club, Whichmeans my buddies don't know it exists,

You pretty much have the school wired,don't you, Troy?

Seems to me like everyone on campuswants to be your friend,

Unless we lose,

Well, I'm sure it's trickybeing the coach's son,

Makes me practice a little harder,I guess,

I don't know what he'll sayabout the singing,

- You worried?- My parents friends are always saying,

"Your son's the basketball guy,You must be so proud,"

Sometimes I don't wanna bethe "basketball guy."

I just wanna be a guy, You know?

I saw the way you treated Kelsi atthe audition yesterday,

Do your friends know that guy?

Page 32: High School Musical Script Final

To them, I'm the playmaker dude,

They don't know enoughabout you, Troy,

At my other schools I wasthe freaky math girl,

It's cool coming here and being...anyone I wanna be,

When I was singing with youI just felt like... a girl,

You even look like one, too,

Remember in kindergarten how you'd meeta kid and know nothing about them,

then ten seconds later you playlike you're best friends

because you didn't have tobe anything but yourself,

- Yeah,- Singing with you felt like that,

Well, uh... I never thought about singing,That's for sure,

Till you,

So you really wanna do the callbacks?

Page 33: High School Musical Script Final

Hey, just call me freaky callback boy,

You're a cool guy, Troy,

But not for the reasons your friends think,

And thanks for showing meyour top-secret hiding place,

Like kindergarten,

(bell ringing)

(both sigh)

& We're soarin', we're flyin'...

(Troy singing)

& Breaking...

& Creating space between us...

& There's not a star in heaven that we...

& Flyin'

& There's not a star in heaven that we...

(whistle blows)

Let's go, guys! Make it sharp!To the chest, come on! Pop it!

Page 34: High School Musical Script Final

Come on, guys, Step with it!Let's go!

Come on, move it! Let's go!

Come on, guys, focus! Focus!Get your head in the game!

Move it!

- You seen Troy?- No... Coach,

(blows whistle) Again, let's go!

(whistle blows)

That's it, guys, Let's hit the showers,Good hustle, Let's see that in the game,

I, uh,, think I'm gonna stay a while,Work on some free throws,

Since you missed practice, I think yourteam deserves a little effort from you today,

Wow, So this is your real stage,

Yeah, I guess you could call it that,

Or just a smelly gym,

Whoa!

Page 35: High School Musical Script Final

Don't tell me you're good at hoops, too,

You know, I once scored 41 pointsat a league championship game,

- No way,- Mm-hm, And the same day,

I invented the space shuttleand microwave popcorn,

Oh! Microwave popcorn, Ha-ha, Funny,

- I've been rehearsing with Kelsi,- Me, too, And, by the way,

I missed practice, So if I get kicked offthe team it'll be on your conscience,

- Hey, I wasn't the one who told you...- Gabriella, chill,

Hey, that's traveling,No, that's really bad traveling,

(laughing)

Miss! I'm sorry, this is a closed practice,

- Dad, practice is over,- Not till the last player leaves,

- Team rule,- Oh, I'm sorry, sir,

Page 36: High School Musical Script Final

- Dad, this is Gabriella Montez,- Ah, your detention buddy,

I'll see you later, Troy,

Nice meeting you, Coach Bolton,

You as well, Miss Montez,

Dad, detention was my fault,not hers,

You haven't missed practice in three years,That girl shows up...

That girl is named Gabriella,She's very nice,

Helping you miss practice doesn'tmake her very nice, Not in my book,

- Or your team's,- Dad, she's not a problem,

- She's just a girl,- But you're not just a guy, Troy,

You're the team leader,

What you do effects not only this team,but the entire school,

And without you completely focused,we're not gonna win next week,

The championship games -

Page 37: High School Musical Script Final

they don't come along all the time,

- They're something special,- Yeah, a lot of things are special, Dad,

But you're a playmaker...not a singer, right?

Did you ever think maybe I could be both?

- What?- Let's go,

What spell has this elevated-IQtemptress girl cast

that suddenly makes you wanna bein musical?

Look, I just did it, Who cares?

Who cares? How about your mostloyal best friend?

- Quiet in here, Mr, Danforth,- It's him, Miss Falsaff, not me,

Look, you're a hoops dude,not a musical singer person,

Have you seen Michael Crawfordon a cereal box?

- Who's Michael Crawford?- Exactly my point,

Page 38: High School Musical Script Final

He was the Phantom of the Operaon Broadway,

Now my mom, she's seenthat musical 27 times,

and put Michael Crawford's picturein our refrigerator,

Yeah, not on it, in it,

So my point is, if you play basketball,you're gonna end up on the cereal box,

If you're in musicals, you'llend up in my mom's refrigerator,

Why in her refrigerator?

One of her crazy diet ideas, I won'tattempt to understand the female mind,

It's foreign territory,

How can you expect the rest of us to befocused on a game if you're off somewhere

in leotards singing "Twinkle Town"?

No one said anything about leotards,

Not yet, my friend, but just you wait,

Look, we need you, Captain,Big time,

Page 39: High School Musical Script Final

- Mr, Danforth,- I tried to tell him, Miss Falsaff,

Really tried,

Something isn't right,

- Hey, look, We need to talk,- Go,

They must be trying to figure out a way tomake sure Troy and Gabriella beat us out,

The jocks rule most of the school,but if they get Troy into a musical,

then they've conqueredthe entire student body,

And if those science girls get Gabriellahooked up with Troy Bolton,

the scholastic club goes from drool to cool,

Ryan, we need to save our show frompeople who don't know the difference

between a Tony Award and Tony Hawk,

Do you think that'll work?

It's the only way to save Troy and Gabriellafrom themselves,

- So we on?

Page 40: High School Musical Script Final

- Yeah,

- Good, So we start tomorrow then,- OK, the first thing,

- Nice, Let's go,- Cool,

(bell ringing)

So, my watch is 7:45 Mountain Standardtime, We synched?

- Whatever,- Then we're on go mode for lunch, 12:05,

Yes, Chad, we're a go,But we're not Charlie's Angels, OK?

I can dream, can't I?

(bell ringing)

"Spider" Bill Netrine,class of '72,

He was the MVP in the leaguechampionship game,

Sam Nedler, class of '02,Also known as "Sammy Slamma Jamma."

Captain, MVP of the leaguechampionship team,

The "Thunder Clap," Hap Hadden, '95,

Page 41: High School Musical Script Final

Led the Wildcats toback-to-back city championships,

- A legend,- Yes, Legends, one and all,

But do you think that any of these Wildcatlegends became legends

by getting involved in musical auditionsdays before the league championships?

- Get your head in the game!- No,

These Wildcat legends became legends

because they never tooktheir eye off the prize,

Get your head in the game!

Who was the first sophomore everto make starting varsity?

- Troy!- Who voted him team captain this year?

- Us!- And who is gonna get their butts kicked

in Friday's championship game if Troy'sworried about an audition?

- We are,

Page 42: High School Musical Script Final

- Guys, come on,

There's 12 people on this team,not just me,

Just 12? Oh, no,

I think you're forgetting about one veryimportant 13th member of our squad,

- My dad,- Yes, Troy,

Wildcat basketball champion,class of 1981,

Champion, father, and now coach,

It's a winning tradition like no other,

From lowly Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon,to early warriors, medieval knights,

All leading up to...

... lunkhead basketball man,

Yes, our culture worshiped the aggressorthroughout the ages

and we end up with spoiled, overpaidbonehead athletes

who contribute little to civilization otherthan slam dunks and touchdowns,

Page 43: High School Musical Script Final

That is the inevitable worldof Troy Bolton,

But the path of the mind,the path we're on,

ours is the path thathas brought us these people:

Eleanor Roosevelt, Frida Kahlo,Sandra Day O'Connor,

Madame Curie, Jane Goodall,Oprah Winfrey

and so many otherswho the world reveres,

Uh, but, what is...?I've got Kelsi waiting for me to rehearse,

Gabriella!

Troy Bolton represents one sideof evolution,

And our side, the side of educationand accomplishment

is the future of civilization!

This is the side where you belong,

Guys, if you don't know that I'll puta 110% of my guts into that game,

Page 44: High School Musical Script Final

then you don't know me,

- But we just thought...- I'll tell you what I thought,

I thought that you're my friends,Win together, lose together, teammates,

- But suddenly the girl... and the singing,- Man, I'm for the team!

I've always been for the team,She's just someone I met,

All right the singing thing is nothing.A way to keep my nerves down.

It means nothing to me.You're my guys and this is our team.

Gabriella is not important.

I'll forget about her, forget the auditionand we'll get that championship.

Everyone happy now?

Behold lunkhead basketball man,

So, Gabriella, we'd love to have youfor the scholastic decathlon,

Did you wanna grab some lunch?

Well, we'll be there if you wanna come,

Page 45: High School Musical Script Final

- Wildcats!- Get your head in the game!

Whoo!

- Let's go!- (girl) Go, Wildcats!

& Everybody sing out

& Wildcats everywherewave your hands up in the air

& That's the way we do itlet's get to it, time to show the world

& Wildcats, sing along,they really got it going on

& Wildcats in the houseeverybody sing out

& Wildcats everywhere,wave your hands up in the air...

(team) Troy, Troy, Troy...

& It's funny when you find yourself

& Looking from the outside

& I'm standing here but all I wantis to be over there

Page 46: High School Musical Script Final

& Why did I let myself believe

& Miracles could happen?

& 'Cause now I have to pretendthat I don't really care

& I thought you were my fairy tale

& A dream when I'm not sleeping

& A wish upon a star that's coming true

& But everybody else could tell

& That I confused my feelings with the truth

& When there was me and you

& I swore I knew the melodythat I heard you singing

& And when you smiled you made me feellike I could sing along

& But then you wentand changed the words

& Now my heart is empty

& I'm only left with used-to-besand once upon a song

& Now I know your not a fairy tale

Page 47: High School Musical Script Final

& And dreams were meant for sleeping

& And wishes on a starjust don't come true

& 'Cause now even I can tell

& That I confused my feelings with the truth

& 'Cause I liked the view

& When there was me and you

& I can't believethat I could be so blind

& It's like you were floatingwhile I was falling

& And I didn't mind

& Because I liked the view, oohooh, ooh, ooh

& I thought you felt it too

& When there was me and you

(students chattering)

Hey, how you doin'?

I wanna talk to you about something,

Page 48: High School Musical Script Final

And here it is: I know what it's liketo carry a load with your friends,

I get it, You've got your boys, Troy,It's OK, So we're good,

Good about what?I wanna talk about the final callbacks,

I don't wanna do the callbacks either,

Who are we trying to kid?You've got your team and I've got mine,

I'll do the scholastic decathlonand you'll win the championships,

It's where we belong,

- Go, Wildcats,- But I...

Me neither,

(horn blows)

Gabriella?

(horn)

Go Wildcats!

Hey, Captain!

Page 49: High School Musical Script Final

- What's with Troy?- Don't worry about it,

(grunting)

(frustrated grunt)

Oh, hey!

- Troy! Hey,- Hey, Troy!

Hey, um...

We just had another team meeting,

Oh... wonderful,

We had a team meeting about howwe haven't been acting like a team,

I mean us, not you,

- About the singing thing...- I don't even wanna talk about it,

We just want you to knowthat we're gonna be there,

- Cheering for you,- Huh?

If singing is what you wanna do,

we should boost you up,

Page 50: High School Musical Script Final

not tear you down,

Yeah, Win or lose, we're teammates,

That's what we're about, Even if you turnout to be the worst singer in the world,

Which we don't know, because wehaven't heard you sing,

You're not gonna hear me sing, guys,

Because Gabriella won't even talk to me...

... and I don't know why,

We do,

I baked these fresh today,

You'll probably want to try onebefore we tell you the rest,

Gabriella, we were jerks,

No, we were worse than jerksbecause we were mean jerks,

We thought Troyand the whole singing thing was

killing our chances of having youon the scholastic decathlon team,

I heard what he had to say,

Page 51: High School Musical Script Final

I'm on your team now, Done,

No, not done,

We knew that Chad could getTroy to say things

to make you want toforget about the callbacks,

We planned it,and we're embarrassed and sorry,

No one forced Troy to say anything,And you know what? It's OK,

We should prepare for the decathlon,it's time to move on,

No, it's not OK,

The decathlon is whatever, but how youfeel about us, and even more, Troy -

- that's what really matters,

(whispers) We tried,

(dog barking)

Hi, uh... Just came to say I'm sorry,

- Hi, Miss Montez, I'm Troy Bolton,- Oh, Troy!

Page 52: High School Musical Script Final

(mouths) No,

Um... Gabriella is kind of busy withhomework, so now's not a good time,

I made a mistake, Miss Montez, and Iwould really like to let Gabriella know that,

- Could you tell her I came by to see her?- I will... Troy,

- Good night,- Good night, Thank you,

(phone beeping)

(phone ringing in receiver)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?- What you heard, none of that is true,

I was sick of my friends riding me,so I said things to shut them up,

I didn't mean any of it,

You sounded pretty convincing to me.

The guy you met on vacation is more methan the guy who said those stupid things,

The whole singing thingis making the school whack,

Page 53: High School Musical Script Final

You said so yourself, Everyone'streating you differently because of it,

Maybe because I don't wannaonly be the basketball guy.

They can't handle it.That's not my problem, it's theirs.

- How about your dad?- And it's not about my dad.

This is about how I feel,and I'm not letting the team down.

They let me down.

So I'm gonna sing. What about you?

- I don't know, Troy,- Well, you need to say yes.

Because I brought you something.

What do you mean?

Turn around.

& This could be the start of something new

& It feels so right to be here with you

& Oh

Page 54: High School Musical Script Final

& And now lookin' in your eyes

& I feel in my heart

& The start of something...

... new

It's a pairs audition,

(whistle blows, players yelling)

Whoo,

Yeah!

Zn4, and by doing that,you end up with two...

... and two, Got it?

Yes!

What's happening?

Come here, Go aheadand put five grams of this in,

and that causes it to changefrom an acidic state,

Causing the color to change frompink to blue,

Page 55: High School Musical Script Final

Just like those pH strips,

Oh, gotta go, See you guys later!

Whoa!

You're late!

(both) &... strength to believe

& We're soarin'

& Flyin'

& There's not a star in heaventhat we can't reach

& Bop bop bop...

(Troy) & If we're tryin'

(both) & Yeah, we're breakin' free

(gasps)

Wow, They sound good,

(scoffs)

& Like a wave the ocean just...

We have to do something,

Page 56: High School Musical Script Final

OK, our callbacks on Thursday

and the basketball gameand scholastic decathlon are on Friday,

Too bad all these events weren'thappening on the same day...

... at the same time,

That wouldn't work out because then Troyand Gabriella wouldn't be able to make...

I'm proud to call you my sister,

I know,

(Darbus) I don't want to hear any moreabout Troy and that Montez girl,

So, if you're telling me as co-presidents ofthe drama club that changing the callbacks

would be what's best for our theaterprogram, I might actually agree with you,

Is that a yes?

& Bop bop bop, up to the top

& And wipe away your inhibitions

& Stomp, stomp, stompdo the romp and strut your stuff

Page 57: High School Musical Script Final

& Bop bop bop, straight to the top...

(Chad) No problem at all,It was crazy, man,

Callbacks the same time as the game?

- And the scholastic decathlon,- Why would they do that?

- I smell a rat named Darbus,- I think two rats, neither named Darbus,

Do you know something about this,small person?

Miss Darbus thinksshe's protecting the show,

but Ryan and Sharpay areonly concerned with protecting themselves,

Do you know what I'll do tothose two show dogs?

Nothing, We're not gonna doanything to them,

Except to sing, maybe,

Now this is only gonna happen ifwe all work together,

- Now who's in?- You know I'm in,

Page 58: High School Musical Script Final

(classroom chatter)

- A pi pie,- (gasps)

- Oh, my goodness!- Oh, my gosh!

What? Thank you!

- Oh, we have something for you too,- Yeah, come here, look,

(both) Ta-da!

Oh... it's an equation,

Oh!

That's awful!

Stay right there, Watch,

From our team, to yours,

G - O - D - R - A - M - A- C- L - U - B

Exclamation point,

Well, seems we Wildcats are in foran interesting afternoon,

Go,

Page 59: High School Musical Script Final

G-O-D... dra,, Go dra... Go dray...

- Ugh!- Drame?

(bell ringing, students yelling)

(rhythmic clapping)

How you feeling?

- Nervous,- Yeah, me too,

- Wish I could suit up and play with you,- Hey, you had your turn,

You know what I want from you today?

- The championship,- Well, that'll come or it won't,

What I want is for you to have fun,

I know all about the pressure,Probably too much of it has come from me,

What I really want is to see my sonhaving the time of his life

playing the game we both love,

You give me that, and I will sleep with asmile on my face no matter what the score,
