| Show Info | It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes all find their cliques. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well. |

Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Gabriella Montez | M/F | 0+ | Gabriella Montez is the new student who’s struggling to find her place at East High. She’s a Renaissance woman who doesn’t fully identify with any of the cliques, and so she’s taking her time – and realizing her confidence – along the way. | Troy Bolton | M/F | 0+ | Troy Bolton, the most popular student at East High, is the star of the basketball team who yearns to be more than what others – especially his dad, Coach Bolton – want him to be. A natural athlete and leader with charm to spare, Troy discovers he loves to sing, but is afraid to admit it to his basketball buddies. | Sharpay Evans | M/F | 0+ | Sharpay Evans is the dramatic and self- centered star of the school musicals. Between her and Ryan, she’s the alpha twin – over-the-top, demanding, and always “on,” with a flair for the theatrical. | Ryan Evans | M/F | 0+ | Ryan Evans is Sharpay’s fraternal twin and, like her, he lives to sing, dance, and get loads of attention. Subordinate to his sister, Ryan generally follows Sharpay’s orders and lets her have the spotlight, but he longs to break free from her shadow and assert himself. | Kelsi Nielsen | M/F | 0+ | Kelsi Nielsen, the neo-feminist writer- composer of the winter musical, Juliet and Romeo, possesses a shy demeanor but no tolerance for the egocentric likes of Sharpay. | Chad Danforth | M/F | 0+ | Chad Danforth, one of Troy’s best friends, is a sports fanatic. Focused on winning the basketball championship, Chad slowly begins to understand that there might be more to life than ball – including his crush on Taylor. | Zeke Baylor | M/F | 0+ | Zeke Baylor, Troy’s other best buddy, is a basketball player with a sweet side. He has two secrets: a crush on Sharpay and a love for baking! | Taylor Mckessie | M/F | 0+ | Taylor McKessie, the very put-together president of the Science Club, is super-assertive and very intent on Gabriella joining the Science Decathlon team so they can (finally!) win the competition. | Ms. Darbus | M/F | 0+ | Ms. Darbus is East High’s eccentric drama teacher. Passionate and disciplined, she never stops trying to enrich the lives of her students through the wonders of live theater. | Coach Bolton | M/F | 0+ | Coach Bolton, the stern basketball coach and Troy’s sometimes overbearing dad, lost the big game years ago and wants a second chance through his basketball-star son. | Martha Cox | M/F | 0+ | Martha Cox, a proud member of the Science Club, possesses a private passion for break dancing. | Ensemble | M/F | 0+ | The BRAINIACS, headed by Taylor McKessie, are the smartest girls and boys in school, including Martha Cox and the change-adverse KRATNOFF. | Ensemble | M/F | 0+ | The JOCKS and CHEERLEADERS are the East High athletes, including Troy, Chad, and Zeke. | Ensemble | M/F | 0+ | The THESPIANS are the drama lovers, including Kelsi, Sharpay, and Ryan, as well as the following auditionees: CATHY, who belts like Ethel Merman, CYNDRA, the opera-lover, JAMES, who can’t sing on pitch and SUSAN, the wannabe pop star. | Ensemble | M/F | 0+ | The PARTY KIDS are students in Troy and Gabriella’s karaoke flashback. | Ensemble | M/F | 0+ | The REBELS, including Troy and Gabriella, don’t stick to the status quo, unlike the various school cliques. | JACK SCOTT | M/F | 0+ | the school announcer with a larger-than-life personality, longs to be a D.J. | DRUM MAJOR | M/F | 0+ | who cheers on the Wildcats. | MS. TENNY | M/F | 0+ | East High’s chemistry teacher. | MODERATOR | M/F | 0+ | for the Science Decathlon |
