CHARACTERS

Leads

Troy Bolton (Tenor)
The star of the basketball team and son of Coach Bolton. While extremely dedicated to his teammates, his growing interest in Gabriella and the prospect of singing in the school musical distracts him from what his father believes he should be focused on, keeping his head in the game.

Gabriella Montez (Alto)
The new girl at East High School. While she tries to keep her brilliant math skills undercover, she finds herself drawn to Troy and auditioning for the new musical.

Sharpay Evans (Mezzo Soprano)
The president of East High's Drama Club. She's used to getting all the lead roles and her way. She spends much of her time rehearsing or plotting ways to get Troy to like her. When faced with change in the social structure of her school, she is furious and does her best to get things back where they belong!

Ryan Evans (Tenor)
Sharpay's sidekick and fraternal twin, younger by eight minutes—a fact Sharpay won't let him forget! He has starred opposite Sharpay in seventeen productions, but always seems to be upstaged by his sister.

Chad Danforth (Tenor)
Troy's best friend and teammate. He is the head of the Jocks, loves basketball and has no interest in theatre or wearing leotards. He develops a crush on Taylor when they work together to help Gabriella and Troy.

Taylor McKessie (Alto)
Lives for science, thinks sports are for "morons," and is the president of East High's Science Club. As head of the Brainiacs, she hopes that befriending new student Gabriella will help her team win the prized Science Decathlon!
