Trivia

Disney Channel executives and producers originally wanted Cassie Steele to play Gabriella after seeing her in another Disney Channel original movie Full-Court Miracle. She auditioned several times and had a screen test, and was cast as Gabriella. However, the fifth season of her TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation seriously conflicted with the filming of this movie, so Steele had to drop out. See more »

Goofs

When Gabriella and Troy are running around the set (specifically the moon) as they are about to finish singing "Breaking Free", a glimpse of Ryan bobbing his head to the beat is seen. Ryan and Sharpay are supposed to be annoyed because Ms. Darbus allowed Gabriella and Troy to continue with their callback audition. See more »

Oh it was excellent!
21 January 2006 | by (United States (College Park, MD)) – See all my reviews

It was just sooooo great! So much fun, too!! It's like every high school musical theater junkie's dream. Everyone was just excellent and the directing was superb. And I love the message this movie sends to young minds, that you explore other facets of expression other than the one that's socially acceptable. And I love the little undertones and subtleties throughout the film. And I love how all the tough mean hard guys are CLEARLY dancers in real life. I was muy impressed!! Everything and everyone was perfect. From the clothes, casting, choreography, sets.... it all looks like a dream. And in beautiful clear New Mexico. Who could want anything more!
