Trivia

Gabriella sings the only solo in this movie.

The soundtrack was recorded in five days.

"High School Musical" was just the working title for the film while a better name was thought up. However, by the time post-production came, a better name had not been thought of so the producers unwillingly went for "High School Musical"

Goofs

After the auditions, Kelsi trips over the piano and the music sheets go everywhere. It's obvious that she throws the sheets upwards (to fake a fall), rather than outwards (if she had really fallen).

Share this

In Ms. Darbus's class, when Troy calls Gabriella's cell phone, Gabriella's phone rings before he presses the send button.

Share this

When Sharpay storms into the girls' bathroom to track down Gabriella, she walks past where Gabriella is hiding behind the wall. The camera also shows that there is no adjacent room behind that wall. When Sharpay turns to walk back out, there is no way that Gabriella could not have been seen by Sharpay as she would be in her line of vision.

Quotes

Kelsi: Oh, actually, if you do the part with that particular song, I imagined it much slow...

Troy Bolton: Hey! How how you doing?

Chad: [Gabriella has spilled her lunch on Sharpay. Troy tries to run over and help Gabriella, but Chad holds him back] No. You do *not* want to get into that, man. Too much drama.

Faq

Q

Is this film based on a novel?

A

No, it is an original script by Peter Barsocchini.

Q

Is Ryan gay?

A

Given his love of dance, choreography, fashion, yoga and musical theater, and his lack of a female romantic partner, many viewers have speculated about Ryan's sexuality. In the stage show of High School Musical, he has pinups of men in his locker and swoons a little when Troy walks by. In the third film, he can briefly be seen apparently ogling a male dancer.http://www.afterelton.com/movies/2008/10/ryanevansstillcodedgayIt has been stated that Lucas Grabeel wanted very much to have Ryan written as gay, however, because of the target audience being so young, parents were appalled at the idea, and so Disney respected their wishes and made him straight. This is believed to be the reason for his sudden, out-of-the-blue attraction to Kelsi in the third movie.
