GABRIELLA & KELSI
One two three four five six seven eight nine!
TROY
Hey what’s up, Dad?
At work weird things are happening to me like
Today I played golf with Sharpay
And also her whole family, you know
Her dad’s a big name at, U of A
They want to get to know me, and take me out to dinner
Because I ball, and I golf, and I also sing
They’re very nice people, but it’s still a little strange
I guess if I talk to them, they might give me a chance to play
TROY & DAD
With the team at U of A
It’d be nice to play at U of A
TROY
Just wanna hangout with the guys
Then I get an invitation
Another one from Sharpay…
GAB
Take a break
TROY
I am on my way
GAB
There’s something we all need to show you
And it cannot wait
TROY
I’ll be there in just a minute, hang on bae
GAB
Troy
TROY
Okay, okay
GAB
Spend some time with the team today
Kelsi’s got a new song to play
She’s been writing it all day
Kelsi, take it away
KELSI
Hey Troy, look
My name is Kelsi
I’m a composer
I wrote this song just
To show ya
And I
Think it’d be fine
If you and Gabriella
Would give it a try
TROY
What!
KELSI
I hear that there’s
A talent show that’s comin’ up

TROY
Uh-huh!

KELSI
And wouldn’t it be fun to show Sharpay up?

TROY
Okay!

KELSI
It’d also be cute if the whole team sang
We can show this club our game! 	 

TROY
Brava!

GAB
Take a break

TROY
Hey, that song is pretty great
GAB
We’ve been working so hard, let’s make time 
For a summer date
TROY
Gabriella, I might have to miss our date=
GAB
It’s just dinner with Sharpay’s father
There’s a pool I know…
TROY
I know
GAB
It’s actually where I work
TROY
I’d love to go
GAB
You and I can swim when the night gets dark…
TROY
I will try to get away
SHARPAY
My Troy-est Bolton
You must come now to dinner
Sit down with me and Daddy
We’ll have so much fun, you’ll see
But before we get int there
I feel I must remind you
Of how important this opportunity could be
And now that we’re here i’ll mention that you also sing
I know those college people like when you do everything
They want to hear you. Will you sing with me?
If not now, will you, please, another day?
You say
TROY & SHARPAY
“Sure, yeah, I’ll sing with you.”
Sharpay
And you can’t just break that promise. You said
TROY AND Sharpay
“Sure, yeah. … I’ll sing with you”
SHARPAY
Anyway, all this to say
I hear there’s a closed practice
With the team at U of A
My dad could get you in there
If you sing with me, but hey
I know you’re very busy
I know technically you’re working
But it could help with college, you could meet and play
TROY & SHARPAY
With the team at U of A
It’d be nice to get into U of A
GAB
Troy, get over here. It’s time for our rehearsal today! Kelsi!
KELSI
Gabriella!
WILDCATS
And the wildcats!
GAB
Troy
TROY:
Hey
KELSI
You’re a little late
GAB
Kelsi, please tell Troy, we’ve got to practice if we want to sing at this talent show
TROY
Kelsi, tell Gabby, I think if we don’t practice we’ll win anyway
GAB
…you’re not joining us? Wait
TROY
I’m afraid I cannot rehearse today
GAB
Troy, you promised you’d stay
KELSI
Please sing, just stay
GAB
Please just stay
GAB& KELS & WILDCATS
Take a break
TROY
You know I have to get into college
GAB& KELSI & WILDCATS
You have friends who want to support you
This is not the way
TROY
You don’t understand, these guys can get me into college
GAB& KELSI & WILDCATS
It’s just dinner with Sharpay’s father
GAB
There’s a place I know
CHAD
Getcha head in the game
GAB
On the golf course
CHAD
Are we a team or what?
GAB
You and I can go
CHAD
Gabriella’s right
SHARPAY
Take a break and get away
GAB
Run away with me for the summer
I know a place
Where we can stay
KELSI & CHAD
It’s just dinner with Sharpay’s father
KELSI
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to get to sing right now
GAB
There’s a pool I know
It’s actually where I work
CHAD
You can go
GAB
When the night gets dark
Take a break.
TROY
I have to get into college
I can’t stop until they get me into college

The Room Where It Happens

[TROY]
Gabriella!
Guess what just happened!
Fulton just told me I’m being promoted to kids golf instructor!
The Evans even got me shoes as a present!

[GAB]
Sharpay’s buying you clothes?

[TROY]
Chad’s gonna find out any minute

[GAB]
I’m sure he already knows

[TROY]
Let’s go out!
On the town!
With my new dope salary from golfing.

[GAB]
golfing

[CHAD]
What’s all this?

[TROY]
Chad?

[CHAD]
Since when are you a big shot golf man?

[TROY]
Since the Evans’ fam saw me putt putt again!

[CHAD]
We were both playing golf that day

[TROY]
I guess they liked my technique
What can I say?

[Chad]
What about me?

[TROY]
Chad, you know I think you’re great
You’re always the guy stepping up to the plate
But Fulton–

[CHAD]
Wait

[TROY]
—just saw my potential
The opportunities could be exponential

[CHAD]
Wow, I really thought you were my best bro

[TROY]
I thought you’d be happy for me though

[CHAD]
So you’d do this because you think you’re better than me?

[TROY]
I’m not better than you or anyone on the team
I’m just doing what is asked of me

[CHAD]
Hm…. I guess we’ll see

Troy Promoted (Schuyler Defeated)

[ZEKE]
The issue on the table: Troy was invited to practice with the Redhawks 
And we were supposed to scrimmage after work the same day. How will Chad react? 
Remember, Troy’s already on thin ice with the wildcats and gabriella
Should Troy take this shot or choose his team?
Chad Danforth, you have the floor, bro

[CHAD]
When we were losing a game, when we were desperate
We stuck together, give us some credit
We needed a plan of attack with you at the lead
And who had your back?

[Zeke, Jason]
The team!

[CHAD]
In return, we didn’t ask for praise
And now you turn around and accept a raise
And sit with the Evans while we serve you lunch and dinner
I don’t care how you want your roast pork braised!
Stay with your brothers as we sing in Star Dazzle
I know it’s strange coming from me, you might be baffled
But I’d rather do it as a team
You’re playing right into Sharpay’s latest scheme

What do you know of loyalty?
With your shoes, new money, and dressed in a polo tee
Giving little kids high fives
Right before telling them “Now watch this drive”

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh!!

[CHAD]
Hey, and if ya don’t know, now ya know, bro

[ZEKE]
Thank you, Chad. Troy… Your response

[TROY]
well-

[SHARPAY]
You must be out of your Goddamn mind if you thought
The Evans fam is gonna let Troy Bolton rot
As a waiter in the wings, while he wonders what he wants
Guess you forgot, he’s not throwing away his shot
We got him in with the Red Hawks at their afternoon practice
Why don’t you go ahead and ask him?
“Should we hold you back from all your dreams?”
He’s wasting his time on this pathetic team

[ZEKE]
Enough! Thank you Sharpay

[SHARPAY]
You’re welcome

[TROY]
The last thing I want is another fight

[CHAD]
But bro, you keep ditching Gabriella and me

[JASON]
Hey! Why don’t you invite the Hawks to play with our team?

[TROY]
I think It’s a closed practice…

[CHAD]
Closed practice, my ass!
So high and mighty! While you stab us in the back. You would leave the team behind for a glimmer of clout
Zeke

[ZEKE]
Yeah?

[CHAD]
Let’s see ourselves out

[TAYLOR]
Did you forget Gabriella?

[TROY]
What?

[TAYLOR]
Aren’t you her fella?
You invite her on dates, she gets in trouble
After you show up an hour late

[TROY]
Gabriella understands, she’ll be fine
She’d let me know if I cross a line
I’m just trying to take every opportunity I’ve got
Am I supposed to decline?

[TAYLOR]
I don’t know, Troy

[TROY]
I’m trying to stay employed

[TAYLOR]
By singing with Sharpay?

[TROY]
I don’t think I have a choice

[TAYLOR]
Yeah. Well, someone oughta remind you

[TROY]
What?

[TAYLOR]
You’re nothing without Sharpay behind you

[SHARPAY]
Troy!

[TAYLOR]
Miss Evans is calling

Kitchen Battle #2 (Cabinet Battle #2)

[GABRIELLA:]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

[TAYLOR:]
Ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reactions
Thanks to Sharpay, our team’s been fractured into factions
This summer’s becoming a mess, these rich folks have no compassion
We’re struggling to serve the guests, and Troy’s missing in action
I get no satisfaction witnessing Sharpay’s attraction
The way she simps and schemes and dresses Troy in prep school fashion
Our boys in kitchens, our wildcats, live ration to ration
As Lava Springs patrons spend the day chillaxin’
This bitch is askin' for someone to give her a smack
Somebody gimme some dirt on this fabulous ass so we can at last unmask her
I'll close the curtain on her, someone pull the rope and bop it
While we were all watching, she put Troy Bolton in her pocket

[TAYLOR & GAB:]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

Look back at our Twinkle Towne

[KESLI:]
Which I wrote

[ALL:]
Should we be surprised?
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

[TAYLOR:]
So he gave you a beautiful neck-a-lace

GAB:
Didn’t that mean that he promised to be my number one guy?

[KELSI:]
Look in his eyes!

[TAYLOR:]
See how he lies

[KELSI:]
Now always ditching you and the guys 

[TAYLOR:]
Using Sharpay’s dad’s connections
Building a college career in seconds

[KELSI:]
If we don't stop it Sharpay learns no lesson

[GABRIELLA:]
I thought he was mine :(

[TAYLOR:]
Somebody has to stand up for our gal!

[KELSI:]
Somebody has to boost morale!

[TAYLOR:]
If there's an Evans we want to take down

[TAY & KELSI:]
You can’t just go and remove her crown

[KELSI:]
I write the songs, I have to sit in
Watching her singing and dancing and spinning
If Troy Bolton isn't gon' listen
To us in the thick of it, this is the difference:
Troy is a clown!

[TAY & KELS & GAB:]
Oh!
This summer job isn't employment we chose
Oh!
This summer job’s keeping us all on our toes
Oh!
Let's show this upper-class club who they're up against!
Oh!

[TAY & KELSI:]
East High motherfuckin'

[ALL:]
Wildcats!!

[ALL:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
Let's follow Sharpay and see where she goes

[Ensemble:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
Because every second her audacity grows

[Ensemble:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
If we follow Sharpay and see how she schemes
Roll up your sleeves, look for the keys to Sharpay’s misdeeds 

[ALL:]
It must be nice, it must be nice

[Gab:]
Follow Sharpay and see where she goes

[ALL:]
It must be nice, it must be nice

[WILDCATS:]
We will rescue our bro

[Gab, tay, kelsi:]
We won't be invisible
We won't be denied
Still
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side 

Sharpay On Your Side (Washington On Your Side)

bolton:
Ms. Darbus, you asked to see me?

darb:
I know you’re busy

bolt:
What do you need, ma’am? Ma’am?

darb:
I wanna give you a word of warning

bolt:
Ma’am, I don’t know what you heard
But whatever it is, Sharpay started it

darb:
I think Troy saw you and me  this morning

bolt:
You’re kidding

darb:
I need a favor

bolt:
Whatever you say, ma’am, I can talk to Troy a little later

darb:
Shh. Talk less 

bolt:
He’ll never guess
I know the situations grim, but I can always gaslight him 

darb:
I think that we should reassess

bolt:
Yes! We’ll find a way. Nothing really has to change

darb:
No, I think it’s best for us if we just call it quits 

bolt:
Ha! That’s a pretty good one

darb:
This is the end We’re breaking up I’m serious

bolt:
I’m sorry, what?

darb:
One last time
Relax, sing a song with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And we’ll have no choice but to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I

bolt:
No, ma’am, why?

darb:
I wanna talk about your family

bolt:
Ma’am, with me and my wife on the verge of divorce, is this the best time

darb:
Don’t wanna be the cause of you and Troy fighting

bolt:
But—

darb:
Get with the program, stop whining
After everything that has occurred
 The ways of your body I have learned

bolt:
As far as the students are concerned
They’ll never know, please don’t leave me alone
Please! One last time
Dribble my balls with me 
One last time
And if we have tonight
Then maybe we won’t have to say goodbye
Goodbye
You and I

darb:
Mr. Bolton, think of your family!

bolt:
No! We’ve done nothing wrong.

darb:
Your son is my starring lead

bolt:
So maybe you could be his new mom
Why do you have to say goodbye?

darb:
If I say goodbye, your family can hold strong
It outlives you when you’re gone
Like the playwrights say:
Theatre is the art form of the present: 
it exists only in the present, and then it's gone.
And It’s quite a performance we gave
You and I are just the present, no future
The curtain is closed, I’m afraid
Take a bow for the performance you gave
One last time

bolt:
One last time

darb:
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?…
Why, such is love’s transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

[Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.]

bolt:
One last time 

ALL WOMEN:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

darb:
Teach me how to say goodbye

COMPANY:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

bolt:
You and I

COMPANY:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

bolt:
Gonna bone

Gonna bone!

One Last Time

Troy’s mom:

They say my husband is cheating on me and he’s slipping away
Is that true?
I wasn't aware that was something a husband could do

I'm perplexed, what other women could possibly be in his life?
Let me check his texts!

There’s no other women in town that could capture his heart

😮                                                                
Ms. Darbus?

I know her, that can't be
That's that little hag who sang to me

All those years ago, what was it, ‘05?
That whore man, I’m going to bury him alive

Tensions rise, marriages fall
I should’ve know he wasn’t playing ball

All those times, they had their fun
I will tear my husband into pieces
Then his coaching days are done

Ha ha ha ha ah (maniacal laughter)

Mr. Jack Bolton… good luck

I Know Her (I Know Him)

[ZEKE:]
How does Troy Bolton the star baller
Affectionate boyfriend of the lifeguard
Finder of the summer jobs
Ardently abuse his new promosh
Destroy his reputation?
Welcome, folks, to

[Zeke/Company:]
The Evans administration!

[Zeke:]
Sharpay knows higher-ups, arranges Troy’s scholarship

[Ryan:]
Sharpay is out of control, now this is a dictatorship

[Zeke:]
Sharpay fires Ryan
Privately calls him the f slur in her taunts

[Troy:]
Say what?!

[Zeke:]
Ryan posts on myspace his response

[Ryan:]
Sit down, Shar, you untalented c*unt

[Troy:] (to himself)
Ryan’s not gay…?

[Gabriella:]
You should’ve been at the baseball game
We had a blast

[Ryan:]
It was so fun (ad lib)
Gabriella’s mom makes the best brownies-

[Troy:]
Yeah, I’ve had ‘em. 😡

The Evans Administration (The Adams Administration)

[TROY]
Gabriella…..
Ryan…………..
Brownies?
What is this?

I have been suspicious for the past five minutes
I am finding it so difficult to mind my own business
I noticed you and Ryan are acting very intimate together

[GABRIELLA]
Is that what you think? Are you done?

[TROY]
I know he looks so hot doing his little jazz squares
But beyond that I’m not sure how him and I would compare
To seek another guy, to stray from our relationship
I never thought you’d be the one I’d have this conversation with
A theater kid homewrecking, can’t believe my eyes
Tell me the truth, don’t give me your lies
I hope that you enjoyed him, hope you had your fun
Ya best fess up or we are done done

[GAB]
Troy, how can you say this while you’re running off with Sharpay?

[CHAD, RYAN, ZEKE?]
Sharpay

[GAB]
You know nothing, you haven’t even noticed that Ryan is gay

[THE BOYS]
Is Gay

[GAB]
If Chad can prove I never cheated on you
Do you promise to stop thinking something so untrue?

[CHAD]
No one else was in the room where it happened

[GAB]
Is this okay?

[CHAD]
Um, yes, he said
[RYAN]
Yeah sure whatever

“Look Chad I get that you are too scared to dance
So I think that it’s time to put your fear up to the test
If I win this baseball quest then you and all your friends
Will have to bring your zest to the talent fest”

[TROY]
Whoah

[CHAD]
He courted me
Escorted me away and when he had me at the lockers
That’s when Ryan rewarded me
Orally
It was disorderly
I’m sorry you had to find out this way
But I hope you can support me

As you can see I kept a record of every tryst in my little diary
Check it again, our homosexuality is consistent, see?
Ry never kissed a mouth that wasn’t mine
So don’t come after my lover this time
We have no reason for shame
Ryan is no common heathen, though I admit he’s got game
As you can see he has done nothing of hetero action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?

[TROY]
My God

[RYAN]
Chad, let’s go

[GAB]
So?

[ZEKE]
You can’t know if you don’t show

[GAB?]
Troy
Sharpay’s trying to turn you against me
How can you not know?

Whatever Troy, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know

We Know

In the middle of a golf course
There is quiet
For just a moment
The green grass.

When I auditioned for the musicale
I almost ruined the team
I had to sing,
And they couldn’t see my side.  
I played my way out,
Played the game so that they could see….
I played my way out
I looked up and East High had its eyes on me.

The Evans’ came around
Partial strangers
Moved to kindness by my talents
Did enough for me to get opportunities
To be college bound.
I sang in the Spring Music-AL,                                
I led my team to championships                              
I worked harder than Coach Bolton, himself.        
I sang Gabriella love songs until she fell               
I got all my friends hired, I defended them well.
And in the face of confusion and resistance
My talents wrote my future into existence.
And when my foes moved against me with persistence,    
I picked up a ball, I went the fucking distance! 
   
In the baseball diamond
There is Ryan
For just a moment
And also .. Chad?
When I was seventeen a summer job
Destroyed my team,
I was a clown,
I told so many lies. 

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (I'll sing my way out)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (sing every note and win back my team.)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, wait (east high has its eyes on you)
I'll sing my way out
Overwhelm them with melody 
This is the time for integrity, this is how 
I can prove they can bet on me

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet
