Lyrics by Maddie Grills. Performed by Maddie, Victoria, Joey, Brooke, and Sally.

Kelsi:
Sharpay, do you yield?

Ryan?:
She’s covered in nachos!
Yes, she yields!

Gabriella:
I’m satisfied

Kelsi::
Hey, we gotta get outta here!

Troy:
Go! You won

COMPANY:
Here comes Ms. Darbus!

Chad:
This should be fun

Darb:
What is the meaning of this? Ryan, please, get a towel for your si-ister 

Ryan:
Yes, ma’am

Sharpay:
Ms. D, Gabby dumped her whole lunch on me
On purpose, see, the whole team did this to me
To ruin Twinkle Town

Ryan:
That’s right!

Coach Dad:
Troy Bolton!

Troy:
Dad!

Coach:
Meet me inside

COMPANY:
Meet him inside! Meet him inside!
Meet him inside, meet him, meet him inside!

Dad:
Son—

Troy:
Listen, dad-

dad:
This sport is hard enough
Without your absence

Troy:
I’ll practice now. Don’t worry dad

Coach:
You missed practice, singing and dancing? You let your team down

Troy:
I’m really sorry dad, but I can’t bail on Gabriella
We made a commitment


Dad:
*Scoffs* ugh

Troy:
What does that mean?

Dad:
Watch your tone
I don’t like that girl showing up, suddenly, you’re no-show


Troy (OVERLAPPING):
Gabriella Montez
That is her name and she’s very
Nice 

She’s just a girl, dad, she’s not scary

Dad:
Well, you’re not just a guy. You’re the team leader
The team’s asking why
‘Cause, what you do

Troy:
No

Dad:
What you do affects the team and the whole school, they look to you to lead,
You can sing about this later  — after the game
   
This game’s important, we need you to win

Troy:
Lots of things are important

Dad:
You’re the playmaker, son, not a singer

Troy, yelling:
Did you ever think maybe I could be both?

……….


dad:
Get to class, Bolton
That’s an order from your coach

troy:
Dad-

dad:
I’ll see you at home

Meet Me Inside

Johns Hopkins midfielder Ryan Evans (Boys Latin) joined GCR to discuss why as the son and grandson of Hopkins lacrosse players, it means so much to him to have helped get the program turned around, how he almost lost his career (and arm!) in a boating accident and Sunday's NCAA Tournament opener against Bryant...

Ryan Evans (May 11, 2023)

Non-Stop

[COMPANY]
Summer… su-su-summer
Su-su-summer… 


[ZEKE] 
Summer 2007.
How does an athlete, baller
Theater kid, unemployed cishet 

Pick up a job for all his friends? Does he

know he won’t have time for Gabriella til the sun sets?

Have it all, lose it all

You ready for more yet?

LIfeguard, waitress. I’ll be with the head chef.

Ev’ry Wild cat gets a job. We will represent! 

Not so fast. Someone came along to assist him

All of this because a girl wants to sing with him.

He doesn’t know it yet, he hasn’t heard the news

the Evans family owns the place, who fuckin’ knew?

And who’s the person we all have to thank?

Turns out we owe it to Sharpay. Sharpay!

[COMPANY]
Sharpay evans is coming home!
Sharpay evans is coming home!
Sharpay evans is coming home!
Sharpay Evans is coming home!

Sharpay evans is coming home, girl, she’s
Been off in high school for so long!

Aaa-ooo!
Aaa-ooo!


[SHARPAY]

The school has followed Troy to revolution,
There is no more status quo

But the curtain’s up
And I still sing.


[ENSEMBLE]
Aaa-ooo!

[SHARPY]
I helped Gabriella to perform now

I’m movin’ on to better things!

I gotta be at Lava Springs.’

Now my staycation begins…


[ENSEMBLE]
Aaa-ooo!

[SHARPAY]
I want fabulous!

Fabulous!

With my girls, gonna sit at the pool
And maybe take a dip

Out with the old and in with the new

No time for clouds when the sky’s so blue

I’ve got fashion, parties, bling, fabulous everything.


[ENSEMBLE]
Aaa-ooo!

[SHARPAY]

There’s an unread text from Fulton

Haven’t even put my bags down yet

Ryan, be a dear brother, check my phone for me.

It says my parents are throwing a talent show
And that I’m gonna be the star of the stage.

(RYAN)
Slay!

(SHARPAY)
And my songs are already approved...

I just got home and now I’m headed up to rehearse!


[ENSEMBLE]
Headin’ to rehearse!!
Headin’ to rehearse!!

[SHARPAY & ENSEMBLE]
Someone get me an iced tea

And fetch my towel from Turkey (towel from Turkey)

Ready to face 
This summer, 
The whole world according to me! (according to me)

But who’s waitin’ for me when I step in the place?

My man, Mr. Fulton, red in the face

He grabs my arm and
I respond
“What’s goin’ on?”

(Aaa-ooo!)

[FULTON]

Sharpay, we were understaffed for summer, and it almost took a toll.
Troy Bolton got us out of the mess we were in.


[ENSEMBLE]
Aaa-ooo!

[Sharpay]
The wildcats in the kitchen, there is no doubt
They will take over my show!

Star Dazzle is for me, alone. 
Ryan! Where have you been?

[RYAN]
Uh...yoga


[ENSEMBLE]
Aaa-ooo!

[SHARPAY]
We have to win

[Ryan & ENSEMBLE]
And be fabulous!
Fa? Fa? Fabulous?
Fabulous!
I’ve come home to this?

[SHARPAY]
How can I relax with Wildcats in the mix? 
Wildcats, in the mix

[TROY]
I have my first work shift today,

WILDCATS: 
Wildcats!

TROY:
I’ll sneak off to see Gabriella on my break!

[CHAD]
I’m already on my way (On my way)
To picking up some tips. (pick up some tips!)
Ahhh ah!

[FULTON]
Miss Evans, welcome home


[CHAD]
MISS Evans??? Are we really doing this?


[FULTON AND ENSEMBLE]
Miss Evans, welcome home


[COMPANY]
Miss Evans, welcome home
Girl, you’ve been off at high school for so long!

[SHARPAY]
Give me fabulous!


Fabulous (What'd I Miss)

The Room Where It Happens

[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

Bet On It (Hurricane)
