[Everyone]
Have you read this?

[Kelsi/Chad/etc.]
Lava Springs Employees can no longer perform
In the star dazzle talent show

[ZEKE]
Highlights!

[Sharpay]
I overheard the wildcats 
and Ryan rehearsing the other day
They were conspiring against me 
The Star Dazzle Competition 
is my one time to shine 
away from east high
So Fulton got the Wildcats out of my show

[Kelsi/Zeke/etc.] 
Damn!

[Chad]
Man, this fucking sucks I just learned how to do a pas de bourree!

[Kelsi]
Pas de bourree!

[Taylor]
Pas de bourree!

[DEEP VOICE]
Damn!

[Taylor]
“With one noticeable exception being Mr. Troy Bolton
“”

[Kelsi/Chad]
No…

[COMPANY]

[Kelsi]

[Chad etc.]

[Kelsi]

[Kelsi]

[Sharpay]
That’s one less thing to worry about

[Sharpay & fulton???]
That’s one less thing to worry about!

[RYAN]
I came as soon as I heard

[Kelsi]
What?!

[SHARPAY]
Ryan—

[COMPANY]
All the way from Yoga?!
Damn

[SHARPAY]
Ryan, thank God
Someone who understands what I’m
Struggling here to do

[Ryan]
I’m not here for you

[ENSEMBLE]
Oooooh!

[RYAN]
I know my classmates like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as talented or kind
I trained my classmates to dance every single night 
They deserve their moment to shine this time
Put what we had aside
I’m standing at their side
You could never be satisfied
God, I hope you’re satisfied

[wildcats]
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

SHARPAY:
That’s one less thing to worry about.	

[ENSEMBLE MEN]
Never gon’ win star dazzle now


That’s one less thing to worry about.


[Sharpay]
Hey!
I do what I need to do to win!
[Sharpay & Fulton]
Hey!
I do what I need to do to win!	



[ENSEMBLE WOMEN]
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

Sharpay Planned this

[ALL]
Have you read this?

[Kelsi&chad]
Sharpay’s acting like Troy’s sugar daddy…

[COMPANY]
Poor Gabby!

The Evans Planned This (The Reynolds Pamphlet)

[ALL]
The class of 2008

[JASON]
Can we get back to high school?

[ZEKE]
Please?

[SHARPAY]
So. Every high school has a scandal, yes it’s bound to happen
My brother’s dating Chad, the Wildcats basketball co-captain.
Poor Troy Bolton? He is missing in action
So now I’m facing—

[ZEKE & JASON]
Gabriella!

[SHARPAY]
To my dissatisfaction

[RYAN]
She can hit a C7. Darbus loves her range.

[SHARPAY]
She’s not that great at acting, could be easily interchanged

[RYAN]
But give her a song, she slays it, no matter how the part’s arranged

[SHARPAY]
they say that  I’m high maintenance, at least they know I own the stage

[RYAN]
That’s the problem, sis, Gabriella’s fresh, new talent

[SHARPAY]
Ha!

[TIARA]
You need to change course, bring theater back into balance

[SHARPAY]
Sorry, who are you?

[TIARA]
Tiara Gold

[SHARPAY]
And?

[TIARA]
You need an assistant, so I’ve been told

[SHARPAY]
Ok sure!

[TIARA]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[TIARA & SHARPAY]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[KELSI & ENSEMBLE]
Come on guys!
No!
Sing more!
No!
Bring your talent right up to the stage door
No!
Dance with him!
What!
Duet with her!
What!
It’s senior year, ladies, our last chance to bond and rehearse!

[CHAD]
I don’t like singing

[RYAN]
Well, we need some dancers in the chorus

[TAYLOR]
And Darbus—

[ZEKE]
She’s snapped her cap!

[MARTHA]
She wants a grand performance

[KELSI]
You loved the talent show!

[JASON]
I can’t believe we won that thing!

[RYAN]
Then this should be a breeze

[CHAD]
As long as I don’t have to sing

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: we all know that your father’s death has been so disappointing

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ALL]
Theater or sports?
Sneakers or dancing shoes?
Theater or sports?
But if you had to choose
Dear Troy Bolton: (Theater or Sports?)
your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining (Sneakers or dancing shoes?)
But if you had to choose

[TROY]
Well, if it isn’t Ms. Darbus. Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Troy Bolton!

[TROY]
You’ve created quite a stir, Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Water under the bridge!

[TROY]
Are you having auditions?

[DARBUS]
No!

[TROY]
That’s new

[DARBUS]
Frankly, it’s more entertaining

[TROY]
Ma’am—

[DARBUS]
Yes?

[TROY]
Have you chosen who will play who?

[DARBUS]
No. I’m in between two
And you know what?

[TROY]
What?

[DARBUS]
I learned that from you

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[RYAN]
Is it Sharpay?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[KELSI]
Is it Gabriella?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[ALL]
She’s posting the cast list!

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose
Who will be in the play
We will find out today
Choose
Choose
Choose!

[DARBUS]
So
The students are asking to hear my voice
This production is facing a difficult choice
And if you were to ask me who’ll play the lead—
—Gabriella is who we need
I’ve cast Sharpay many times before
I can’t deny she’s got allure
But when all is said and all is through
Gabriella’s fresh! Sharpay’s old news

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh

[Ryan]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

The roles have been asigned

[ENSEMBLE]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

[KESLI]
And?

[RYAN]
Sharpay’s been pushed aside

[SHARPAY]
Congrats on a job well done
I did give you a fight

[GABRIELLA]
Yeah

[SHARPAY]
I look forward to sharing the stage with you

[GABRIELLA]
Sharing?

[SHARPAY]
As your supporting lead

[GABRIELLA]
Um, Sharpay, I don’t know how to tell you this… Maybe you should take a look at the cast list

[TAYLOR]
It’s crazy that she assumes that she’s a lead… 

[GABRIELLA]
I honestly feel kind of bad

[TAYLOR]
Why?

[SHARPAY]
I’M THE UNDERSTUDY?

The Class of 2008 (The Election of 1800)

[SHARPAY]
How does Gabriella
A know-it-all
Transfer kid, math whiz
Pathetic, rat bitch
Somehow get cast
By Ms. Darbus, my mentor
In a craft she’s only just beginning
Just to keep me from winning?
I wanna be on the stage where it happens—

[SHARPAY AND COMPANY]
The stage where it happens
The stage where it happens

[SHARPAY]
You’ve kept me from—

[SHARPAY AND COMPANY]
The stage where it happens

[SHARPAY]
For the last time

Dear Gabriella:
I am quick to anger
And I toe the line
As I reckon with the effects
Of your life on mine
I look back on failed auditions
And in every place I checked
The only common thread has been you, I suspect
Now they’re saying I’m “pitchy”
That I’ve fallen from grace
If you’ve got a song to sing
Name a time and place
Face to face

I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate,
Sharpay Evs

[GABRIELLA]
Dear Sharpay:

I am not the reason no one likes you
No one likes how you behave
I cannot just go and change the cast list
I’m sorry that you feel betrayed
Even if they said what you think they said
You have always treated everyone with intolerance?
Now you’re not on top, that’s the consequence

[KELSI]
No offense…

[GABRIELLA]
Hey, I used to be shy
Now I soar and fly and you know that I’m 
Tryin’ to do my best for our thee-ate-her
I don’t wanna fight
I’ll see you on stage for opening night

I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate, 
G. Montez

[SHARPAY]
Careful how you proceed miss girl,
Talented as you may be, miss girl
We all know who’s really fit to lead so
You better Practice your high C, miss girl

[GABRIELLA]
Sharpay, your talent is legitimate
I stand by what I said, every bit of it
You sing only for yourself
It’s what you do
I can’t apologize because it’s true

[SHRAPAY]
Then sing, Gabriella
The auditorium. Lunch
Same old rules

[GAB]
You’re on

[GABRIELLA & SHARPAY]
I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate,

[GABRIELLA]
G. Montez

[SHARPAY]
Sharpay Evs.


Your Friend and Classmate (Your Obedient Servant)

It's Quiet at Chad's

[TROY]
Gabriella, come back to lunch

[GAB]
I have rehearsal on the stage right now

[TROY]
But it’s lunch time

[GAB]
I know. I just need to go over my lines

[TROY]
How do you rehearse til your vocal cords will burst?

[GAB]
Troy… 

[TROY]
Come sit with me. That would be enough

[GAB]
I’ll see you soon on the stage

[TROY]
Come back to eat

[GAB]
Kelsi’s waiting on me

[TROY]
Well, I’m going back to eat

[GAB ]
Hey. Best of boys and best of Boltons
