Rumour has it, if you shout “WHAT TEAM?” wherever Zac Efron is he will uncontrollably shout back “WILDCATS!”
A love story to last throughout the ages, High School Musical relayed the tale of two teenagers manoeuvring their way through the social cliques, love and rejection that high school thrusts on to teens daily. How would this not be a success?
We’ve all waited 12 years to sing karaoke in a ski chalet on New Years Eve with a mystery dream hunk, but in reality…our only karaoke experience is after a few drinks on girls night out. Sigh…
Nevertheless, the film taught us 2 ways to be successful in life:
- Do not stick to the status quo.
- Bop, Bop, Bop. Bop to the Top.
Now most of the cast are in their 30s (I know, we feel practically antique), what happened after they graduated East High and ventured into the big wide world?
Did Zeke go into baking? Did Martha get to pop, lock jam and break? Remember the guy who just wanted to play the cello? You might not want to see what happened to him…
Zac Efron – Troy Bolton
The basketball playing, heart-throb that we had plastered in posters all over our walls. Guilty…
High school heart-throb
East High’s most popular student and captain of the Wildcats, he was expected to play ball – not just in Basketball but in sticking to the Status Quo.

But if he had, well he simply wouldn’t be the dreamboat whose name we scribbled in our notebooks.
Mrs Troy Bolton
It’s a crisp New Years Eve and he is pushed on stage to sing karaoke with a mystery girl who, as fate would have it, then moved to his high school.

Sounds plausible, right? I can’t believe this completely likely scenario never happened to us… Life is just too unfair.
Start of something new
Defying the ‘jock’ stereotype, his love for Gabriella is stronger than any need to be cool and now no man will ever live up to Troy Bolton. Sigh.
