Sharpay is gracious as she loses the Julliard scholarship to Ryan, and her hard work in musical theater lands her elsewhere, as seen in "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure" (2011).īut by the end of the trilogy, Sharpay still carries a soured reputation and Gabriella and Troy are never called out or penalized for their hypocritical, fickle commitment to theater.Ībove all, Sharpay was never the villain she's painted to be. Our beloved protagonists go forth to study law and basketball (with a sprinkle of theater). But Troy and Gabriella are hailed as the heroes of the school (again!) by doing the bare minimum - showing up last minute to perform a duet during act two of the musical. Sharpay even steps up to fill Gabriella's role while still dealing with her fellow Wildcats' lack of support. There's nothing wrong with pursuing new interests later on in one's high-school career - which "Stick to the Status Quo" tries to highlight - but for Troy and Gabriella to expect to land lead roles when they are complete beginners just isn't likely. They have also acted in 17 school productions, and understand the importance of accurate choreography, blocking, harmonies, and call times - something that Troy and Gabriella clearly don't know or care to learn about. Troy and Gabriella poke fun at signing up for the musical at first and, eventually, Troy auditions because he likes Gabriella, not because he has a genuine interest in performing arts.Ĭomparatively, Ryan and Sharpay have worked for several years to hone their talent and craft in musical theater. In fact, both of them categorically state that they have no interest in singing - it's not what they "do." Neither Troy nor Gabriella have any experience in singing, dancing, acting, or performing in musical theater when we are first introduced to them.
