Thoughts when rewatching High School Musical

after being obsessed with High School Musical: the Musical the Series

pretty much just a bunch of parallels i noticed

Mostly how the characters in HSMTMTS match the characters they played with their season 1 arcs with a few exceptions.

1. I knew Chad carries his basketball everywhere, but boy he carries it everywhere…“She thinks I’m a Chad?!?” yeah you did bring a basketball to your audition so you sorta brought this on yourself Eej. He also just has a very Chad vibe I can’t explain.

2. Portwell in season 1 matches Taylor and Chad in just about every interaction they have from Taylor laughing at Chad up to Chad and Taylor scheming to get Troy and Gabriella out of the audition. Very wonderstudies with bad plans that don’t work out but then becoming the ones who go above and beyond to get Troy and Gabriella/ Ricky and Nini onstage for the callback/show for Breaking Free.

3. Troy sneaking through the building running around to auditions felt like a very Ricky move.

4. The only thing Seb and Sharpay have in common is that they deserved the lead and are under appreciated.

5. Alan the kid with the tie, who wrote his lines on his hands in the audition was giving me vibes of the kid who played Coach Bolton and sang Wondering in s2 auditions.

6. Ashlyn is Kelsi. Period. I love wondering for Ms. Darbus but like also it fits Kelsi too. And a Kelsi solo number would be like soooo good. The girl was frequently under appreciated I feel like she deserved it more than Ms. Darbus. Also since they are both songwriters.

7. And Ryan is not the brightest but always there with a funny one liner like Seb or Big Red, idk which he is more like.

8. Balcony scene- it mirrors the portwell couch scene so perfectlyi’m half convinced they copied the script. Also two seasons in and no one has ever gone on the balcony of the school and I want that so badly i don’t even know which couple should get it.

My findings are that Portwell season 1 is like Taylor and Chad and season 2 is Troyella. Almost like the wonderstudies got their chance to play both parts.

Also- How much time spans throughout the movies specifically between auditions and callbacks? Aren’t callbacks are usually within a week of the initial audition? the movie felt like more than a week
