*Gabriella Montez: (Vocal Range: A3-D5)

Gabriella Montez is the new student who’s struggling to find her place at East High. Smart and independent, Gabriella can be shy and vulnerable at times. She comes into her own when she discovers her talent and love for singing, with Troy.

*Troy Bolton (Vocal Range: Eb2-Bb3)

Troy Bolton, the most popular student at East High, is the star of the basketball team who yearns to be more than what others – especially his dad, Coach Bolton – want him to be. A natural athlete and leader with charm to spare, Troy discovers he loves to sing, but is afraid to admit it to his basketball buddies. 

*Sharpay Evans (Vocal Range: A3-A4)

Sharpay Evans is the dramatic and self- centered star of the school musicals. Between her and Ryan, she’s the alpha twin – over-the-top, demanding, and always “on,” with a flair for the theatrical. This diva knows how to work a crowd.

*Ryan Evans (Vocal Range: G2-A3)

Ryan Evans is Sharpay’s fraternal twin and, like her, he lives to sing, dance, and get loads of attention. Subordinate to his sister, Ryan generally follows Sharpay’s orders and lets her have the spotlight, but he longs to break free from her shadow and assert himself. 

*Kelsi Nielsen (Vocal Range: D4-A4)

Kelsi Nielsen, the neo-feminist writer- composer of the winter musical, Juliet and Romeo, possesses a shy demeanor but no tolerance for the egocentric likes of Sharpay.

*Chad Danforth (Vocal Range: B2-G3)

Chad Danforth, one of Troy’s best friends, is a sports fanatic. Focused on winning the basketball championship, Chad slowly begins to understand that there might be more to life than ball – including his crush on Taylor. 

*Zeke Baylor (Vocal Range: G2-G#3)

Zeke Baylor, Troy’s other best buddy, is a basketball player with a sweet side. He has two secrets: a crush on Sharpay and a love for baking! 

*Taylor McKessie (Vocal Range: A2-A3)

Taylor McKessie, the very put-together president of the Science Club, is super-assertive and very intent on Gabriella joining the Science Decathlon team so they can (finally!) win the competition. Taylor has a hidden soft spot for Chad, but would never let it be known that she’s into a jock.

Ms. Darbus 

Ms. Darbus is East High’s eccentric drama teacher. Passionate and disciplined, she never stops trying to enrich the lives of her students through the wonders of live theater. 

Coach Bolton

Coach Bolton, the stern basketball coach and Troy’s sometimes overbearing dad, lost the big game years ago and wants a second chance through his basketball-star son. 

*Martha Cox (Vocal Range: G3-B4)

Martha Cox, a proud member of the Science Club, possesses a private passion for dancing.  

Jack Scott 

Jack Scott is the school announcer with a larger-than-life personality, longs to be a D.J.
