We also learned that Ashley looks hot as Sharpay. Well, we knew that before, but it’s fun to confirm it!
And here’s a new video with more of Ashley Tisdale & Austin Butler filming the movie.
Hellcats is supposed to begin filming again next month, so I guess they plan on wrapping principle photography on Sharpay by then. But who really knows?
I don’t know how Ashley Tisdale can shoot Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure and Hellcats at the same time, but I guess she’s figured out a way!
Official Disney Press Release Follows:
PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON “SHARPAY’S FABULOUS ADVENTURE,”
A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE DIRECTED BY MICHAEL LEMBECK
AND STARRING ASHLEY TISDALE
Austin Butler and Bradley Steven Perry Join the Cast
Production has begun on “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure,” a Disney Channel Original Movie directed by Emmy Award-winning director Michael Lembeck (“Tooth Fairy,” “Santa Clause 2″ and “Santa Clause 3.”). Ashley Tisdale stars as the scene-stealing drama queen Sharpay Evans in the role she made so popular in the “High School Musical” TV movies and feature film. “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” is scheduled to premiere in 2011 on Disney Channel.
In addition to Tisdale, the movie stars Austin Butler (“Life Unexpected” and “Ruby and the Rockits”) as confident film student Peyton Leverett and Bradley Steven Perry (“Good Luck Charlie”) as a precocious young dog owner and Sharpay’s nemesis, Roger Elliston the 3rd.
Rounding out the cast is Cameron Goodman (“Phineas and Ferb”) as a Broadway star with Sharpay on her radar, Alec Mapa (“Ugly Betty”) as Broadway show director Gill Samms, and Jack Plotnick (“The Mentalist”) as the upbeat and enthusiastic scribe, Neal Roberts.
“Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” will feature four original songs by songwriters Randy Petersen and Kevin Quinn (“I’m Gonna Shine”), Matthew Tishler and Amy Powers (“My Boy and Me” and “The Rest of My Life”), David Lawrence and Faye Greenberg (“New York’s Best Kept Secret”).
In the movie, a New York casting director spots aspiring thespian Sharpay Evans performing with her dog, Boi, at a charity gala and offers to arrange an audition for a new Broadway musical. Sharpay packs her bags with Boi in tow and heads to the Big Apple to fulfill her destiny on Broadway. Her father has given her one month to make it to center stage, or else she will have to return home and learn the family business. However Sharpay’s dreams are turned upside down when she discovers the Broadway role is really for Boi, not her. Pushing her disappointment aside, Sharpay sets out to make Boi the most fabulous canine to hit the Great White Way.
The Emmy Award-winning “High School Musical” has reached more than 290 million viewers, in 24 languages. Its soundtrack was the #1 album of 2006 and the DVD was the year’s #1 TV movie on DVD. Its sequel, “High School Musical 2,” ranked as the #1 basic cable telecast of all time (18.6 million viewers) and has been seen by nearly 300 million Total Viewers in over 27 languages. The “High School Musical 2″ soundtrack is triple Platinum and its DVD release was the top-selling TV property on DVD for 2007. Walt Disney Pictures debuted “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” in 2008. It grossed more than $250 million at the worldwide box office.
Tisdale will also serve as executive producer of the movie, along with Barry Rosenbush and Bill Borden (both of the “High School Musical” movies). “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” was written by Robert Horn (writer of Broadway’s “13″ and writer/producer of “Designing Women”).

Wow, this year is looking like it’s going to be a busy one for Ashley Tisdale!
Aly tweeted earlier today that her and Ashley are leaving for Hellcats filming in Vancouver on Sunday. And now we know that Tizz is filming a new Sharpay spinoff movie this summer. But not only is she staring, she’s also an executive producer. So she’s gonna make some really good money on this project.
SHARPAY EVANS IS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT IN
“SHARPAY’S FABULOUS ADVENTURE,”
A DISNEY CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE SLATED
FOR A 2011 PREMIERE ON DISNEY CHANNEL
– Ashley Tisdale Stars and Executive-Produces –
The irrepressible diva Sharpay Evans, recent graduate of East High School, seizes the spotlight in “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure,” a Disney Channel Original Movie scheduled to begin production this summer for a 2011 premiere. The incomparable Ashley Tisdale will reprise the role she made so popular in the “High School Musical” TV movies and feature film. Tisdale will also serve as executive producer of the movie which was written by Robert Horn (producer of Broadway’s “13″ and writer/producer of “Designing Women”). Barry Rosenbush and Bill Borden (both of the “High School Musical” movies) will also serve as executive producers of the movie.
In making the announcement, Gary Marsh, president, Entertainment, and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said: “In ‘Sharpay,’ Ashley Tisdale brought to life one of the most memorable comedic characters we’ve seen in years. This movie captures the absolutely perfect next chapter in Sharpay’s life, as she tries to cultivate the humanity buried, deep, deep within her – a challenging and hilarious endeavor.”
Aspiring thespian Sharpay Evans, who was once a big, fabulous fish in a small pond (a man-made pond at a resort country club that her father owns), is finally about to meet her destiny on Broadway, and luckily, theater lighting highlights her hair and skin tone beautifully. Her big break comes after a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, and now there’s not a marquee big enough or lights bright enough to contain the glorious fame she plans on having. Sharpay and Boi head to New York, but theatre is a dog eat dog world, and nothing turns out as Sharpay expects, especially when she meets her match in a rather daunting Broadway starlet (who arrived in Midtown Manhattan as a recent winner of “So You Think You’re America’s Most Talented Performing Idol”).
The Great White Way is all Sharpay’s ever dreamed of, especially since she already has everything else. Life in the big city is a shock, but there’s an even bigger bombshell when Sharpay finally realizes the Broadway role is really for Boi, not her. Putting her disappointment aside, she sets out to make Boi the most fabulous canine star to hit the stage, with the hope that his fame will become her fame (after all, she is his entourage and she holds the leash). Before long, Sharpay makes a new friend in a student filmmaker, Callem, who finds her to be a fascinating subject. Meanwhile, Boi finds puppy love on a Big Apple adventure of his own.
I have been thinking about starting a forum on this site for quite some time, and finally decided to go for it.
We’ve all had some really fun discussions on the blog using the comments sections, so I hope we can continue that here on the new forum. That way the comments sections can stay on topic, and we can all still talk about how cute Selena Gomez is.
And look at that, I just happen to have a picture of Selena using her laptop on the set of the Wizards movie.
Sorry, I’m getting distracted.
I’ve started us off with five forum sections: Announcements, Disney Channel Shows, Disney Channel Stars, General Disney, and Off-Topicness.
I these should be a good match for the topics I think will spring up here, but we’ll make adjustments as necessary. If you have any thoughts on our format or layout please let me know! I’m very open to making changes if desired.
Well, it took me long enough, but I am proud to present over four thousand High School Musical 3 Screencaps! I absolutely loved this film, and I think it was a great way to cap off the series.
And I’m not ashamed to admit that I teared up a couple times. Especially at the rooftop dance scene.
There are great caps of the big six characters: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron),
Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens),
Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale),
Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu),
Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel),
and Taylor McKessie (Monique Coleman).
Although I wonder if Taylor is really deserving of being a “big six” character. Would anyone have really noticed if she had been replaced with a large rock? LOL
We also got a few good shots of Kelsi (Olesya Rulin),
and Tiara Gold (Jemma McKenzie-Brown).
Hats off to our wildcats!
(And when they make HSM4 they better bring Sharpay back after they left the door open for it.)
I can’t wait for Ashley’s new album. And I seriously hopes she does a decent concert tour to promote it. And I don’t mean a little mall tour like she did for Headstrong.
Last August High School Musical actress Olesya Rulin (whom played piano player Kelsi) attended an event called “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute!” at Santa Monica beach.
And don’t get me wrong, I knew that this Russian girl was hot, but like, wow.
Simply stunning.
It would be nice if she’s able to get a decent staring role in a direct to DVD film.
Let’s hope she gets some work post High School Musical!
