Roles in this virtual musical production:

​

Troy Bolton
Troy Bolton, the most popular kid at East High, is the star of the basketball team who yearns to be more than what people want him to be.

This performer must be able to convey the full range of emotions and character traits Troy Bolton embodies: athletic, independent, sometimes shy, smitten with Gabriella, a true leader. Troy must able to sing from his heart in a naïve yet convincing manner. He should also be able to move like a natural athlete while dancing and singing.

Jack Scott

Gender: Male

​

Chad Danforth
Chad Danforth is a hot-wired jock, second in command to Troy.

Ryan Evans
Ryan Evans is Sharpay's fraternal twin and a star in the making. This character loves singing, dancing and lots of attention. He follows Sharpay's orders, but wants to break free from her shadow.

​

Gabriella Montez
Gabriella Montez is the new girl in school. Gabriella is intelligent, pretty ("girl next door" type) and shy. She possesses a fantastic voice when she sings with Troy. Performer must be able to take positive risks with both her acting and singing. She must be able to portray her intelligence and independence and then easily switch over to her shy and vulnerable side. Actress must have a strong sense of pitch and the ability to hold her own with (and without!) a partner in order to make the most of this role. 
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: A3

Taylor Mckessie
Taylor McKessie, the head Brainiac of the school, is the president of the Science Club. She wants Gabriella to join the Science Decathlon team so they can finally win the competition.

Gender: Female

Sharpay Evans
Sharpay Evans is the egocentric star of the school musicals. She is Ryan's older twin (and the alpha dog of the two) and has a mad crush on Troy. Sharpay has never met a mirror she didn't like. Performer must be able to portray a diva and have solid acting chops and strong singing and dancing skills. Sharpay knows how to work a crowd.
Gender: Female

Martha Cox
Martha Cox is a proud member of the Science Club and is brainy with a secret love of dancing. She has a fun-loving sidekicky personality and becomes an adoring devotee of Gabriella.

Ideally looking for a student that can show off some crazy brake dancing moves, bravo! Brava!
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: Bb4
Vocal range bottom: G3

Kelsi Nielsen
Kelsi Nielsen is a thespian rehearsal pianist and student composer extraordinaire. Underneath her shy demeanor, Kelsi has no tolerance for people (read: Sharpay) who use their talent only to be number one. This actor will play the underdog but has the intelligence and ability to shoot the "zingers" at Sharpay with timing and accuracy. Kelsi has a small solo in "We're All in This Together," but it is secondary to her acting importance. 
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: Bb4
Vocal range bottom: D4

Gender: Male

Gender: Female

Cyndra
Cyndra is the final auditionee and she sounds like an opera audition for the Met. Looking for a singer that can imitate an obnoxious vibrato in a serious manner.
