She and Zac look so like Susan Dey and David Cassidy from The Partridge Family videos here. David became the biggest crush of young girls, too, because of the show, and he and Susan also dated each other back then until Susan realized he wasn't in love with her.

I was 9 when HSM came out, so peak age. It was huge globally! We even incorporated the songs into our school plays and taught teachers the dances! It’s wild to me that so much time has passed and how big it was at the time. My mum is from the Grease generation and I remember her always saying it’s our generations Grease!
The first High School Musical came out when I was 4. I turned 5 that summer and I am 20 years turning 21 in two months and still to this day, I love to watch all the HSM Movies!!!!

I lost count of the so many times I watched all of the HSM movies. I was obsessed!! Now I get to watch with my daughter who is also obsessed!! 💕

Say ok & sneaker night was and IS still a bop!
I love her! I grew up with her ❤️❤️❤️ Vanessa will always be Gabriella!
remember we’re all in this together 🥺
Kelly is such a great interviewer. She keeps the conversation going
I first watched HSM when I was 5th grade back in 2007. Now I am 29 years old, I still love HSM. I have their playlist. It's really magical back in the day until now. ❤ I am so happy I grew up watching this. ❤😊
Im still listening the highschool musical song .my favorite playlist
She look like Disney Princess 😍
I'm also a fan of Kelly, I really like her. She's genuinely one of my heroes and idols.
I was 10 or 11 when HSM came out. I was a Disney Channel and HSM Stan. I also LOVED the Cheetah Girls!! Also, “Say Ok” is my fav Vanessa song!

she hasn’t changed not one bit even her voice sounds the same wowww
I was 3 years old when hsm1 came out. Although i think i started watching it when all 3 movies were out already and I was 6. This was MY LIFE back then, I watched it way too much 😭 Watching it as an adult now brings a new perspective and whole new level of appreciation for the movies, I just love it even more. Musicals will never be cringey to me.
Happy B-day Vanessa Hudgens. Your beautiful. I love Bad Boys 3 For Life, HighSchool Musical, Robot Chicken, Drake & Josh and The Suite of Zack & Cody. U were amazing, Bad Boys For Life really kick-ass. U were amazing...! HighSchool Musical... u got the voice of an angel. U sing awesome, seriously, full respect.

I still can’t believe the original High School Musical came out 2 days before my 11th birthday and now I’m 28. God, I feel old. Especially now that Disney+ has the 4th season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series coming soon. It’s nice seeing kids now discovering this beloved franchise. Not to mention the cast reuniting for a special sing along version of We’re All in This Together back during 2020 when the COVID pandemic was a thing.
I'm from that generation that loved it when it first came out etc and I still love her now bc she's so like down to earth and real. Also 15 years ago wtf. Also Kelly's dress is a want and need

Oh the memories of watching it back in ‘06. I still watch an awful lot of that movie nowadays… funny enough my mom buys party supplies for her store and once we went shopping together and we ran into this tiny story with an old stock of high school musical party stickers and lol, me at age 27 was all like “mom can you get this for me” and she was like “yeah” but I KNOW deep inside she was all like “still????” lol

It's amazing and I learned English with High school musical guys. Wow it's been a part of my life since forever.

Musicals definitely don’t go out of style because I still love Mamma Mia!

They managed to leave such a mark that their whole soundtrack has stayed not just with me but with everyone in my age group. I was completely obsessed and today these songs can still rescue me from any sad bad mood lol no lie. It will never die. It’s so strange to see all the people from the same generation as me, now fully into their twenties and you can just tell these songs are ingrained in most of us😂. Tell me how has it been 16 years?!?? This was the elite Disney era and HSM was the peak.
