- Wildcats! - Get your head in the game!
We've never made it past the first round of the scholastic decathlon. You could be our answered prayer.
I'm focusing on my studies this semester, and help my mom get the new house organized. Maybe next year.
- What do you know about Troy Bolton? - Troy? Hmm.
I'm not an expert on that particular sub-species, however, unless you speak cheerleader, as in, \ Oh, he's so beautiful.
- Ha-ha. See what I mean? - I don't know how to speak cheerleader. We exist in an alternate universe to Troy the basketball boy. Have you tried to get to know him?
Watch how it works tomorrow when you have lunch with us.
Unless you'd rather sit with the cheerleaders and discuss firm nail beds. My nail beds are history.
Sister!
- Still don't understand this detention thing. - It was my fault. - Sorry, Dad. - Cross court.
Darbus will take any opportunity to bust my chops. That includes yours too. Hey, Dad?
Did you ever want to try something new, but were afraid of what your friends think? Like, going left? You're doing fine. Well... no.
I mean, what if you wanna try something really new and it's a total disaster and all your friends laugh at you.
Maybe they're not your friends. That was my whole point about team today. You gotta look out for each other. You're the leader. There's gonna be college scouts at our game next week. Know what a scholarship is worth these days? - A lot. - Yeah. Focus, Troy, come on. Whoo.
Just something for you.
I expect we all learned our homeroom manners yesterday, people, correct? If not, we have some dressing rooms that need painting. Now, a few announcements.
This morning during free period will be your chance for the musicale auditions, both single and pairs.
I will be in the theater until noon for those of you bold enough to extend the wingspan of your creative spirit.
When's she due back on the mother ship? Discussing the importance of Shakespeare... - What's up, man? - What's up?
The team's hitting the gym during free period. What should we run? I can't make it. I gotta catch up on some homework.
What? Hello, it's only the second day back. I'm not even behind on homework yet. And I've been behind on homework since preschool. That's hilarious. I'll catch you later. Homework? There's no way.
- How's it going? - Just hanging out? - Good to see you. - What's he doing?
How's it going, man?
Short-cut.
I'm late for class.
That's good, just leave it here.
This is where the true expression of the artist is realized.
Where inner truth is revealed through the actor's journey...
- Was that a cell phone? - Is it mine?
- No, ma'am. That was the warning bell. - Ah!
Those wishing to audition must understand that time is of the essence.
We have many roles to cast and final callbacks will be next week.
First, you will sing a few bars and I will give you a sense of whether or not
the theater is your calling. Better to hear it from me now than from your friends later.
Our composer, Kelsi Nielson, will accompany you
and be available for rehearsals prior to callbacks.
Shall we?
# It's hard to believe that I couldn't see # That you were always right beside me # This feeling like no other # I want you to know
Uh-huh. Yes, thank you. Next!
# It's hard to believe
# That I couldn't sneeze... see
# That you were always right there next to beside me
Alan, I admire your pluck.
- As to your singing... - #... like no other
That's a wonderful tie you're wearing. Next!
# It's hard to believe that I couldn't see # That you were always there beside me # This feeling's like no other # I want you to know Uh... stop.
#... so lonely before I finally found # What I've been looking... #... for
Ah... Cindra.
What courage to pursue a note that has not been accessed in the natural world.
Bravo! Brava!
Perhaps the spring musicale.
- # It's hard to believe that I could not see - # Can't see - # That you were right beside me - # Beside me - # Thought I was alone - # Alone - # With no one to hold - # To hold
- # But you were right beside me - # Beside me
Well, that was just...
...very disturbing. Go see a counselor. Uhh.
Next!
Hey!
So you decided to sign up for something?
- Uh... No. You? - No.
Um... why are you hiding behind a mop?
Your friends don't know you're here, right?
Right.
Thank you. Next.
Miss Darbus is a little... harsh.
- The Wildcat superstar's afraid? - No! I'm not afraid, I...
- I'm just... scared. - Me too... usually.
And for the lead roles of Minnie and Arnold we only have one couple signed up.
Sharpay and Ryan, I think it might be useful for you
to give us a sense of why we gather in this hallowed hall.
What key?
Oh, we had our rehearsal pianist do an arrangement. Oh.
Go!
# It's hard to believe that I couldn't see # You were always there beside me
# Thought I was alone with no one to hold # But you were always right beside me
- # This feeling's like no other - # I want you to know # I've never had someone that knows me like you do # The way you do
# I've never had someone as good for me as you # No one like you
# So lonely before I finally found # What I've been looking for
# So good to be seen, so good to be heard # Don't have to say a word
# For so long I was lost, so good to be found # I'm lovin' having you around # This feeling's like no other # I want you to know
# I've never had someone that knows me like you do # The way you do
# I've never had someone as good for me as you # No one like you
# So lonely before I finally found # What I've been looking for # Do-do-do
# Do do-do-do do-do # Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh # Do-do-do-do
# Do do-do-do do-do # Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I told you not to do the jazz squares.
It's a crowd favorite. Everybody loves a good jazz square.
Well...
Are there any last-minute sign-ups?
Don't be discouraged. The theater club needs more than singers. It needs fans too.
Buy tickets!
Oh, actually,
if you do the part with that particular song, I imagined it much slow...
If we do the part?
Kelsi, my sawed-off Sondheim, I've been in 17 school productions.
How many of your compositions have been selected?
