f you enjoy the now brunette Ashley Tisdale on TV’s “Hellcats” you’ll still probably remember her blonde “High School Musical” character Sharpay Evans. Sharpay was the gal students loved to hate; that snobby, rich, rule-the-school bee-otch who can get on your nerves like fingernails clawing a blackboard. Well, get ready because Sharpay is back in her own movie Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure out on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 19th.
Story goes: Sharpay is given a month to prove herself on stage in New York or her dad will doom her to working back in Albuquerque at his country club. Ambitious Sharpay has already landed an audition for a new Broadway show but, on arriving, learns that it is her cute dog Boi the Big Apple producers want!We’re on the cell with Ashley talking about her return to the character, her successful production company, her cute co-star Austin Butler who plays Sharpay’s love interest and more.
TeenHollywood: Was it easy to just become Sharpay again after a break from the character?
Ashley Tisdale: It was much harder this time because I was not surrounded by all the characters that I’m used to. It was a whole new cast. That was definitely a little different to get into. I was used to having Zac and Vanessa playing Troy and Gabriella. It was a little nerve-wracking because I felt a lot like Sharpay does in the movie; like I was out there on my own with a whole new cast.
TeenHollywood: I thought you did a great job of making Sharpay more vulnerable and human in this film than in the HSM movies. Was that a conscious decision on your part?
