How old is high school musical cast

Keep reading to see the real ages of the cast of the first "HSM" movie compared to their characters. The junior is the captain of the varsity basketball team and the most popular male student at East High.

With the help of Gabriella Montez, Troy also embraces his artistic side. At 18, Bolton would have either been wrapping up senior year or he'd be playing college hoops already. Still, since Efron is only one or two years older than his character, it makes the performance pretty believable. Gabriella met Troy at a New Year's Eve party. When the two are called upon to sing a karaoke duet, it's immediately apparent they have chemistry.

When Troy and Gabriella return to school from winter break, they audition for the school musical and find themselves struggling to attend callbacks for the lead roles while Troy juggles basketball and Gabriella juggles East High's Scholastic Decathlon Team. Hudgens was still of high school age while filming the movie, but a year or two older than her character would be as a junior. She's one of the cast members with the closest age to their character.

Like most of the junior class, Sharpay is also 16 or 17 years old. Throughout the first film, Sharpay and her brother, Ryan, attempt to sabotage Troy and Gabriella's chance to attend callbacks. The twins have worked their entire lives to star as leads in a musical and feel the roles are being stolen from them. Tisdale was a few years older than Sharpay would have been but still pulled off the theater diva well.

In January, Grabeel spoke with Insider's Olivia Singh and weighed in on whether Sharpay was the villain or victim of the movie. You can say that she's a victim by saying, 'Oh, poor her because she didn't get this or she didn't get that. She's conniving in undermining Gabriella.

She's usurping her at every corner.
