Like last year, Ashley gave me a tour of the wardrobe trailer where all of Sharpay’s over the top outfits live. A bigger budget meant better clothes for Sharpay. On the first two films all of her clothes were bought off the rack or from designers. For the feature film most of Sharpay’s clothes have been custom designed. In the past Sharpay’s clothes have been blinged out with rhinestones or crystals. This time anything sparkly is strictly Swarovski Crystal.
Everyone was pretty tight-lipped about what will happen in this third installment, but I was able to get a few tidbits out of them. So, if you or your kids don’t like spoilers than quit reading now.
It’s already been revealed that the film will focus on Senior Year, which means prom and graduation will be prominently featured. The prom sequences will feature a huge dance number to a song called “A Night To Remember.”
The graduating class will be focusing on their future, which for most will be college. Ashley reveals that Sharpay has her sights set on Broadway. Everyone will be competing this year for a Julliard scholarship which Vanessa tells me won’t go to the person you think it might.
Sharpay will get a run for her money from a new character, a sophomore played by British newcomer Jemma McKenzie Brown. Jemma plays foreign exchange student Tiara Gold (yep, that’s her name!) who arrives at school and becomes a threat to queen bee Sharpay.
Zac revealed that the opening musical number would be to a song called “Now or Never,” which occurs during a huge basketball ball game.
It also sounds like we will get to see where everyone ends up after school at the end of the film. I was told that Vanessa’s wardrobe starts out very romantic and sweet but as she “goes off to college” we’ll see her morph into a more Bohemian Chic wardrobe.
Two other new characters have been added to the film and I’ll tell you all about them tomorrow.
