During High School Musical’s 10-year reunion special this week, the cast showed their original auditions for Disney Channel’s movie musical.
A highlight of the auditions they showed were Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron’s for the lead roles of Gabriella and Troy.
A very young Hudgens is seen telling Efron, whom she dated off-screen for a few years, "Remember in kindergarten, how you’d meet a kid and know absolutely nothing about them and then 10 seconds later, you’re playing like you’re best friends, because you didn’t have to be anything but yourself? Singing with you felt like that."
Unfortunately, Efron couldn't make the reunion due to a scheduling conflict. His fans took to social media to voice their frustrations, but he apologized and explained he had prior commitments to promote his new film with Robert De Niro, Bad Grandpa.
Ashley Tisdale, Hudgens, Lucas Grabeel, Monique Coleman, and Corbin Bleu were all there to reminisce.
