All about Sharpay Evens

High School Musical


Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) is the antagonist of High School Musical. She is an arrogant person who always wants her way. She has a domineering personality and likes to be in control even of her twin brother Ryan. She auditions with him for the winter school musical against Troy and Gabriella. When she discovers that Troy and Gabriella have a callback, she changes the callback date in order to make sure that Troy and Gabriella fail to get the leads. The plan however fails with the aid of Taylor and Chad. Sharpay ends up being the understudy for Gabriella, and in the end, wishes Gabriella good luck by telling her to break a leg. Chad, at one point, calls Sharpay and Ryan "show dogs"; the Shar Pei, a homophone of Sharpay, is a kind of dog. She also refers to famous Broadway songwriter Stephen Sondheim by calling Kelsi "my sawed-off Sondheim". Despite her resentment of Troy and Gabriella taking the lead from her in the school musical, she seems to have a small crush or interest in Troy, and feels somewhat jealous of Gabriella. It should also be noted that at the end of High School Musical, she seems to at least get along with Troy and Gabriella. Yet, in High School Musical 2, she reverts to hating Gabriella, and develops an interest for Troy.
