The class of ‘High School Musical’: Where are they now?

Ashley Tisdale played Sharpay Evans, co-president of the drama club at East High School (the school in “High School Musical”) with her twin brother and was the closest thing the trio of films had to a villain. In real life, Tisdale maintains an ongoing musical career (her second album, “Guilty Pleasure,” debuted at 12 on the Billboard charts in 2009) and acting career. She recently signed on as the costar of the CW drama series “Hellcats,” which premieres in September.  (Jason Kempin / Getty Images)

Lucas Grabeel played the twin brother of Sharpay, Ryan Evans. Grabeel (seen here in the 2009 Freud Playhouse production of “The Fantastiks”) is set to star alongside David Hasselhoff in “The Legend of the Dancing Ninja,” an action comedy film to be released this year. Through his production company, 14341 Productions, Grabeel oversees many projects, including “Regarding Beauregard,” a TV pilot that marked his directing debut.  (Christine Cotter / Los Angeles Times)

Corbin Bleu played Chad Danforth, Troy’s best friend and one of the school’s basketball stars. In his free time, Bleu does a lot of volunteer work with organizations such as Starlight Children’s Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Recently he spent time with Efron in New York and, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, reportedly dropped big bucks on vodka and strippers the night before “Charlie St. Cloud‘s” premiere. He also has released two pop-R&B albums and currently stars in the Broadway production of “In the Heights.”  (Peter Kramer / Associated Press)
