Ashley Tisdale stole the show as Sharpay Evans in Disney’s beloved High School Musical series. The actor and musician perfectly embodied the spoiled but talented high school student who wanted everything to be fabulous and wouldn’t let anyone get in the way of her success.
However, Tisdale recently revealed that she has no interest in reprising the iconic role. She explained her reasoning in an interview with ET. “I just feel like I wouldn’t be able to do it again and do it justice,” she said.
“You know what I’m saying? I think at that point I was very oblivious to myself and my surroundings, and I feel like that’s a big part of Sharpay. She just isn’t really conscious, and as I’ve grown and become more aware, I think it’s just something that wouldn’t be the same, ”Tisdale added.
Tisdale shared similar thoughts on the character’s role in a 2019 conversation with Hollywood Life. “I think she was perfect for the time of my life and that’s why I even got to play her,” said the “He Said She Said” singer. She added that she had “grown so much as a person” that it would be difficult to get back into Sharpay’s state of mind.
There’s another reason Tisdale isn’t willing to revisit Sharpay. She told ET that she would be nervous to risk damaging the legacy of the original saga. “It’s so good, and it’s like, for me, I would hate to spoil something that’s perfect for this moment, and yeah, I don’t think I could go back to it,” she added.
Considering how difficult it is to successfully wake up, this is quite understandable.
So while Sharpay is a fair game for the casual Instagram meme, Tisdale isn’t ready to don any of the character’s over-the-top costumes again.
Earlier this year, Tisdale revealed that she wasn’t even particularly interested in watching herself on the show. She told People that she had only recently watched part of one of the HSM movies with her six-year-old husband, Christopher French.
“I’m not someone who likes to watch me,” the humble star explained. This means she’s unlikely to sit down for an HSM movie night with her four-month-old daughter Jupiter in the future.
While Tisdale isn’t set to play Sharpay again, fans of the show can still watch the original films on Disney +. They can also check out High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which stars Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.
There’s also some sort of mini-HSM reunion on the horizon. Monique Coleman and Corbin Bleu have revealed they will star together in a Lifetime Christmas movie called A Christmas Dance Reunion later this year. They played Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth (best friends of Vanessa Hudgen’s Gabriella Montez and Zac Efron’s Troy Bolton) respectively in the Disney series.
