I'm going to be home late today, mom.
Why? Is it the chemistry club's clean your beaker day?
No. It happens to be buff your bunsen burner day.
But I'm going to be late because I'm going out for the school play.
Oh, that's great, honey, but, um,
You don't "go out" for the theater.
You audition.
Go out, audition, what difference does it make?
No one ever picks him anyways.
I think he's got a great shot.
Acting runs in the family.
I mean, did I ever tell you that one time I got 10 curtain calls?
Yeah, yeah. 100 times.
Ooh. You're doing a play in school? Which one?
Well, I hope agamemnon by aeschylus.
You know, I've prepared an audition monologue in the original greek.
You mean the original geek?
Is it the scene where aegisthus and clytemnestra
Plot against agamemnon as he returns from troy?
Duh! That's, like, the best scene.
The best scene!
Guys, guess what?
I just found out what our school play is going to be.
High school musical!
Well, it's no agamemnon, but it's bouncy.

What role are you hoping to get?
Sharpay. You know, a lot of people tell me
I look just like the girl who plays her.
Really?
Uh-huh.
I don't see it.
Well, she has people who help her look better.
So...Who are you auditioning for?
Troy, which in agamemnon is the city ruled by king priam,
Besieged for 10 years by the greeks.
But in this play, he's a cool dude with great hair.
I never got a lead role when I went to our lady of perpetual sorrow.
Every single christmas, I was the wise man who brought myrrh.
What is myrrh, anyway?
I don't even know, ok?
The point is, I want to get get a part
Where I don't have to wear a beard.
Zach, what are you doing here?
I thought you didn't like theater.
Well, you see,
I bet bob my golf ball could break a blackboard.
And? I won!
So for my detention...
I either had to work backstage or clean toilets.
I flipped a coin.
So, maddie, what part are you trying out for?
Hello? Sharpay!
People say I look just like her.
Really? I don't see it.
I'm here. Hold the applause.
Hi, tony.
It's antonio.
I changed it after my triumphant turn
As king lear at peter's puppeteria.
Bet you had to pull some strings to get that part.
Funny, right?
Next!
That's me.
Break a leg. Thanks.
Literally.
I thought for my audition,
I'd do a song by gilbert and sullivan.
You know any songs from this century?
Or the previous one?
No.
Then sing.

I can't look. Cody, you do it.
Yes! Fantastic.
I'm sharpay?
No, I got the part of troy.
Who cares?
Yes! I'm sharpay's understudy.
Understudy?!
I can't believe it.
I wanted this part more than anything. How could I not get it?
Hey, guys. Great news.
I'm playing shar-pee.
Sharpay!
She got my part, and she can't even pronounce the name.
Who cares what her name is?
I'm just happy to be in musical high school.
Aargh!
I can't believe I'm an understudy. It's insulting.
I might as well be a lousy stagehand.
Heh heh.
No offense.
None taken.
I think this whole thing is lame!
I just just don't understand why london got my part.
I can sing, I can dance, I can act--
Can you work a power painter?
Mr. Blaine? Yeah.
Sorry to bother you, but I was just wondering
Why I didn't get the part of sharpay.
Um, look, maddie.
You're a great singer, but...
You're just too nice to play the role of sharpay.
I mean, she has got to be really mean.
I can be mean.
Sometimes, when I give sandwiches to the poor...
[whispers] I don't cut off the crusts.
Oh.
Ooh. You are motorcycle-gang material.
Oh, yeah. Grr!
Ok. London, antonio,
Let's take it from the top, please.
Top of what?
That means the beginning.
Of the song.
Oh. Heh heh. Amateur.
[gasps] mr. Blaine,
Antonio called me a bad word.
I'm sure he did, sweetheart. And music!

Good. I need a spring water.
Aw, come on. Spray, you stupid sprayer!
Maddie, can you hold this?
I'm going to find the instructions.
Great, great job, london.
Uh, but to be even greater,
You may want to consider singing lessons.
Well, if you think they'd help--
And dancing lessons.
How could she have gotten this part over me?
Don't you read teen theater magazine?
London's father is financing a broadway run
Of mr. Blaine's play floss.
This is so unfair.
I can't believe that london gets everything just because she's rich.
Oh, mr. Blaine...
My dressing-room mirror's broken.
It doesn't tell me how beautiful I am
Like the one I have at home does.
Uh, carl?
Go stand in london's dressing room
And tell her how beautiful she is.
That's it! Ok, no more miss nice gal.
I'm gonna tell london the truth
No matter how much it hurts her.
[sighs] I love the theater when it gets catty.
Ohh, maddie! Did you see?
I'm great! Ha! Great?
The only reason why you got that part
Was because your daddy bought it for you.
I can't believe it.
Yeah, well, it's the truth.
That is so sweet of him. I have to go thank him.
Unh!
Oh!
Oh. Can you show me how to do that?
Guys, I've told you
No playing basketball inside.
I'm not. I'm rehearsing.
Ok. No rehearsing basketball inside.
Mom, I'm a method actor.
And since I'm playing a jock, I've decided to live the role 24/7.
And even that isn't gonna be enough time.
Not true.
I think I'm getting athlete's foot.
Well, so far, that's the only athletic thing about you.
I've been practicing,
And I'm starting to look like a real b-baller.

Carey,
My drama teacher thinks I could use
A teensy-weensy bit of help with my singing.
Oh, I'd be happy to help. Thanks.
Do you know any good singers?
London, I happen to be a professional singer.
I sing in the lounge every night.
I thought that was karaoke and you hogged the mic.
Now, learning how to sing a song is easy
If you can handle a scale.
No problem.
You just step on it, then subtract 5 pounds.
Sweetie, no, not that kind of scale--
A musical scale. Here.

What was that terrible noise?
I was singing.
Not that noise.
The--the other noise that someone else was making
That drowned out your wonderful singing.
Nice save.
London, shall we get this dance lesson started?
I want you to get your money's worth.
How much is she paying you?
3 diamonds an hour.
I'm only getting 2. I got robbed.
Hey, are we gonna dance or what?
Yes, yes. Now, london, a good dancer...
Dances from his soul.
See? Like this.
Step, step, kick.
And shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy.
1, 2, boogie.
And shorty george,
Shorty george.
Fishtail, fishtail.
And crazy legs,
Crazy legs.
Jazz square, jazz square.
And big finish!
I can do that.
Shimmy, shimmy, kick, kick,
Crazy-- [crash]
You're a natural.
Your dancing shoe?
Ok, people, it's opening night.
We have to practice all of our numbers.
Ooh! Let's start with number 8.
It looks hard, but you just draw a snowman.
See?
I meant musical numbers.
Places!
Lower the gym set.
Got it. [squeaking]
That's a pirate ship.
Argh! Heh.
While we wait for captain schnook,
Let's do bop to the top.
And music.
[latin dance music playing]
Mucho gusto.
Ay, que fabulosa.
Ow! Stop!
[music ends] that is it.
I'm taking 5.
Ooh! Me, too. How much time do we have?
Antonio, antonio,
Come here-- please, please, please.
Just relax and breathe, ok? [breathes deeply]
I will not risk my professional reputation
Performing with that amateur.
I have talent scouts coming to see me,
And london is bopping me right to the bottom.
Wait, wait, wait.
You have talent scouts coming? Yes.
Ok. I think antonio's right.
As captain of this team,
I think we should bench london.
Students: Yeah. Definitely.
So, we all agree that london stinks
Like a dead fish on a city bus.
[students chuckle]
London: Is that what you think of me?
That I stink? [gasps]
And take the bus?
You know,
Why don't you just give maddie the role? She deserves it.
No, no, no, absolutely not.
There is no way that I am taking london out of this production.
Not if I want to see floss on broadway.
But, if I'm as rotten as everyone says--
Oh, you are. What you do should be classified
As a capital crime in all 50 states
And puerto rico.
I don't want to embarrass myself in front of daddy.
Um, daddy?
Yeah. He's coming to the show tonight.
D-daddy's coming?
T-to see you be good? Yeah.
[all gasp]
Anyone have any smelling salts?
Well, I got an old gym sock in my locker.
I'm ok. I'm ok.
So, what are we gonna do?
That's--that's a good question. Um...
I got it.
We'll do singing in the rain.
We have to learn a whole new musical? I barely know this one.
We'll do what they did in the movie singing in the rain.
You'll lip-sync... While maddie
Is behind the curtain doing the actual singing.
That's a brilliant idea.
What's so brilliant about it?
I do all the work, and you get all the credit?
Yeah, that's the brilliant part.
Look, I'm sick of being nice.
Look where it's gotten me. I won't do it.
Students: Come on, maddie. Do it.
Maddie, please?
Look, I know you really deserve this part.
But daddy has never been to a single one of my school performances.
In kindergarten, when I played a raindrop in the itsy bitsy spider,
I looked down into the audience
Where all the other raindrops' daddies were.
And he wasn't there. He sent the butler instead,
And not even the good one.
You had a bad butler?
Everyone does. Ask around.
What? What?
Come on, maddie. Pretty please
With caviar on top?
Students: Please? Come on.
Ok, ok, fine.
But I'm not just doing it for you.
I'm doing it for all my fellow actors who never caught a break
In this topsy-turvy world we call show--
Save your voice. I want to sound good.
It's going just like I wrote it. Perfect.
Hey! Good job, cody.
You know, you even kinda look like zac efron.
And I don't look like ashley tisdale?
You people are all crazy!
What key?
We had our rehearsal pianist do an arrangement.
Pblffft. Pblffft. Pblffft.
Mr. Tipton. Yes, moseby?
When you see london's dancing,
It may look a bit rough and unrehearsed.
Well, that's just the style these days.
Bad singing-- that's also the style.
Or really great singing.
I taught her everything she knows, sir.
I taught her crazy legs, sir.
I am so proud of you.
Now tell me. Does your father look happy?
Yep. I got a thumbs-up from daddy and his bodyguards.
Oh, joy. It's working.
You know, maddie is doing all the work.
Nuh-uh. Moving your lips is work.
No, maddie should probably--
Zip it, mister. Not another word,
Or I'm putting you on that pirate ship.
Ok, maddie. Are we ready to bop to the top?
'cause remember, we're all in this together.
Ok, you're pushing it to the limit.
Sorry.
