‘High School Musical’ Cast Then & Now: Photos of the Stars’ Transformations

With the final season of ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ debuting it’s final season on August 9, 2023, check out photos of the original stars from then & now!

‘High School Musical‘ took over the world in 2006, when the amazing story of a jock (Zac Efron) and a nerd (Vanessa Hudgens) falling in love — and singing their hearts out — landed on the Disney Channel. Fans instantly connected with Troy and Gabriella, whose different backgrounds were put to the test when they both decided to audition for their school musical.

Despite threats to their happiness, Troy and Gabriella, and all of their friends (and frenemies) danced it out for three movies. In the 13 years since High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiered, the stars have changed so much.

We’ve rounded up the biggest stars of the trilogy to give you an update on where they are now, 15 years after the movie’s release.
