In celebration of the February 17th release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year on DVD and Blu-ray, we’ve been given some of the hottest secrets from the set of the movie!! Read some of the inside scoop from behind-the-scenes of the film:
HOME SWEET HOME!
Lucas Grabeel was the only cast member to rent an apartment in Salt Lake City, where the film was shot. The rest of the cast were split between the city’s Little America Hotel and the swankier Grand America, where Zanessa, Ashley and Chris Warren Jr put up their feet. Nice!
EXTRA, EXTRA!
What extras are in store for fans on the HSM3 DVD? “There’s a lot going on there,” admits director Kenny Ortega. “There is a musical reprise for Troy and Gabriella, as well as a couple of deleted scenes that have been added back to the movie. One big deleted scene was taken out because we had to shorten the film for the movie theatre – but there are other scenes we’ve added just for fun.”
FOOTIE FEVER
The film’s finale graduation scene was shot on the football field at East High School in Salt Lake City. It’s a huge song and dance number featuring the entire cast. “We really pushed the singing and dancing,” admits Zac. “It’s one of the stand-out moments of the movie.”
FASHION FAUX PAS!
When the cameras weren’t rolling, some of the cast weren’t as glamorous or as fashion-forward as their characters. Lucas Grabeel was spotted wandering around the set in brown sandals and black socks, while Ashley Tisdale plodded around in a pair of old slippers!
FOOD FIGHT!
What did the gang get up to when the cameras stopped rolling? “We’d have lots of fun,” admits KayCee Stroh. “There was a really cool night where Corbin, Chris (Warren Jr, who plays Zeke Baylor), Ryne (Sanborn, who plays Jason Cross) and I went out to eat after work, which was really late. The cast of High School Musical literally ended up in a fast food restaurant having a food fight in the middle of the night! Who won? I would have to say Chris. He always goes that little bit further than everyone else!”
