In a post by Pop Crave, a photo of "High School Musical" stars Vanessa Hudgens, Monique Coleman, and Olesya Rulin emerged online.

Hudgens played the role of Gabriella Montez, a bright transferee at East High. Coleman played Taylor McKessie, the smart student body president who became best friends with Montez during the trilogy. Rulin, on the other hand, played pianist turned student Kelsy Nielsen, who later on became instrumental in the mounting of the final musical on the third movie.
