" Not her ask you to fiddle it girl I ’d be asking you to SING it . "
Everyone remembers their first time watching Sharpay Evans bop to the top on the East High stage, and for this youngHigh School Musicalfan, that pivotal life experience is hitting a lot closer to home.
Having played Sharpay inHSM, Maddie inThe Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Candace inPhineas and Ferb,Ashley Tisdaleis nothing short of aDisneylegend. And even after all these years, it sounds like her fanbase is continuing to grow.
For context, Ashley shares two daughters with her husband, Christopher French, and in a newTikTok, she revealed that their oldest girl, four-year-old Jupiter, has developed a “sweet” but rather intense obsession with all three of theHSMmovies, which — not to make you feel old — came out in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
As per Jupiter’s request, Ashley said they’ve been rewatching “all three movies” and blasting the soundtrack on a regular basis. “She will not stop listening to the music,” she said, laughing. “It’s playing in the house right now. When I’m on walks with her, she asks for me to play it, when I’m in the car, she asks for me to play it. Specifically,High School Musical 2.”
Hilariously, Jupiter’s favorite song from the franchise is apparently “Humuhumunukunukuapua’a” fromHigh School Musical 2, which, as true experts will know, is one of the lesser-known tracks, because it was actually a deleted scene. “I hate that song,” Ashley joked.
I don’t know about you, but if my mom starred in the most iconic movie musicals ever made (argue with yourself), I’d sure want the world to know about it — and it sounds like Jupiter shares the same view. “She screams out in public, ‘I’m Sharpay’s baby!’” Ashley said, cringing at herself. “Like I can’t. I just feel so embarrassed when I’m walking into a store, and she’s like, ‘We’re all in this together,’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’”
I’m also obsessed with the sheer number of people who have pointed out that Jupiter should consider asking her mom to do some live performances at home. If it were me, I’d be demanding that she get Lucas Grabeel over to recreate the entire “I Want It All” performance fromHSM3. Better yet, why don’t you call Zac Efron and get him to sing “Bet On It” in the backyard?
