Twenty years after High School Musical introduced the start of something new to viewers around the world, we're still all in this together — cast included.
Several members of the cast of HSM reunited at a special event at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, this week to honor the 20th anniversary of the film, which originally aired on Disney Channel on January 20, 2006, per People. Ashley Tisdale French and Lucas Grabeel, who starred as siblings Sharpay and Ryan Evans across the three films in the franchise, even proved they can still bop to the top with the best of them.
In a video shared to Tisdale's TikTok, the on-screen brother-sister duo recreated an iconic scene from the original film, going through trilling vocal warm-ups complete with exaggerated hand movements and a successful trust fall.
Tisdale continued to reminisce about her HSM days in another video where she "dug into [her] storage unit to revisit Sharpay's iconic looks," strutting along a hallway in costumes like the sequined blue ruffled dress she wore while singing "Bop to the Top" in the movie.
"You can take the girl out of East High... but you can't take Sharpay out of the girl," she wrote over the clip.
She further reflected on the massive success of the film and its legacy in a heartfelt post on Instagram, also sharing behind-the-scenes photos from set with fellow cast members like Grabeel, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Corbin Bleu and director Kenny Ortega.
"20 years ago we had no idea what this would into. I'm so grateful for what this movie has given me, and for the fans who made it what it is. To be part of something this iconic, that still has new fans discovering it today, is truly wild. It keeps growing in ways I never imagined. I love you, Sharpay. And let me just say... we're still looking fabulous!"
