Ashley Tisdale to reprise her role as Sharpay in HSM spinoff
Quote:
Everyone’s favorite love-to-hate character, Sharpay Evans, is coming back!
Ashley Tisdale has inked a deal with with Disney to reprise her role as Sharpay in Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.
The DCOM’s production will begin this summer for a 2011 premiere. Ashley will also exec produce the movie with HSM alums Barry Rosenbush and Bill Borden. The flick was written by Robert Horn.
Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventures follows the thespian who is about to meet her destiny on Broadway, and luckily, theater lighting highlights her hair and skin tone beautifully. Her big break comes after a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, and now there’s not a marquee big enough or lights bright enough to contain the glorious fame she plans on having. Sharpay and Boi head to New York, but theatre is a dog eat dog world, and nothing turns out as Sharpay expects, especially when she meets her match in a rather daunting Broadway starlet.
The Great White Way is all Sharpay’s ever dreamed of, especially since she already has everything else. Life in the big city is a shock, but there’s an even bigger bombshell when Sharpay finally realizes the Broadway role is really for Boi, not her. Putting her disappointment aside, she sets out to make Boi the most fabulous canine star to hit the stage, with the hope that his fame will become her fame (after all, she is his entourage and she holds the leash). Before long, Sharpay makes a new friend in a student filmmaker, Callem, who finds her to be a fascinating subject. Meanwhile, Boi finds puppy love on a Big Apple adventure of his own.

When I saw "Ashley Tisdale to reprise…" in the title I just knew!
I don't really care though, but I mean I thought she was leaving HSM behind.

well this sucks. Although Sharpay was arguably the most interesting and entertaining of the HSM series, this is too reminiscent of the "Joey" syndrome. I would not have been too annoyed by this if this was a feature film, but a DCOM movie???? ugh...... I still gotta support though...

Take in mind it could be an early April 1st joke.. (It probably not, but it might be..)
Anyway,
I'm sorry to say that, and please don;t kill me, I like the script.. And I got really exited for it.
But the best part id that it's probably going to help her music career!

Are you really surprised?
If you saw HSM3 then you saw how they left the role open for her.

i dont think it's that's bad. I surely want she to take more mature roles but this is definitely putting her in the spotlight again and might help her music career as well.

She need to take notes from Danielle Panabaker...she's making a name for herself slowly but surely also Shia Lebouf. I thought she was going their route.

I also kinda feel like she did this to help her music career so she could get the tweens to buy her records again since 'Guilty Pleasure' flopped but if she really wanted to keep her tween fanbase she should've just stayed on Suite Life.
What she fails to understand is all the former HSM lovers have either grown up or moved on to Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato which is why she should aim for more mature rolls. By the time this airs on Disney Channel Ashley will be 26 years old :-/

I think she might have had to take on the role because she is executive producing it.
But now that I am thinking of it, I don' think this will kill her career or anything that drastic. If she performs well in it, then I am sure she will bounce back and hopefully garner more attention. I just hope she landed a thriller/action/horror/ drama sometime by the end of this year so that it will help balance it out. I just hope she will be wearing a wig for this.

Not necessarily, Reese Witherspoon executive produced Legally Blonde 3 but she didn't star in it.
A cameo is more than enough which is what Ashley should do instead. This is gonna look like a major step back especially with her CW show coming on before this.
I wish her the best though...

Ashley...
Come on girl, I was rooting for you. This is like 2 steps back. Produce it and do a cameo at most, but you don't star in it in a DCOM. Most kids/tweens (with the exception of a few teens/adults) that liked the HSM series have moved on to Miley, Demi, and Selena.

that was because that film was not based off her character.
But I do see your points. I am just trying to find the positive out of what I do feel is unnecessary project. I hope she knows what she is doing....

^But Reese still produced it. She had control over the movie. If Reese wanted to star in it, she would have starred in it.
Ashley still could have produced something without actually starring in the movie though. A spinoff of the Evans family. Maybe Sharpay has some crazy cousins or something. Sharpay could have mentored them or something. She could be a "Mrs. Darbus" type of character. In the movie with with a presence but she wouldn't have the movie revolving around her.
I'm thinking this movie is replacing HSM4.
I'm sure she is getting a good paycheck for the movie and I'll probably watch it because I like Sharpay. I'm happy that she is at least producing it though. She just needs to move on to more adult projects and then produce projects that she doesn't star in for little kids since she has worked in that demo for a while though her work on Disney.

Oh I do agree with what your saying, I really don't want ashley to be in this. But I do feel that ashley is thinking about her production company when it comes to this project. Disney would probably have accepted this if they actually brought back one of the stars rather than have completely new people. My only concern is as you point out, this does not help her acting career at all, unless she does a phenomenal job in it. She needs to go and book a more mature role and film it sometime in the end of the year. Hopefully it all works out for her, and although I do not agree with this, I will continue to support her.

I'm sorry but this is the ****ing worst move she could have ever done to her career.
I love her so much but I don't see how she's going to succeed in the entertainment industry if she keeps doing stuffs like this. 
I thought she said she wanted to become more mature and move past the Disney image aka Sharpay?!
I'm truly disappointed but I knew it would happen. 
I think I'm kinda done......like I give up.
