Line 6:
Basically it is a [[The Musical|Musical]] set in a [[High School]] about the people trying out for their [[Captain Obvious|High School Musical]] and School Teams. With a [[Boy Meets Girl]] plot and an [[Alpha Bitch|Alpha Bitchy]] antagonist. [[Status Quo Is God|Lather, rinse]] and repeat.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Sharpay suffers from this, having apparently seen the error of her ways at the end of the first film, only to become nasty again at the beginning of the sequel. Repeat for the second and third films.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Sharpay was undoubtedly intended to be unsympathetic, due to the target audience. She comes across as more of a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] due to the way [[Ashley Tisdale]] portrays her, to the point where she became noticeably more humanized in the third film. She even got her own spinoff movie, ''Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure'', where she went from [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] to [[Fallen Princess]].
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: "Look at this! That Gabriella girl just dumped her lunch on me! On purpose! It's all part of their plan to ruin our musical. And Troy and his basketball robots are obviously behind it! Why do you think they auditioned? After all the work you've put into this show... it just doesn't seem right!"
* [[It Is Pronounced Tro PAY]]: Ms Darbus natters on about the upcoming "musi''cale''".

** Also "Fabulous" from the second film.
* [[Kangaroo Court]]: A humorous version is used to separate the various social groups.
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* [[The Musical]]... again, obviously.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Gabriella.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Chad and Taylor's [[Zany Scheme]] to con Troy into confessing he doesn't care about the callbacks for the musical, and forcing Gabriella to watch while he does so. Their intent, ostensibly, is to get Troy to focus on the upcoming basketball game, Gabby on the scholastic competition. What ensues is nearly the termination of the [[One True Pairing]].
* [[Oh God With the Troping]]: Jack Scott in the stage version. "A skaterdude was even seen mixing with the string section. Oh, the humanity... THE HUMANITY!"
* [[Pair the Spares]]: Chaylor, Ryelsi, Zekepay, need I go on? Also takes place in [[Fan Preferred Pairing]] territory, where Troypay fans ship Gabriella with Ryan.
Line 89 ⟶ 88:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Gabriella, Kelsi.
* [[Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy]]: And he actually likes [[Hollywood Nerd|her]] back.
