High School Musical took over the world in 2006, when the amazing story of jock Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and academic Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) falling in love — and singing their hearts out — landed on the Disney Channel. Fans instantly connected with Troy and Gabriella, whose different backgrounds were put to the test when they both decided to audition for their school musical.
Despite threats to their happiness, Troy and Gabriella, and all of their friends (and frenemies) danced it out for three movies. In the 20 years since High School Musical premiered, the stars have changed so much.
We’ve rounded up the biggest stars of the trilogy to give you an update on where they are now, 20 years after the movie’s release.
