High school musical 3: senior year || inspirations and visual references

We’re aspiring to do the big broadway musical numbers, big movie musical numbers, to do them like the great choreographers and directors: Gene Kelly, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins and Michael Kidd - Kenny Ortega, director

He [Ortega] really wanted to reintroduce kids to everything about musical film and musical theatre. We all agreed that if we’re going to introduce kids to the song and the dance of the classic Hollywood and Broadway period, why not try to introduce them to a bit of the stagecraft of that time as well?“ - Mark Hofeling, production designer

You should put the paragraph , the guy have been working in Hollywood since 2002 and people still say he got no talent, he would have not lasted this long if he was “talentless”.

warning: long paragraph.

ps im not bias rn. this is are my unfiltered thoughts when i watch his films because i always take myself out of the context this is zac efron. but more this is an actor trying to succeed in playing his roles.

the fact zac was in theatre during his school days proved he was really in it for acting since the beginning. he was known as the theatre dork. from i learned about acting, you really have to put yourself out there and have no fear about expressing yourself. that’s what zac did and learned. he went to star in cw shows tho. he literally went to serious acting and got roles like a patient getting shot. a kid who had daddy issues. at that young age, he was already trained and used to acting in serious roles. you get me?

in hsm. he was still new to disney. and the plot was in a disney standard. meaning it wasn’t deep. yet he manages to put into troy’s character. that’s why troy is like a meme now. zac’s serious acting mixed with a disney musical isn’t balanced out. because disney doesn’t put more meaning into their films like cw or netflix. the way zac portrayed troy was amazing. he put so much emotion and thought onto troy. he knew troy was so much more than a basketball captain.

esp in hsm3. he outshined everyone. no kidding. troy’s character was being showed so he has to make a transition of hsm troy to hsm 3 troy. where he is gonna portray a vulnerable phase for troy. his voice in the songs were raw and emotional. right here right now. scream. can i have this dance. even the boys are back. you could identify what troy was feeling because he didn’t hold back. listen closely to his songs in hsm 3 and you see why i cried.

because no offence. he was a better actor than the rest of the cast. vanessa was a close second (that’s for a different reason). mainly because he had a lot of acting experience than ashley and the rest.

in 17 again. he really got his acting chops. the scene where mike tells scarlet about his letter at court made me emotional. it was the first time i saw him cry. and he really did a great job because it wasn’t cringey nor was it too much.

in csc. he really broke me. i can see why vanessa was proud of him. the way he played charlie was something that should’ve taken his disney image off him completely. esp that fight scene at the bar. like pls yes NDJSJ his rage was god tier.

but in EWSEV was like *drop dead*. he really did an amazing job at portraying ted. he almost convinced me his character was really innocent. which was his intention because ted used his charms to prove he was innocent. and zac should’ve got an oscar for it but it was a netflix film so rip.

i could say more about his other films like TGS, baywatch, TLO, the paperboy, at any price. but i feel like the ones i mentioned above really showed his acting range.

which is why he wanted to stay away from musicals for a while. he wanted to be treated as a serious actor. yet his looks and hsm didnt do any good to him.

in short he always understands the assignment.

👀 This one show host - it’s on YT (but, has to be taken with a grain of salt though cause sometimes people exaggerate) said ‘The Greatest Beer Run’ script is/was “so good”, “wild” and “adventure” and the friendship theme of the story is good too. She read the script back then cause her agent got her the audition for Zac’s mom in the film. Hopefully she’s right in her description.

They’re also releasing it during the Fall … Which is usually when a lot of award suitor films come out… IIRC

Peter won an Oscar so he does have a bit sway, as long as the script is really that gravitating, it sounds like it has high chances.

Nonetheless the summary description has interested me for awhile, so I’ll be interested whether it gets any Noms or not.

Hyppppedddd!
