Gabriella Montez: Brainy and beautiful, Gabriella broke out of her "math geek" mold in the first High School Musical movie when she tried out for the high school musical with basketball star Troy Bolton and taught the other kids at school that it is important to follow your dreams and celebrate the different talents that each person has. In High School Musical 2, she may have to fight for her man, because Sharpay is determined to make him hers.
In High School Musical 2, the sequel to Disney Channel's pop culture phenomenon High School Musical, school is out for the summer, and Troy (Zac Efron), Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens), and their friends all get a job at a posh country club - a club founded by Sharpay's grandfather. The competition is on when Sharpay goes after Troy and the students take their performances to new heights in preparation for the club's annual mid-summer night musical production.
