OK, finally, after three years of what can only be described as horror with glitter and a great big cash-in extravaganza for Disney, High School Musical as we know it is coming to an end.
And I will admit, in Welshpool cinema they were showing previews of the new movie due to be showing in cinemas soon - and I couldn't contain my roars of laughter at some of the scenes they were showing on the screen.
But will those adorable teens still have work within the coming years? Or will Zac Efron endure and the others bomb into obscurity, only to resurface in about 20 years time for some reunion show, where Efron is living the high life and still trying to pass himself off as a straight guy when he's as camp as a row of tents?
It's a question that can only be answered in the Beer Garden, where this week we're paying tribute to the many brave Banks we've lost this year. God bless all who saved in them...!

Hopefully they will all fall into obscurity, and their legend will cease being told.
FOREVER.

I think they'll all be type casts forever. They will never get away from their High school musical tag so my answer is we probobly won't see them again in anything. We're more likley to see Mark Hamil make an acting comeback then any of these guys.

Hopefully, the evil Disney Empire won't make any more sequels, and the cast will fade away. But Vanessa Anne Hudgens could have a future at the pole

I sincerely hope the entire godawful franchise fades into obscurity sooner or later.
They will probably be typecast in the long run, but I don't think they'll be out of work for a few years yet. One suspects their fanbase is too vast and inane for that happen just yet. And if one or two of them work hard enough and reinvent themselves, they'll probably be able to salvage their acting careers.
Out of curiosity, am I the only person who thinks Zac Efron sounds like an oil tanker? A shipwrecked one, which managed to wreck the entire fragile ecosystem of the Swiss coastline.

I don't think they'll be working after "High School Musical". I hate the franchise myself, because it gives viewers a rather inaccurate view of what high school is like. Unfortunately, I hear that a fourth movie may be in the works.

I think a spoof is in order.
TO THE TUNE OF "TOBY"
High School Musical is really very lame, There's a gay actor, Zac Efron is his name. He's blonde and flamboyant, And really sort of queer, It's safe to bet he'll get AIDS next year.
Disney, oh Disney, Why have you sunk so low? The world's much nicer, When you stick with Quasi Mo-do, Disney, oh Disney, We're pleading, begging of you, Prep girls and homos, What has become of you?
I'd continue, but I kind of pushed it already.

Personally, I'd rather see the entire franchise fade into the annals of time, never to re-surface again. Everyone sounds so god-awful and I sincerely hope the whole entire franchise will burn in the depths of... well, you know what I'm talking about.
Here's an interesting (and sad) fact: My sister's old high school did 'High School Musical' as their Spring Musical in 2006. Personally, if I had gone to her High School and learned that they were doing this play in the Drama Club, I would've just up and quit right there to preserve my dignity.

Well since a certain actress has already had experience with exposing herself, I chose the obvious answer.

The two main characters are likely to get someother work elsewhere, one's a film actor the other a porn star and singer.
Unfortunatly it'll never end.

9 months. That's all I give them...after that, late-night replays on Disney Channel.

I actually voted for "they'll become huge stars in their own right." Not that I believe that'll happen, I just wanted to look like I'm being positive.
Well, let's be honest, the life of teen heart-throbs is ipso facto limited. After a while, you stop being cute and the fans get bored with fantasising. You get a few straight-to-DVD gigs, some low-budget comedies, then it's off to reality TV where you square off against a load of other celebrities who just won't die. If you're female, this is usually the point where you "someone steals" a sex tape of you and it gets released "without your knowledge".
I'm just bitter because they're all younger than me.

The DVDs will be used by Chinese Dictators and the CIA as a form of torture...

I just saw one of the cast of HSM in the paper as a waxwork model near Madam Tussards and it made me ask this
WHY?

So what's worse, HSM or the RickRoll?

There's a big difference between them though - people don't usually choose to be RickRoll'd. Yet some will willing subject themselves to this HSM tat, buying the regular, kareoke and goodness knows how many other versions of the DVDs that are available. Perhaps a better question would be, which is worse - HSM, Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers? I keep hearing the name of latter group everywhere, but have thankfully manage to avoid their music thus far.

The former is...don't get me started, she looks awful...and the latter can't come up with any original music, all I've heard them do is Americanise one of Busted's song and turn "Kids in America" to "Kids of The Future" (for Meet The Robinsons), the only time I've known them to come up with something original is Camp Rock and even then I could be mistaken. I actually found the first High School Musical movie to be enjoyable (there I admitted it). As for being Rickrolled, I find it very annoying now. Give me a false link that really leads to a High School Musical song over that Rickroll guy anyday.

I hope they all die. Except for Hudgens, her semi-attractiveness is her only redeeming quality. For all we know, though, the BJs are today's Duran Duran/Police/New Kids on the Block, etc. They could *shudders* become classics 20 or so years from now.
