Big news for the tween set (and some of you grown-ups, too... we don't judge)! Ashley Tisdale will return to Disney, reprising her "High School Musical" role of divalicious Sharpay Evans in her very own movie. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron may have graduated from the series, but Tisdale is both starring in and executive producing "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure," which follows the hilarious blonde on her quest to conquer New York City and make it to the Broadway Stage.
In a statement, Disney said: "In Sharpay, Ashley Tisdale brought to life one of the most memorable comedic characters we've seen in years. This movie captures the absolutely perfect next chapter in Sharpay's life, as she tries to cultivate the humanity buried, deep, deep within her -- a challenging and hilarious endeavor."
The TV movie, which will begin production this summer, is slated to premiere on The Disney Channel in 2011.

Are you serious? Woaaaah that just made my day!!! :)
I love it i think it will be great
Could be good... Ashley Tisdale does do comedy pretty well. Although it's a good idea to go TV movie instead of having a new franchise start out in theatres and then maybe not get the numbers.
Sharpey was the best part of the HSM series so this is great.
Good morning, this was a really top quality blog. I'd like to write like this also - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I Am lazy and never seem to get something done.
she should leave....shes too old for a disney gal......duhhhh.....she concentrate being a professional hollywood star...i mean she should level up....like vanessa hudgens.... she plays many roles..." the best part of being a star is to play many roles"....
Ashley Tisdale is my fave and i glad to hear that will be playing Sharpay again but i wouldn,t have been heart broken if she didn,t cause i get that she trying to move on and i bet this movie gonna be funny.
