Here are some fun facts about Zac Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens and the movie High School Musical!

The extras used in the Start of Something New scene do not appear again anywhere in the movie!

The snowflakes falling outside the lodge were actually flakes of potato!

When we first meet Chad he is wearing 3 watches! This is because he was given 3 to choose from, but wanted them all!

The school in which High School Musical is filmed actually have red and white as their school colours! (Which came in very handy when producing the sets!)

Lucas Grabeel learnt all the moves to Getcha Head in the Game, even though he wasn't in the scene! It was his favourite dance!

Bart Johnson, who played Coach Bolton, watched basketball movies every day in order to prepare for his role.

A song and dance which was never written or produced, (because the movie would have been too long!), was a battle scene between Ms Dalton and Coach Bolton!
