“Wow, I didn’t think about that,” Efron, who was promoting his upcoming movie Ricky Stanicky, said. “That’s really cool. Shout out to all the High School Musical fans.” The three High School Musical films follow a blending of worlds at the fictional East High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as Efron and Hudgens’ characters contend with their friends from the basketball and theater world’s disapproval of their choice to bridge the gap between the court and the stage.
“I love the whole Travis, Taylor thing. Man, I’m so happy for them,” Efron added to the outlet. “They’re two of the best people in the world. How can you not be stoked?”
