The former couple’s audition featured Vanessa reciting the film's famous “kindergarten” lines. In the clip, she tellsZac, ““Remember in kindergarten, how you’d meet a kid and know absolutelynothing about them and then 10 seconds later, you’re playing like you’re bestfriends, because you didn’t have to be anything but yourself?” Singing with youfelt like that.”
Also shown in the reel are auditionsbetween cast members Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel, in addition to MoniqueColeman and Corbin Bleu.
Sadly the film’s hero Troy Boltona.k.a. Zac Efron could not make the taped reunion, but he did send his love to his former co-stars via avideo message, apologizing for not being there.
