Photos: Ashley Tisdale’s ‘Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure’ Release Party
Ashley Tisdale held a VIP reception to celebrate the Disney Blu-ray/DVD release of Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, available to own on April 19, at the SoHo House in West Hollywood. Among the many guests were High School Musical veterans Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Lucas Grabeel, Olesya Rulin and KayCee Stroh as well as co-stars from the new film such as Austin Butler, Cameron Goodman, Alec Mapa, Jack Plotnick and Robert Curtis Brown.
Walt Disney Studios Entertainment has provided us with photos from the event, which you’ll find in our gallery below.
Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure is a hilarious fish-out-of-water tale about a small town Diva and her dog’s mis-adventures in New York City! After a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, Sharpay Evans (AshleyTisdale) sets off for the bright lights of NYC, convinced instant fame and fortune are in the bag (designer, that is). But the theatre is a dog-eat-dog world, as she and Boi discover when they encounter the devious owner of a pampered Pooch named “Countess” and a scheming Broadway starlet who will do anything to crush the competition. Fortunately, Sharpay also meets Peyton (Austin Butler), a handsome student filmmaker who finds Sharpay nearly as fascinating as she finds herself.
In addition, Walt Disney Studios has also offered this extended sneak peek at the film:
