-AUDITORIUM
{Ryan and Sharpay finish their song. The audience applauds. They take a bow}
Sharpay: (to a member of the audience) Oh, hi! Call me.
{Ryan takes off his fedora and throws it into the audience. Miss Darbus walks onto the stage flanked by her assistant and Kelsi}
Miss Darbus: Do you see why we love the theater, people? Well done. Ah, Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez. (silence) Troy? Gabriella?
Kelsi: (frantically) They'll be here.
Miss Darbus: The theater, as I have often pointed out, waits for no one. I'm sorry.
{Kelsi makes a face and runs off the stage}
Miss Darbus: Well, we are done here. Congratulations to all. The cast list will be posted.
{Troy and Gabriella have arrived}
Troy: Wait! Miss Darbus, wait! We're ready, we can sing.
Miss Darbus: I called your names, twice.
Gabriella: Miss Darbus, please! Please!
Miss Darbus: Rules are rules!
{As the small audience gets up to leave, the rest of the school pours into the auditorium}
Sharpay: (to Miss Darbus, giddy at the thought of performing in front of so many) We'll be happy to do it again for our fellow students, Miss Darbus.
Miss Darbus: (searching for an excuse) I don't know what's going on here, but in any event, it's far too late and we have not got a pianist.
Ryan: Well, that's show biz.
Troy: We'll sing without a piano.
Kelsi: (running up behind Troy) Oh, no, you won't. Pianist here, Miss Darbus.
Sharpay: (threateningly) You really don't wanna do that.
Kelsi: (unafraid) Oh, yes, I really do. Ready on stage.
{A look of shock fills Sharpay's face as Kelsi stands up to her}
Sam:Yeah, tell her, Kelsi!
Miss Darbus: (to Sharpay) Now that's show biz.
Cat:(to Gabriella) You guys got this Gabriella!
{Sharpay can't believe what just happened. She runs off stage. Troy hands Gabriella a microphone. Troy nods to Kelsi who begins playing the intro to Breaking Free. However Gabriella is frozen. Troy sees this and motions for Kelsi to stop.}
Gabriella: (to Troy) I can't do it, Troy, not with all those people staring at me.
{Gabriella tries to walk away but Troy grabs her arm}
Troy: (softly) Hey, hey, look at me, look at me, right at me. Right at me. It'll be like the first time we sang together. Remember? Like kindergarten.
{Troy once again motions for Kelsi to start playing. This time the backdrop comes down}
🎶Breaking Free🎶
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
We're breakin' free
[Gabriella:]
We're soarin'
[Troy:]
Flyin'
[Both:]
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
[Troy:]
If we're trying
[Both:]
Yeah, we're breaking free
[Troy:]
Oh, we're breakin' free
[Gabriella:]
Ohhhh
[Troy:]
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
[Gabriella:]
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
[Troy:]
Very souls, ohhh
[Both:]
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So everyone can see us
We're breakin' free
[Gabriella:]
We're soarin'
[Troy:]
Flyin'
[Both:]
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
[Troy:]
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
[Gabriella:]
Ohhhh runnin'
[Troy:]
Climbin'
To get to that place
[Both:]
To be all that we can be
[Troy:]
Now's the time
[Both:]
So we're breaking free
[Troy:]
We're breaking free
[Gabriella:]
Ohhh, yeah
More than hope
More than faith
[Gabriella:]
This is true
This is fate
And together
We see it comin'
[Troy:]
More than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
[Both:]
Both of us breakin' free
Soarin'
[Troy:]
Flyin'
[Both:]
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
[Troy:] Yeah we're breaking free
[Gabriella:]
Breaking free
Were runnin'
[Troy:]
Ohhhh, climbin'
[Both:]
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
[Troy:] Now's the time
[Gabriella:] So we're breaking free
[Troy:] Ohhh, we're breaking free
[Gabriella:] Ohhhh
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
