I just got off the phone with Ryne Sanborn who is in Salt Lake City, Utah RIGHT NOW rehearsing dance numbers for High School Musical 3! Ryne couldn’t reveal too much on the plot (trust me, I tried to get it out of him!) but he did confirm that there will be an East High PROM! He also hinted that Sharpay might have a new crush, and his character Jason gets a girlfriend! “We are going to cover everything that goes along with senior year,” Ryne admits.

Although they haven’t actually started filming the movie, Ryne says everyone — including Zac Efron — is already in Utah rehearsing dance scenes. “Everything is much more intense this time around,” he says. “The dance numbers are longer and THE SETS ARE BIGGER. The cast spends a lot of time at the hotel spa relaxing our sore muscles!”

Ryne also told me that everyone is getting along great and the older cast members have welcomed Wildcat newbies Matt Prokop, Justin Martin and Jemma McKenzie-Brown into the HSM family. “They are really cool,” he says. “Everyone is hanging out with everyone and no one is left out.” Go Wildcats!
