[edit] Song
This song takes place in the cafeteria. In the movie, Sharpay talks to Ryan about her dream about being a movie star and trying to get her brother back to her side, instead of the Wildcats' side. Ryan's worried that he'll be ignored and Sharpay will get all the limelight ("Sharpay and What's-his-name"), but Sharpay says that "with you we can win", perhaps admitting that Ryan is a better dancer and singer than she is. Soon after she tells him this, they enter a fantasy sequence where the cafeteria turns into a movie premiere, Sharpay has platinum blond hair and Ryan is adored by lots of girls. Soon everyone screams for Sharpay & Ryan. Troy soon turns to a crazed fan who has a heart on the center of his bicep that says "SE" (for Sharpay Evans), but is taken away by the bodyguards (Zeke and Jason). Ryan and Sharpay go through various stages of stardom, from workouts to getting Oscars to being hounded by Oprah. Most of the main and supporting students appear in the song in different roles, with Gabriella as Sharpay's fetish maid and Kelsi as a butch taxi driver. Later she and Ryan and other dancers appear under a spotlight, reaching for it. The song ends as Sharpay and Ryan return to real life.
The 2nd time the song is sung is in the auditorium during the Spring Musical after Chad, Zeke, Jason, the cheerleaders & the rest of the basketball team sing Now Or Never (Reprise) "(I Want It All (Reprise))". In this version, Ryan is joined by all the girls who really love him. However, only the last 45 seconds of the song are sung. Ryan ends the song with "My band! Thank you East High! You're amazing! Good night!" Afterward, Ryan and the girls get a huge round of applause from the audience.
