Walt Disney Records Releases the Soundtrack From the All-New Movie Starring America's Favorite "High School Musical" Drama Queen Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale)

BURBANK, Calif., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney Records is set to release the digital soundtrack from Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, the hilarious all-new movie musical on Blu-ray™ and DVD from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, starring Ashley Tisdale recreating her role as America's favorite "High School Musical" drama queen. Featuring six new songs performed by Tisdale and others, the soundtrack arrives April 19 at digital retail on the same day and date as the movies Blu-ray™ and DVD release. The nationwide release date for the eight-song physical soundtrack is May 17.

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure is a witty musical comedy about pursuing life-long dreams and believing in yourself. Songs include the upbeat lead track, "Gonna Shine," sung by Ashley. Grounded in a timeless Broadway style, other songs include "My Boi and Me" and the companion tune, "My Girl and Me" (the latter performed by Ashley and co-star Shawn Molko). "New York's Best Kept Secret" is a touchingly reflective ballad, while "The Rest of My Life" is an all-heart-all-hope pop gem. Lucas Grabeel, who co-starred as Ryan Evans in the "High School Musical" films alongside Ashley, sings the love song, "Baby" (Justin Bieber's Top 10 hit). Bonus tracks on the physical release include Aly and AJ's rendition of "Walking on Sunshine" and a remix of "Fabulous" from "High School Musical 2" (Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel).

Tisdale shines in this captivating comedy. After a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, Sharpay Evans (Tisdale) sets off for the bright lights of New York, convinced fame and fortune are in the bag. But the Broadway is a dog-eat-dog world, as she and Boi learn 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 Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, Ashley is joined by co-stars Austin Butler ("Life Unexpected," "Ruby and the Rockits" and "Zoey 101"), Bradley Steven Perry ("Good Luck Charlie"), Cameron Goodman ("Phineas and Ferb," "The Phantom") Alec Mapa ("Ugly Betty," "Desperate Housewives") Jack Plotnick ("Reno 911," "Drawn Together") and Lauren Collins ("Take the Lead," "Degrassi: The Next Generation").

The film was directed by Michael Lembeck ("Tooth Fairy," "The Santa Clause 2 & 3 and TV's "Friends"), produced by Jonathan Hackett ("Honey I Shrunk The Kids: The TV Show," "Relic Hunter") and executive-produced by Barry Rosenbush ("High School Musical"), Bill Borden ("High School Musical") and Ashley Tisdale.

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure soundtrack will be available digitally on April 19 and physically on May 17. For more information on Walt Disney Records' releases, please visit Disney.com/music, become a fan at Facebook.com/disneymusic or follow us at Twitter.com/disneymusic.
