* This was a deleted scene, but apparently Ms. D and Coach Bolton were supposed to have a musical face-off in the Principal's office. That would have been a sight to see, especially since Alyson Reed (Ms. Darbus) formerly played Cassie in ''A Chorus Line''. On Broadway. The woman has pipes, folks.

** To elaborate on the former: previously, Sharpay had always been the bad girl trying to win the lead role, always backstabbing, manipulating, and buying her way to the top. Whenever Troy and Gabriella beat her out, she'd put a smile on her face and plot for next time. But in this movie, Tiara crushed her first. In one sweeping stroke, she replaced Sharpay as the villain- humiliating her, burning her acting, stealing her costume, revealing that she'd been playing Sharpay for the fool all along, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking turning the light off on her dresser door]]. Sharpay completely breaks down. Then, for the first time in the whole series, she decides she's not going to sit there and whine when she doesn't get her way. She takes the challenge face to face, puts on her spare costume, and, in what could be considered the series' only fight scene, SHARPAY UPSTAGES HER!!! This is not only her CMOA, but her turning point from Villain to Hero.
*** Let's go through this upstaging scene by scene- Tiara is about to get to the heart of her song, when Sharpay's voice drowns her's out and down from the ceiling comes the woman in question, holding an umbrella. With a "Surprise!", Sharpay gets right into it, which leads to them jostling for attention. This includes shoving one of the background dancers out of the way - Sharpay is so experienced that she does it ''with one hand'', while Tiara does it with two. The two of them keep fighting and get into a waltz before landing on a trap door. While Tiara is a little thrown off-balance and glances in worry at Sharpay, Sharpay just takes it in stride. Then, when they're looking out of the trapdoor, they're ''still'' fighting for dominance with Sharpay on top.

Hero - it's the moment Sharpay uses all the knowledge she's obtained being an AlphaBitch for ''good''.
