* ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'': Chad mentions his mother has seen the musical 27 times and is obsessed with Michael Crawford, the original actor who played Phantom in London and on Broadway
-->'''Chad:''' Have you ever seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box?
-->'''Troy:''' Who's Michael Crawford?
-->'''Chad:'''Exactly my point! He was the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Now my mom, she's seen that musical twenty-seven times. And she put Michael Crawford's picture in our refrigerator. Yeah, not on it, in it. So my point is, if you play basketball, you're gonna end up on a cereal box. If you sing in musicals, you're gonna end up in my mom's refrigerator.
