* The lyrics to "Breaking Free" can also very easily read as being about a same-sex couple being invisible and unacceptable to the world, but having the courage to be together anyways.
-->''[=You know the world can see us /
In a way that's different than who we are /
Creating space between us /
'Til we're separate hearts /
But your faith it gives me strength /
Strength to believe /
We're breakin' free=]''
* It's also worth mentioning that ''[=Kelsi=]'' is the one who wrote the play and all the songs for it. Is it possible that she intended for it to be about a lesbian couple because she herself was [[ClosetGay closeted]], but edited the play herself so she didn't face any backlash?
** And if that's the case, is it possible that she and Ryan were each other's [[TheBeard beards]]?!

* The effects of the song magic seem to get stronger throughout each movie. In the prelude, it's just Troy and Gabriella unexpectedly being able to sing, and in the first movie the effects are limited to spontaneous musical numbers and perfect unrehearsed choreography and lyrics. But by the third movie, Troy can use a musical number to make his team win the basketball game, and we see the song magic being used to create illusions/conjurations (in the junkyard scene) and manipulate gravity (in "Scream"). Not to mention that each movie shows larger numbers of people getting pulled into specific musical numbers.

* People don't seem to be aware of the existence of the song magic. Nobody really comments on it or studies it, and people talk about singing and theater the same way they do in our world. It's as if the magic didn't exist until it shows up in these movies.
* Similarly, there are no societal or legal measures taken to react to singer powers. No versebreakers to keep musical numbers from getting out of hand, no laws or regulations to stop Troy from using a performance-enhancing song to win the basketball game, nothing.

Despite Troy and Gabriella being no more noticeably talented than Ryan and Sharpay— who are undoubtedly more committed and arguably more charismatic and entertaining— it’s treated as a given that if Troy and Gabriella ''can'' audition for the call backs that they will get it. This must be because everyone is aware of the fact that casting twin siblings as love interests is gross, and if acceptable alternatives are given, they will be taken.

Simply put, Troy's part in ''Breaking Free'' is high, even for a tenor, and at times he's singing the same notes as Gabriella. Not the same notes an octave apart, like [[Theatre/LesMiserables Marius and Cosette]]. The same notes ''in the same octave''. (And around B4, for anyone who knows music) Could this mean the musical was actually written for two women, and Ms. Darbus edited it to appease the MoralGuardians of Albuquerque?

In November of 2017, it was revealed that an HSM spinoff is in the works for the Disney streaming service, coming in 2019. Perhaps Disney finally picked up ''Madison High''.

* This would make more sense than him suddenly graduating from DumbBlond to being an actually pretty clever kid come the next two movies. Seconded.
