PHOTO! Here is a picture of Mollee Gray of High School Musical turned SYTYCD star tonight. Mollee Gray was in High School Musical – in fact, all three HSM movies!
Gray is 19 and from Upland and was a principal dancer in all three Disney High School Musicals.
“It’s a feeling like you can’t describe. You’ve made history…No one knew it would get so big.” In the end, she said, “I’m very grateful to be part of the experience.”
She says of tonight’s competition: “I learned that technique isn’t everything with this show. It is very much about personality and growth as a dancer…You have to have that star quality. It was unexpected in a strict dance show.” Gray also said, “I learned a lot more self-discipline. It’s been a huge growing experience.”
“You never realize that people know who you are. …. We do have many fans and we are attracting an audience. It’s boosted our self-esteem and the way we are going to deliver. “

Tammin Sursok and Nolan Gerard Funk in Nickelodeon’s Spectacular play the Nick version of the Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron’s parts in Disney’s High School Musical.
Spectacular premieres tonight and many say it’s better than Camp Rock.
She talks to MTV about her upcoming role:
On adapting to her character, Courtney: “I’d never been able to play a comedic role with such an A-type personalty before. So I watched a lot of films like Grease and Election. And Courtney’s definitely a perfectionist, so I found the character’s neuroses and the little things that perfectionists do and adapted them to myself. It also came down to how she walked. She walks really upright which is not how I walk. So every time I’d walk upright, I would morph into her.”
On show choirs: “I’m from Australia, and we didn’t have show choir there, so I hadn’t even heard of it! It’s kind of an American phenomenon. But it sounds like so much fun! I would’ve been it!”
On kissing her co-star, Nolan Gerard Funk: “The kiss was supposed to take place on stage, and then there was back-and-forth banter about where the kiss would take place. We didn’t know where we were going to kiss, so Nolan was like ‘Why don’t we just do both?’ I was like ‘Mmhm. Sure.’ But we went for it right at the end, which seemed more appropriate.”
On her music career: “I did music in Australia and London, and I’ve been approached by a few different record labels, but I haven’t figured out where I wanna go. Sometimes if you wanna do music, you have to put your whole heart and soul into it, and I just don’t know where I wanna go with that right now.”
On her Valentine’s Day plans: “I’ll still be in New York, so we’ll see what happens. Maybe I’ll be asked to dinner!”

VIDEO! Watch video of Zac Efron on Ellen October 30. Zac Efron appears on Ellen DeGeneres in this video, just days before High School Musical 3’s second big weekend!
Efron and High School could pull in number 1 in the boxoffice a second week in a row, reported LALATE to you earlier today.
But even if it doesn’t, Efron already has something else next great on his plate. Efron will appear in a remake of Footloose. Efron will get a mid seven figure for the Footloose movie.
Older readers will remember that Footloose was a massive hit led by Kevin Bacon. “HSM” director Kenny Ortega will direct again and this time Efron will get script approval. Bacon says Efon is perfect for the part.
LALATE2 has up the video of Zac on Ellen today.
