It's "High School Musical" all over again, only without the singing, or dancing or even the music. The Disney pop sensation, Ashley Tisdale, who played Sharpay Evans in all three musicals, has signed on to star in the new CW pilot, "Hellcats." And, just like in "High School Musical," she'll be bringing a whole lot of attitude with her. Tisdale will play Sierra, the intense captain of the Hellcats who will make her previous Sharpay character seem tame by comparison.
“I’m so excited for this project," she posted on her official blog. "I love the cast I’m working with and am so thrilled with the character I get to play.”
Former "Medium" actress, Sofia Vassilieva, has also joined the cast of the show, and will star alongside another well known Disney face, rock-chick Aly Michalka. Michalka has landed the lead role in the pilot and former "NYPD Blue" actress, Gail O'Grady, will play her mother. The series is being produced by "Smallville" star, Tom Welling, and will film shortly after filming wraps on the shows ninth season.
