On paper, Hudgens’ role in 2009’s Slamband doesn’t seem like a big leap from the high school musical – she’s the new girl who comes to town and decides to put together a rock band to compete with other bands. Hudgens has also released two albums, was a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, and appeared in live television productions for Grease and Rent. The actress has followed darker roles in films such as Sucker Punch, Spring Breakers and The Frozen Ground. Her big break came in 2006 when she landed the lead role in Disney’s popular high school music film franchise. She had an early love of the show which led her to appear in local music productions at the age of eight. Vanessa Hudgens is an American actress and singer who rose to fame as a teenager with her starring role in the films “High School Musical”.
