| - Because Zack was forced to serve detention after breaking a blackboard, he ends up backstage at the auditions. Cody sings "When I Was a Lad" by Gilbert and Sullivan, which impresses Mr. Blaine, the drama teacher. Maddie sings "Bop to the Top", a song from High School Musical, and wows Mr. Blaine as well. Antonio, the new student, chose to sing "Floss", the main theme from Mr. Blaine's Broadway production. London, on the other hand, sings "London Tipton is Really Great!" completely out of tune, to Mr. Blaine's horror. After the auditions, the casting list was posted on their school's website. Cody was Troy Bolton, Antonio was Ryan Evans, and London was cast as Sharpay. Maddie, enraged, finds out that she is cast as an understudy for London. When Maddie asks Antonio why London was cast—despite being unable to sing, dance, or act—he replies by telling her that London's father financed Mr. Blaine's Broadway musical. During rehearsal, London practices with Antonio for "Bop to the Top", but her singing and dancing are horrendous, and Mr. Blaine recommends lessons. She astutely hires Carey to teach her to sing, and Mr. Moseby to help her learn to dance. Despite the lessons, however, London is still a dancing clutz, and cannot even master a musical scale. Desperate and running out of time, the group decides that London cannot sing, but Mr. Blaine refuses to take her from the play due to the fact that Mr. Tipton will be there to see the play. Instead, he decides to have Maddie lip sync for London, all while hidden backstage. Reluctantly, pressured by the entire cast, Maddie accepts the request. Despite Carey and Mr. Moseby expecting disaster from London's acting, they see her singing in perfect pitch (though she seems to have nailed down the dancing herself). Zack, wanting the world to see that it's all just a façade, gets Cody to help him lower the backstage curtain, allowing the audience to see that Maddie is the one singing. Enraged, Antonio storms off the stage mid-song, leaving London to fend for herself. Maddie puts on Antonio's hat and steps up, telling London to sing alongside her. London eventually does, and the two finish the song together—while Zack and Cody prevent Antonio from interfering. After the song, because Maddie and London were able to sing together, they receive a standing ovation; Zack receives an air-kiss from Maddie in return.
