Did you get a chance to meet with any of the original HSM cast members?

I actually got a chance to do an interview with Monique Coleman before I even auditioned for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series! She was legit so sweet and just straight up AMAZING. She has been a role model to me ever since I was young, and I feel like now that I’m older, I truly understand the powerful impact she has on people around the world. I love her soooo much!

I ALSO got a chance to meet Corbin Bleu in person at D23 Expo. That was beyond crazy due to the fact that he was my childhood crush! And seeing him now?! OMGOSH – he’s still as fine as can be!!!

What’s the funniest photo that you have on your phone right now (either share or describe it)?

So I go to a coffee shop here in LA and the waiter gives me a cappuccino on the house! And I’m over here thinking he’s flirting with me, so I took this selfie thinking I was cute. I go to the waiter to thank him - and I was low key flirting because I’m smooth like that! - and he proceeded to tell me that another customer ordered it but quickly realized he had a harsh allergy to the coffee…and the waiter was obligated to give it to someone else. The only other person in the shop was me.

Thanks, Dara! Catch High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+, and stay tuned for the rest of the HSMTMTS Spotlights, going live all week right here!
