On January 7, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series’ Sofia Wylie (Gina) turned 17! The close-knitted cast celebrated Sofia's 17th birthday with a "little parade" after filming!
In an Instagram Live, co-star Olivia Rodrigo (Nini) says:
I "I’m obsessed with Sofia. I think she’s the best person that ever happened. I think she is the most beautiful human being I have ever seen."
I "It’s honestly astonishing and she’s so perfect that it makes me mad. But you can’t be mad at her because she’s the nicest."
Olivia also reveals that the cast of HSMTMTS threw a little "party" for Sofia's 17th birthday, as they were filming that day.
I "I just got back from [the celebration]. We did a little parade because we couldn’t really have a party."
Olivia adds that they had initially wanted to throw an outside masked "party" for Sofia.
I "We kind of tried to have a party for her, [but] obviously, it's just not safe out there. [We] should not be throwing parties. [But] we would have been obviously, very safe. We would have been outside. [A] masked party."
However, due to the pandemic, Olivia and the others had wanted to be "extra safe" and opted instead for a car party.
I "But we decided we should be be extra safe and do a car party. So we all decorated our cars and gave our gifts. And got a bunch of balloons. It was really fun."
As Olivia couldn't throw Sofia the birthday party she wanted, she reveals that next year when Sofia turns 18, she wants to throw Sofia a "real birthday party" as Sofia is "the best ever".
I "I hope she enjoyed it. I can’t wait for when she’s 18 and I can throw her a real birthday party because she deserves the whole world. I cannot stress this enough. Sofia Wylie is the best ever."
In a series of Instagram Stories, Sofia uploaded a few snippets of the parade. In the first post, fans can see two decorated "birthday" cars with balloons pull up with the song "Dancing Queen" by ABBA blasting out loud.
Next, there's a picture of HSMTMTS' co-stars Dara Reneé (Kourtney), Joshua Basset (Ricky), Joe Serafini (Seb), Larry Saperstein (Big Red) and Frankie A. Rodriguez (Carlos) all posing dramatically together.
The cast of HSMTMTS also gave birthday wishes to Sofia on their respective Instagram Stories.
