When you have curls like Vanessa Hudgens, maintaining them is more than just a routine—it’s a full-time commitment. The “High School Musical” star and Bandslam actress was recently spotted leaving Alfred’s Cafe and heading to her favorite salon in Los Angeles.

Seven years earlier, she starred as high school student Sa5m (pronounced Sam; the 5 is silent) in Todd Graff’s 2009 American romantic comedy-drama film Bandslam.
Bandslam premiered in Westwood on August 6, 2009, and was released in theaters across the United States on August 14, 2009. At the time, Vanessa Hudgens was 20 years old and celebrated her 21st birthday on December 14, 2009, shortly after the film’s release.
Does Vanessa Hudgens Play Guitar in Bandslam?
Yes, she learned to play the guitar for Bandslam. While most of the cast members were responsible for recording their own singing and instrument performances, Vanessa Hudgens, Scott Porter, and Lisa Chung’s guitar and piano parts were ultimately dubbed over by professional musicians.

Vanessa Hudgens impressed the casting team with her rendition of “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse during her audition, as she initially had her sights set on the role of Charlotte. Despite her strong performance, the part ultimately went to Aly Michalka.

The passing of David Bowie on January 11, 2016, makes “Bandslam” his final film appearance. He agreed to participate in the film as he was a fan of Todd Graff’s previous film, the 2003 American musical comedy-drama film Camp.
