In this series filmed in the form of a mockumentary and taking place in the high school where the three films with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were shot, the young actress lends her features to the enthusiastic Nini. This high school student passionate about music, like her interpreter, landed the main role in the stage version of High School Musical.
