In a new interview with ET, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL's Ashley Tisdale revealed she would consider starring in NBC's recently announced next live musical production, HAIRSPRAY.

"I'd have to obviously stay open to [the idea]," the 30-year-old" tells the site. However, she goes on to admit that the live element of the show may be too much pressure to handle. "With sitcoms it's in front of a live audience, but you're able to go back and, like, redo it if you mess up," she explains, adding that she "couldn't imagine" how embarrassing it would be if she "messed up" on live TV.

Ashley Tisdale was one of the breakout stars of the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel worldwide phenomenon "High School Musical," as well as a number of other successful television shows and feature films. Most recently, Ashley starred in the TBS comedy series "Clipped" and will soon be seen on the big screen alongside Jason Biggs in the independent comedy "Drive She Said."

Tisdale is also a successful recording artist, with her solo album, "Headstrong," having debuted in February 2007 and entered the Billboard Top 200 Chart at #5. Having founded Blondie Girl Productions, the production company behind ABC Family's "Young & Hungry," she plays a pivotal role both in front of and behind the camera.
