Tisdale was born in West Deal, Monmouth County, New Jersey on July 2, 1985,[5] to Lisa (née Morris) and Mike Tisdale, the manager of a construction company. Her elder sister, Jennifer Tisdale, is an actress, and her maternal grandfather, Arnold Morris, developed the Ginsu Knives. Through her grandfather, Tisdale is related to businessman Ron Popeil.[6] She grew up in Ocean Township. She is Jewish on her mother's side and was raised with "a little bit of both" of her parents' religions.[7]
She had a head full of beautiful curly hair, huge eyes and when she looked at me she made the hugest of smiles.

At the age of three, Tisdale met her current manager, Bill Perlman, at a New Jersey mall. He sent her to numerous auditions for commercials, resulting in her placement in more than 100 national network TV ads as a kid.[9] She began her theatrical career by appearing in Gypsy: A Musical Fable and The Sound of Music at Monmouth County's Jewish Community Center.[5][10]
At the age of eight, she was cast to play the part of Cosette in a national touring production of the musical Les Misérables. "When I was little, I saw the play Les Misérables on Broadway, I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen so I went to my manager and told him I wanted to be in it", said Tisdale in an interview to Newsday in 2007.[8] She also claims to have had only a single singing lesson before landing the role.[8] Tisdale toured for two years on Les Misérables[11] before landing a role in an international touring production of Annie[9] in Korea.[12] At the age of twelve, Tisdale sang at the White House for President Bill Clinton.[5]
