The 24-year-old started his acting career with amateur theatre productions and found fame in the "High School Musical". He later landed a singing role in the 2007 big screen adaptation of "Hairspray".
Efron has since starred in a string of hit romantic comedies and dramas, but says he can't wait to return to the stage, reported Daily Express online.
"Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theatre. There's a part of me that wishes I could go do it right now, but there's also a part of me that knows I need to tackle other types of acting opportunities first.
"I want to be a well-rounded, versatile performer. Until I master other things, it would be hard for me to get back to musical theatre," Efron said.
"But that will always be my home base and where I feel the most free, and it's something I will definitely do again, even if it's just for pleasure and personal fulfilment," he added.
