| But it wasn’t “auditions.” As far as we’ve been told, it was one Zoom audition. Which doesn’t sound fair when there are a bunch of qualified singing actresses who weren’t even given a chance to compete for it. | |

| I totally agree. Do we really know the extent of the audition process in this case. Back in the day, people seen for leads......and even more so in major projects, would go through extensive callbacks and readings and had to be agreed upon by entire creative teams! I mean like 10 people! I realize with the pandemic and self taping, that process was abbreviated but if it was just one or 2 submitted self tapings, something just does feel right about this situation. I remember someone telling me way back when........"yeah, but the musical director didn't want me or the choreographer said No..." Where were the naysayers in this instance? | |

| And back in the day people were also offered roles without auditioning, or had roles written for them, or had them soft offered with the formality of an audition for the producers... There are and were many ways auditions and casting processes go... none of them are present here. This circumstance of Beanie being hired doesn't fall into any normal category of how anyone is hired for a lead in a Broadway show. And I very much doubt a single zoom audition after having never starred in a musical in a major production prior, and with the tricky element of their parents being investors, will be a common audition process... regardless of whether she "earned" the role fair and square via talent and fit for the role or not. |

| Exactly. This supports the family bought it argument. Which is the point. | |
