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. |
