Posted: 4/16/07 at 8:25pmI was just watching her segment online - when she was 15 she got cast as Eva in "Evita"? What were the producers & directors smoking? How old was the Mistress - 12?

Is there a theatrical law that states the mistress MUST be younger than Eva?

haha dugh craig...if someone feels she is unfit then it must be wrong.
judging from what she said she was just as shocked as you are. the girl is well spoken and has an insane voice. it has a very mature sound to it.she is very tall and very mature for her age (22) so i am sure she was just as mature at 15. Need I remind you when Eva died she was only 33. She also met Juan Peron at age 25. The Buenos Aires scene in real life (aka when she moved there) happened when she was 15 also. the musical speeds up her life a lot. it is not far fetched one bit.

Posted: 4/16/07 at 8:57pmno no no, my point is that a 15 year old can't grasp Eva's journey thru the show - it's a bitch of a role - there is nothing that a 15 year old has to back it up with - at best she can only ape and mimic emotion of someone else who did the role.

And you have seen every fifteen year old on Earth act and sing so you can safely say that NO fifteen year old girl could sing and act the part of Eva, or are you saying it because she is so young?
Ditto Yankee.

Posted: 4/16/07 at 9:02pmI'd love to see clips, too. This girl needs to stay on Broadway and get on a CD.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

Posted: 4/16/07 at 9:05pmAs she said in the interview she was highly recgonized for this role. There was supposedly a huge review in the LA Times. Since it was in 1999 there is not much record of it online.
